We have also launched the latest fashion silhouette we have introduced Bralettes, which are easy slip on styles with the magic of lace,” says Mehta.
According to him, some of the most innovative products in amanté’s portfolio include Bodycraft – an ingenious range of body sculpting bras which have a Minimizer for full-figured women that is guaranteed to reduce cup size by 1 inch.

Brassieres can start from anywhere between Rs 445 and go up to Rs 1995, while panties start from as low as Rs 195 and can go up Rs 895.
Primary Markets
The brand has a pan India presence, something that will continue to be a focus point.
“As any other retail brand, most of our business comes from Metro and mini metros, but the next phase of growth is the Tier II cities,” adds Mehta.
The brand, which is counted amongst the top premium lingerie brands, is available in over 1,500 outlets across India. It’s available across channels in multi brand outlets, large format stores, online and at exclusive brand outlets.
