KOLKATA, June 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

www.gkboptical.com [http://www.gkboptical.com ], launched in late 2011, as India's authorized online retailer for designer eyewear brands brought a variety of international optical brands to Indian online retail like Prada, Versace, Tommy Hilfiger, Emporio Armani, Police, and others.

The range of eyewear brands [http://www.gkboptical.com/brands ] includes Bvlgari, Tag Heuer, Porsche Design, Swarovski, Gucci, Tiffany, Ralph Lauren, Christian Dior and more.

Increasing exposure to global brands, has led to ever increasing demand for authentic international eyewear brands. Market data shows that the Indian consumer has great interest in global luxury brands. Growth in brand consciousness in the Tier II, III cities have led to boost in luxury shopping, with high-end fashion labels launching in India.

Looking at this increased demand for designer eyewear brands online, Dhruv Gupta, CEO, www.gkboptical.com [http://www.gkboptical.com ] said, "We are constantly adding new eyewear brands to our collection. Market trends are showing that the consumer in big cities as well as smaller towns is keen to consume luxury brands. Physical retail stores have a limitation of geographical reach and variety of collection due to high inventory costs. At our online store, customers can browse and purchase the latest and the greatest in eyewear, in just a few clicks."

The e-commerce store has seen strong traction, from both metros/tier 1 towns along with smaller towns. Dhruv said, "Over 56% of the orders come from Tier 2 and other smaller towns. In terms of transaction value, smaller towns drive higher transaction values than larger cities. This could be partly due to the unavailability of designer brands in smaller towns through retail stores, while there is an equally strong aspiration and purchasing capacity. Our store has over 800 different models that are priced over Rs 10,000. That is far more products, that a typical eyewear store can carry."
