Luxury beauty in India has a new name—Luxe by Kan. This premium e-commerce platform is redefining beauty retail by bringing rare, high-end international brands directly to Indian consumers. Founded in 2021 by Kanika Durga, Luxe by Kan stands as India’s only exclusive luxury beauty marketplace, setting itself apart from platforms that mix drugstores and high-end products.
Kanika, a law graduate from Queen Mary University of London, discovered the gap in India’s beauty market while experiencing global beauty trends in the UK. Luxe by Kan was born out of her vision to make exclusive beauty accessible to Indian shoppers. Today, it is the go-to destination for beauty enthusiasts seeking the finest international and homegrown luxury brands.
Bringing Global Beauty Home
Luxe by Kan has introduced brands that were previously unavailable in India. Through direct partnerships with international names like Glow Recipe, Rhode Skin, Stanley, and Gymshark, customers now have access to authentic, hard-to-find beauty products. The brand’s just-in-time sourcing model ensures fresh stock while minimizing excess inventory, making it a trusted marketplace for high-end beauty.
Luxe by Kan is also expanding into luxury homegrown brands. Select Indian brands that meet the platform’s high standards of quality and exclusivity now have a premium space to connect with discerning beauty lovers.
An Exclusive Shopping Experience
Shopping at Luxe by Kan is more than a transaction; it’s an experience. Personalized recommendations, premium packaging, and VIP customer service make every purchase special. Exclusive, limited-edition product drops and seasonal gift boxes further elevate the luxury experience.
To reward its loyal customers, the brand recently launched Kan Rewards, a membership program offering premium perks, early access to launches, and exclusive benefits.
Beyond Beauty: Entering the Luxury Fashion Space
While Luxe by Kan is renowned for curating the finest in luxury beauty, our vision has always been larger than just cosmetics. Two years ago, we expanded into the apparel and footwear industry, bringing globally coveted fashion brands like Simmi Shoes, Public Desire, Gymshark, and House of CB to India. Our aim was to cater to a clientele that seeks exclusivity not just in beauty but in fashion as well” , says Founder & CEO Kanika Durga. Luxe by Kan is more than a beauty marketplace—it’s a luxury lifestyle ecosystem that continues to redefine premium shopping in India.
Milestones & Expansion
Luxe by Kan has already made waves in the industry with:
- Exclusive pop-up showcases, such as the OAT by BPB Magazine event in Mumbai.
- Partnering with prestigious global brands to ensure authenticity.
- Introducing Indian luxury beauty brands to a high-end audience.
Looking ahead, Luxe by Kan plans to onboard more international names, host more immersive beauty pop-ups, and introduce tailored beauty services for high-net-worth clientele.
Shaping India’s Luxury Beauty Future
The demand for niche and premium beauty is rising in India. Luxe by Kan is at the forefront of this shift, providing a trusted platform for rare, exclusive, and high-quality beauty products. As it continues to expand, the brand remains committed to redefining luxury beauty retail in India.
