Style Baazar private labels reach 61% of H1 FY27 sales mix

Baazar Style Retail Limited, which operates as Style Baazar, reported that private labels made up 61% of sales in H1 FY27, versus 59% in H1 FY26. The higher mix followed private-label sales rising from Rs 136.3 crore in FY22 to Rs 977 crore in FY26, with 11 labels spanning apparel and home.

How fast did Style Baazar's private-label sales grow?

Style Baazar's private-label sales rose by Rs 840.7 crore between FY22 and FY26, increasing from Rs 136.3 crore to Rs 977 crore. The private-label share of total sales increased in every reported financial year, moving from 25% in FY22 to 53% in FY26, a 28-percentage-point change over the period.

The largest year-on-year increase in the series came in FY26, when private-label sales rose Rs 374.4 crore from Rs 602.6 crore in FY25. The mix increased by 8 percentage points in the same year, from 45% to 53%, compared with increases of 6 or 7 percentage points in each of FY23, FY24 and FY25.

Style Baazar says private-label sales grew about 64% annually from FY22 to FY26. That disclosed growth rate refers to the sales progression from Rs 136.3 crore to Rs 977 crore, while the move from 25% to 53% shows that in-house labels also occupied a larger share of the company's merchandise sales.

Which private labels does Style Baazar sell?

Style Baazar says it has 11 private labels across apparel and home categories. The labels displayed in its presentation include Square Up, Kirtle, Walsey, corenerzy, Miss10, Aaroway, Miss Dress, dozo, Miss12 and Home Focus, with Square Up identified with casual wear and Aaroway presented under ethnic wear.

Square Up was Style Baazar's largest disclosed private label in FY26, recording sales of Rs 406.3 crore. The company said this was about 22% of total FY26 sales, making Square Up the only individual in-house label for which the presentation provides both a rupee sales figure and a company-sales share.

The disclosed scale of Square Up equalled about 42% of Style Baazar's Rs 977 crore private-label sales in FY26. The presentation does not provide sales for Kirtle, Walsey, corenerzy, Miss10, Aaroway, Miss Dress, dozo, Miss12 or Home Focus, so the contribution of the remaining labels cannot be quantified from the disclosed material.

How does Style Baazar's private-label portfolio fit its merchandise range?

Style Baazar's largest FY26 merchandise segment was men, with sales of Rs 646.1 crore and a 35% share of sales. Women generated Rs 477.6 crore, or 26%, and kids generated Rs 464 crore, or 25%, meaning the three reported apparel segments together accounted for 86% of FY26 sales.

General merchandise contributed Rs 252.8 crore, representing the remaining 14% of FY26 sales. Its listed products include home décor, kitchenware, bedsheets, bags, footwear, toys and beauty, while Home Focus appears in Style Baazar's private-label portfolio, linking the in-house range to the home-related part of the general-merchandise offer.

Men's sales exceeded general-merchandise sales by Rs 393.3 crore in FY26, showing the difference in reported scale between the largest and smallest merchandise segments. Style Baazar does not disclose private-label sales separately for men, women, kids or general merchandise, so it does not identify which segment generated the Rs 977 crore of private-label sales in FY26.

The product lists cover shirts, T-shirts, jeans, trousers, ethnic wear and activewear for men; tops, bottoms, ethnic wear, dresses and nightwear for women; and casual, ethnic and nightwear for kids. This range provides the category context for the 11-label portfolio, but the presentation does not assign each label to a reported sales segment beyond the cited casual-wear and ethnic-wear descriptions.

What changed in Style Baazar's H1 FY27 private-label mix?

Style Baazar's private-label share rose to 61% in H1 FY27 from 59% in H1 FY26, an increase of 2 percentage points. The H1 FY27 result was also 8 percentage points above the 53% share reported for FY26, although the half-year and full-year figures cover different reporting periods.

The company does not disclose a rupee value for private-label sales in H1 FY27. It reported revenue from operations of Rs 964.9 crore for the half year, up 6.1% from Rs 909 crore in H1 FY26, but the 61% private-label figure should not be converted into a reported rupee sales amount because the presentation gives only the mix.

Style Baazar reported gross profit of Rs 305.2 crore in H1 FY27, compared with Rs 297.1 crore in H1 FY26. Gross margin declined to 31.6% from 32.7%, a 1-percentage-point fall, while the private-label mix rose by 2 percentage points; the presentation reports both movements but does not attribute the margin change to the higher private-label share.

The H1 FY27 mix was the highest percentage in the disclosed sequence, following 25% in FY22, 31% in FY23, 38% in FY24, 45% in FY25 and 53% in FY26. The sequence establishes a rising historical mix, but Style Baazar does not state a FY27 private-label mix target in the supplied presentation.

Conclusion

Style Baazar's disclosed figures indicate that private labels have become a central part of its merchandise model, rising from 25% of sales in FY22 to 53% in FY26 and then 61% in H1 FY27. Square Up's Rs 406.3 crore of FY26 sales also shows the scale reached by the largest individual label within the Rs 977 crore portfolio.

The next result to watch is whether the 61% H1 FY27 mix is sustained through the full year alongside revenue and gross-margin movements. The presentation leaves two material items unresolved: it does not disclose H1 FY27 private-label sales in rupees and it does not provide a private-label sales split across men, women, kids and general merchandise.
