Medway based business Kalikas Armour, founded by Jatin Patel, is a luxurious British fashion label specialising in high quality conceptual design and bespoke, made to measure pieces with a unique aesthetic.
Having first joined the programme in 2023, Kalikas Armour progressed to the second stage of the investment readiness programme in 2024, developing their investment pitch and showcasing the business to investors, peers and stakeholders at the Create South East January event.
“I first wanted to join the Create South East Programme with the idea of wanting to grow, but I wasn’t sure how I wanted to do it, so the programme was a brilliant opportunity to consolidate everything. We could see what was possible, where we could go and who we could work with.”
“The next step for us is to build a new revenue stream and create a ready to wear collection that we’re intending to sell on the e-commerce side, as well as looking for wholesale partners. We really worked with our mentor on the programme to carve out that path and achieve those ambitions.”
