Sher Singh, the brand specialising in sports lifestyle, has launched the Race Day Collection. “The collection’s highlights are three long-sleeved polos in red, navy blue and black. Racing elements such as the Monaco Grand Prix and the Chicane among others have inspired the colours on these shirts,” explains Rahul Batra, men’s brand director at Sher Singh.
“We’ve designed the polos keeping in mind the jeans and cap clad youngster. This is a classic F1 look on a Sunday afternoon,” says Batra. Here, the pinch on your pocket can be anywhere between Rs 999 and Rs 1,119. Batra adds, “Additionally, there is 20 per cent discount on the collection.”
Luxury watchmaker TAG Heuer has introduced India Racing Limited Edition 2012. These 250 watches have been adorned with the logo of ‘Mastering Speed for 150 Years’.
