Lavie Luxe aims to be a multi-category brand, forays into luxury fragrance

After entering the premium watch segment earlier this year, Lavie has now ventured into luxury fragrances in a bid to become a multicategory luxury player

Bengaluru: Fashion accessories brand Lavie’s luxury arm Lavie Luxe has forayed into the fragrance category with the launch of a new perfume line featuring four eau de parfums (EDPs), a top company official told IndiaRetailing.

“The launch of the Lavie Luxe perfume line aligns with our broader strategy of becoming a multi-category brand,” said Ayush Tainwala, chief executive officer (CEO) of Lavie. “By entering the perfume market, we are expanding our footprint in the luxury segment and reinforcing our brand’s identity as a provider of premium lifestyle products.”

The perfumes are available on the brand’s direct-to-consumer (D2C) website lavieworld.com, its exclusive retail outlets nationwide, and e-commerce marketplaces such as Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa, and Tira.

The collection, featuring products named Lush, Lily, Lagoon, and Love, claims to contain an 18% fragrance concentration, providing a lasting effect of 6 to 8 hours.

“Our target audience for Lavie Luxe perfumes matches our current customer base for other Lavie Luxe products. These are typically women aged 25-45 who are urban, well-traveled, and have a taste for premium goods,” added Tainwala.

The retailer intends to introduce Lavie Luxe to international markets and is in the process of seeking partnerships, experimenting with exports to the UK and the Middle Eastern markets.

Earlier this year, Lavie entered the premium watch category. At present, Lavie offers up to 3,000 different stock-keeping units (SKUs) and is in talks to expand into new categories.

“We are considering entering other lifestyle segments that align with our brand values. While I currently cannot reveal the details of the same but can assure that we aim to be a multi-category brand in the coming years,” he added.

Lavie, parented by Mumbai-based Bagzone Lifestyles, was founded in 2009 by Shobha Tainwala, the mother of the current CEO. The company currently owns and markets its flagship brand Lavie, along with its subsidiaries Lavie Sport and Lavie Luxe.

At present, Lavie operates over 120 exclusive brand stores including full-fledged stores as well as kiosks and is targeting to launch 50 exclusive stores every year. Read more about its expansion plans here.

In October last year, Lavie raised its first external funding of $9 million in a round led by First Bridge India Growth Fund, as per media reports.

Eagle Labs launches impirica CBD brand

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...

"Since opening our doors in 2017, we have pushed for the best guest-experience possible — that's why our dough is 100 percent naturally leavened, that's why we have a purpose-built 400-square-foot pick-up and delivery area, and that's why we’ve launched a direct-to-consumer subscription-based ecommerce platform,” said Founder & CEO Ali Khan Lalani. “In 2020, providing the best guest experience means General Assembly Pizza has to be more than a restaurant.
