MUMBAI: Flipkart Fashion, India's largest online fashion store, today announced the launch of its new in-house Western wear label, Ann Springs, focused on the new-age Indian woman with a bold individual style and an eye for the latest trends. Designed especially with the 22-25 age group in mind, Ann Springs currently features over 150 unique styles starting at Rs. 399, with plans to double the selection in the next few months.
Women’s western wear is one of the fastest growing segments in the online fashion space today. As Indian tastes change to reflect the country’s influential youth population, shoppers are increasingly turning to buying apparel online. As with all its existing private labels, Flipkart has identified an underserved segment of the market -- young, professional women looking for premium Western apparel that can transition smoothly from casual to glam. Ann Springs is looking to give these customers what they have been aspiring for.
Launching the new label, Rishi Vasudev, Head of Fashion at Flipkart, said. “Women’s western wear is one of our fastest growing categories, where we have witnessed 100% Y-o-Y growth from Tier II cities and beyond. Women from smaller towns are clearly telling us that they want international styles tailored specifically to the Indian woman. This is where Ann Springs comes in. Our collection brings together the latest Western styles at affordable prices, and will help women from all over the country look the way they want to.”
“Inspired by fast fashion, Ann Springs couples trendiness with day-to-day functionality. We are confident the brand will help create stickiness for our large women shopper base and solidify Flipkart Fashion as the top destination for all of India’s fashion needs,” he added.
Ann Springs is the sixth private label offering from Flipkart Fashion, following in the footsteps of Divastri, a women's ethnic wear range; Metronaut, for the urban man; Anmi, a brand of fusion ethnic wear; Miss & Chief, kidswear; and the Cara Mia line for women’s footwear and accessories.
