Our Story
Till 2002 ryyty was part of a 150 year old European group, Butonia - a well known name in the European clothing industry, founded by our Chairman’s great-grandfather as Z.A.Frankel in Frankfurt, Germany in 1865. The company was rebranded as Butonia and grew as a premier clothing company supplying to some of the biggest European brands like M&S, Bagir, Dannimac and NEXT.
An Indian division was established in 1997 as Butonia (India) Pvt. Ltd. As a result of a management buyout, led by the Group Chairman,
ex-Butonia managers from Hong Kong and the Managing Director, Butonia India was renamed RubyEnt Apparel Resources.
Our company has for some time now taken an independent path, orientated on international expansion and product diversification. We
thus, found it appropriate to rebrand our company, using a name that strengthens our identity as a fashion oriented company, emphasizes our Indian identity and at the same time pays respect to our long corporate history - giving birth to ryyty.
ryyty was selected as a brand name to bring together the old and the new. In Sanskrit it means “fashion”, in line with our young and vibrant culture. In Finnish it means “spices”, a word evocative of saffron (zafran), the traditional colour of India, which reminds us of the original company of our group, Z.A.Frankel("Zafran").
Why Us?
Over the last three decades, ryyty has earned an excellent reputation in the garment industry, across various markets, for our dedicated service, high quality products and for our values.
