Seeking to capitalise on growth opportunities in the lingerie and beauty markets, Marks & Spencer has unveiled its first standalone lingerie and beauty store in India.

The store, covering 5,000sqf, was opened by model and Bollywood actress Lisa Haydon and Venu Nair, managing director of Marks & Spencer Reliance India, at Infinity Mall, Mumbai.

The standalone concept store is dedicated to bringing the very best of Marks & Spencer’s quality, stylish and innovative lingerie and an edited beauty offer comprising skincare, body care, hair care and fragrance. 

Venu said the standalone concept makes for an exciting new shopping destination. “The aspirational format with a smaller footprint also allows us to access even more prime positions in leading shopping malls in line with our international growth strategy to have a presence in these key retail locations.”
