With its unconventional approach to fashion and keen attention to detail, it appeals to all style-conscious men and makes them beat the odds with things beyond ordinary.

"Any business practice involves margins & mark-ups, they don't honestly justify the product & service cost. Tangible costs such as warehousing, rent, staff payment, electricity, and others are associated with product cost in offline retail
market. Ultimately, not supporting the quality even with increased price. Taking this into account, Hats Off Accessories focuses to truncate the intervention of wholesalers, distributors & stores who add up to the extra cost margins," says Sunaina Harjai, Founder.
