Activity described

Kats Collection is collectively owned by siblings, Visituonuo Rio and Kenny Rio from Dimapur, Nagaland. Named after Visituonuo’s nick name “Katrin”. While pursuing her studies in Allahabad, Visituonuo observed that there were only a handful of active online stores, and realised that there was a wide potential for growth. Kats Collection commenced online in the year 2011. It initially dealt in garments and shoes, taking orders from her friends and near ones and as the number of orders kept rising Kats Collection has only been expanding, and opened their first physical store in Dimapur in the year 2016. And have added two more outlets in Kohima and Shillong respectively.
