D’Decor has unveiled its in-house brand, 'FabriCare,' which specialises in high-performance fabrics.

Mayur Varma, Chief Creative Officer, 82.5 Communications, said, “High-performance fabrics. Check. High-performance superstars. Check. High-performance universe creation. Check. This film is just the beginning. Watch this space for more.”
The marriage of form and function is reflected in the commercial and all the other communication that follows. The film opens at the tastefully styled home of Alia, where a few unexpected guests threaten to ruin its beauty. This becomes the setting for some Bollywood-style storytelling, that’s packed with action and entertainment, FabriCare by D’Decor brings Bhatt and Khan together, adding a touch of their signature charm to the narrative.
The film was directed by Vasan Bala and produced by Dharma 2.0.
Ajay Arora, Managing Director, D’Decor Home Fabrics, said, “FabriCare – High Performance Fabrics by D’Decor is a new brand from the house of D’Decor. Our first brand campaign has two high performers of their field – Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt who infuse together attributes of high performance and beauty. The campaign comprising four films will effectively convey superior functional attributes of the FabriCare range of curtain and upholstery fabrics. Each film has a clutter-breaking script and brings together for the first time two superstars together as brand ambassadors. The two superstars together appeal to a wider segment of consumers. We welcome Alia Bhatt to the D’Decor family and we are sure that this new association will resonate with architects and interior designers as well as consumers who wish to enjoy their homes and experience unmatched performance.”

From organic spaces to plush luxurious settings, we have it all at FabriCare. FabriCare, from the House of D’Decor is positioned to fulfil the Indian consumer’s needs and home decor requirements, giving them multiple color & design options along with High Performance, Easy Care & more..!”
Nikita Desai, VP - Strategy and Business Excellence, said, “Consumers’ experience with curtain and upholstery in their homes is filled with anxiety arising from the fear of tarnishing their furnishings. The key insight that the FabriCare campaign rests on is ‘Beautiful things do not need to be fragile and achieving strength and beauty if made possible will liberate the consumer from restrictions.’ This insight led to a creative thought ‘Don’t Handle with Care’ - a call to our consumers to live carefree within their homes with FabriCare!”
Kapil Arora, Co-Chairman and CEO, 82.5 Communications, said, “It is not every day that you get to launch a new brand in the market.

The resultant FabriCare proposition, of Beauty that needs no protection, has been brought to life, featuring superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt.”
