Whether it’s a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes or an LV bag or even a pair of Levi’s jeans, we plot, plan and save every penny to purchase one for ourselves. We do our research, check in with friends and families, and compare prices and quality before making that final decision to buy.
However, there are things about these brands that we aren’t really aware of. We brush them off as unnecessary information when the fact is that knowing some trivia about your favourite brand is actually good! So, here’s some for you.

The only thing Dutch about this brand is its name! It is an American brand that operates under license to Madura Fashion & Lifestyle in India and other South East Asian countries.
The name is so English that you end up assuming that it’s got to be from England, but there is a surprise! It is actually a part of Madura Fashion & Lifestyle, a division of Aditya Birla Nuvo Ltd. Where’s that stiff upper lip now?
