The case presents a consumer-brand interaction scenario where product features are not the primary determinants of consumers’ patronage, but experiences, emotions and pleasures evoked during association with the brand become the major determinants. Fabindia not only has a strong national presence but has also acquired a distinctive position of a craft-based retailer world-wide due to its unique, environmental-friendly products, promoting the craft heritage of the country.
