Myntra, India’s leading fashion and m-commerce platform, has announced the addition of Parfois, a renowned Portuguese women’s accessories brand, to its international brands portfolio. The collaboration marks Parfois’ entry into the Indian market, offering a diverse range of fashion-forward accessories, the brand announced in a release on Wednesday.
Founded in 1994 by Manuela Medeiros, Parfois specializes in creating and distributing bags, shoes, apparel, and accessories such as jewelry, sunglasses, scarves, hats, and gloves. The brand has gained global recognition for its quality products, reaching a milestone of 1,000 stores in 2019 and expanding its presence to over 70 countries by 2023.
In this exclusive partnership with Myntra, Parfois aims to cater to discerning Indian consumers, starting with over 250 options curated for GenZ and millennial shoppers. The brand’s offerings feature an attractive Average Selling Price (ASP) of approximately ₹2,000, targeting trend-conscious women with a preference for high-performing bags.
The collection is available on Myntra and showcases Parfois’ signature styles, including crossbody bags, shoulder bags, faux fur totes, and quilted bags. The focus lies on handbags, totes, and slings with simple and trendy designs, available in a wide spectrum of colors.
By aligning with Myntra, Parfois gains a strategic entry into the thriving Indian market, tapping into Myntra’s extensive customer base of fashion-forward consumers. The partnership leverages Myntra’s on-app channels, social media platforms, and pioneering social commerce offerings to enhance Parfois’ visibility and brand recall.
Customers stand to benefit from the launch offers, including a flat 20% price reduction on Parfois products. Jayanti Ganguly, VP – Business, Myntra, expressed, “As the sense of style evolves across the country in line with global trends, we are seeing an increased appetite for trend-first accessory brands with customers proactively looking for accessories high-on style that best reflects their personalities.
