About Wrangler

The brand in India has come a long way, evolving to meet the needs of the ‘urban cowboy’ with a range of fashion apparel that is contemporary, fashionable yet rugged. A part of VF Corporation – the world’s largest apparel company, Wrangler has found a loyal consumer base in the Indian youth that swears by this unique fashion brand. This stylish denim brand is available at exclusive standalone stores, leading apparel stores and major department stores.
