Kora opens third Tamil Nadu store in Chennai’s Anna Nagar

CHENNAI:  Kora by Nilesh Mitesh has given Chennai another reason to dress up. The bridge-to-luxury Indian men’s ethnic wear brand has opened its third store in Tamil Nadu at Anna Nagar, marking a confident step in its growing love affair with the city.

Located on 2nd Avenue, the new 4,200 square feet flagship is both a celebration and a thank you. After the strong response to its Nungambakkam store and steady patronage from across the state, Kora’s latest opening brings its signature craftsmanship closer to North Chennai’s style-conscious crowd.

The Anna Nagar store blends Tamil tradition with contemporary flair. Think refined veshti sets, silk kurtas made for Pongal mornings, pancha and kurta pairings for temple visits, and angavastram-inspired sherwanis that nod to heritage while staying firmly modern. Every piece is designed for today’s man who values culture but prefers clean lines and confident silhouettes.

For grooms, the store is a destination in itself. From luxurious silk sherwanis and designer veshti combinations to sharply tailored Indo western ensembles, Kora offers made-to-measure wedding wear backed by personalised styling consultations. The focus is simple. Honour tradition, look unforgettable.

The founders say the expansion is driven by genuine customer warmth. Chennai, they note, has embraced Kora not just for weddings, but for life’s quieter celebrations too. Opening in Anna Nagar is their way of returning that affection and making the brand more accessible across the city.

Founded in 2011 by designer duo Nilesh Chhadva and Mitesh Sumbad, Kora has grown from a boutique studio into a global name in luxury Indian menswear. Today, the brand operates 28 stores across India, the UK and the UAE, balancing traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design at every step.

The Anna Nagar store features dedicated sections for festive wear, wedding collections, fusion styles and classic essentials, along with expert tailoring services. As always, attention to detail is the hero, from fabric selection to finishing touches.

To mark the opening, Kora is hosting launch week celebrations with collection previews, complimentary styling sessions and special offers. The store is open daily from 10.30 am to 9 pm, with appointments available for personalised consultations.

With this launch, Kora continues to do what it does best. Build a bridge between heritage and modern life, one impeccably tailored outfit at a time.
