Commenting on the launch, Johnson Verghese, managing director at Fossil India, in a statement said: “We are delighted to provide our consumers in India with a retail experience that is fuelled with our passion to embark on a sustainable journey.

Today, we are proud to partner with brands, like Fossil, who share a vision of reducing their environmental impact using eco-friendly materials.”
