Lessons in lingerie: meet the underwear brands with the secret to success

To thrive in today’s retail environment, a lingerie brand needs to juggle product design, quality control, communication and expansion. If your lingerie brand still relies on phone calls, emails and spreadsheets to collaborate and organize product development and sourcing information, it’s time for a change.

As lingerie brands continue to move into more and more sizes, the whole process will become more complicated and more expensive. Perfect fit will be just one of the many challenges of both making and selling lingerie, specifically bras that can anywhere from 18 to 25 components. This is why the world’s most exciting and innovative lingerie brands are embracing cutting-edge technologies that transform their way of working and give them an edge over the competition.
