The details
- Virgio launched Beyond The Curve, a plus-size women's clothing line, last year.
- The line was co-created with actor Anjali Anand and built using customer feedback.
- Virgio uses an on-demand production model for this line, meaning clothes are made only after orders come in.
- This approach helps reduce waste and manage inventory better.
- The launch is part of Virgio's strategy to enter the growing plus-size fashion segment in India.
The bigger picture
- India's apparel retail market is estimated to cross $193 billion by FY30, showing huge growth potential.
- Competitors like Myntra, Westside, and TIGC already have plus-size lines, so Virgio faces a crowded field.
- NEWME, another startup, is also preparing a plus-size range, increasing competition.
- The focus on fit and technology, like AI sizing tools, could help Virgio stand out.
