About ‘The Plus Size Store’ By Meera Creations
We are a direct-to-consumer (D2C) women’s ethnic wear brand specialized in curating beautiful and trendy garments for our Plus Size Queens. We strongly believe that -
You are already beautiful, "Our mission is to make you feel that way."
We are India’s most loved brand in our segment. Our journey began from a 10X10 feet store, driven by the realization that there were very few options available to fulfill the fashion requirements of plus-size beauties. Often, they were greeted with the disheartening statement:
“INKA SIZE TOH YAHA NAHI MILEGA”
Starting from an Instagram page with an initial investment of INR 50,000, we have faced numerous challenges to enhance our skills and build a happy customer base. Today, we are a rapidly growing team of 70+ people, supported by a dedicated production team. We have a trusted customer base of 2.5 lakh women and a strong presence on all major social media platforms, with 500k followers on Instagram and 60K on Facebook.
