Be it newspapers, magazines, internet, international trends, retailer’s and customer feedbacks etc., one basically needs to keep his/her eyes and ears open all the time and observe fashion. Having said that we also follow design and colour forecasts for every season well in advance.”

Are the products produced in the India or abroad?

P.K: “All the products are 100% ‘Make in India'”

What is so important different about your products that we need to know about?

The return value for a brand is not only in the look but also in the comfort and quality of it. We feel our design sensibility and quality control are our biggest USP’s.”

What’s your opinion on the lingerie design and market in India?

P.K: ” Lingerie design and the market both is evolving at a frantic pace in India. One can see the revolution in the society mirroring the products in the market.

How has been the response from Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets? What challenges do you face there?

P.K: “The response has been great. Though most of our orders come from the Metro cities, but when we see orders from remote pin codes, we do get excited. People are definitely more aware now and make an informed decision. The main challenge is reverse pick-up which turns out to be very expensive.”

What inspiration was taken in designing the website? How do you infuse newness to your portal?

P.K: “The game is to constantly keep updating your online data. We have recently revamped the whole look and feel of the website and made it more minimalistic and appealing than before. We understand the strength of our website. Almost every month we do certain changes and updates to keep up with it. Simple international websites were followed in terms of layout. AB testing was done by our near and dear ones.”

Is there any particular detail/fabric/element/… that you use repeatedly in your designs? If so, why?

P.K: “We are constantly changing our designs but what is repeated is our fabrics providing the best and most comfortable material available. Mostly 100% cotton fabric is used which is the most important aspect in comfort.”
