Head Gear: A paradise for fashion enthusiasts
Head Gear offers more than 5,000 imported and in-house designed hats
Albeit underrated, head accessories, especially hats and caps, are unparallel fashion statements.
While shopping for himself, Imran Hossain, an undergraduate student at North South University, found a gap in the market for head accessories.
"Although local markets are flooded with caps and hats with different price tags, there are a few brands, solely dedicated to making these," he said.
