The company's lingerie segment -- including garments such as contouring Shape Pants and the T-shirt Bra -- accounts for more than 70% of sales. Wacoal has stretched its undergarment business to China and Southeast Asia, France, and the US (where products are sold under the Wacoal and licensed Donna Karan labels). Primary customers include upscale department stores and specialty stores. Its Nanasai subsidiary makes displays for retailers. Wacoal intends to enter the retail market with a chain of stores it will name SPA.
