About Candyskin
Candyskin approaches lingerie from the angle of everyday comfort rather than one big occasion. Richa Kalra founded the Mumbai brand in 2016, building a range of intimate wear, athleisure and activewear designed to fit real Indian bodies and be worn all day, not just admired. It is part of a wave of women-led intimate-wear labels that have quietly rewritten how the category is sold in India, leading with fit and honesty over airbrushed marketing.
