Elegant Moments

What Elegant Moments does

Elegant Moments, legally operating as Elegant Moments Wholesale, is a U.S.-based manufacturer and wholesale distributor of intimate apparel and related specialty garments founded in 1983 and headquartered in Blackey, United States. The company sells exclusively through a B2B channel: a Shopify-powered wholesale portal (b2b.elegantmoments.com) that requires account registration and login, supplemented by a sales-representative network, a drop-shipping program for qualified partners, and a Shopify Products CSV feed that allows third-party merchants to import its catalog. Product breadth spans nine core categories — Lingerie, Leather, Vinyl, Costume, Hosiery, Vivace (a sub-brand), Swimwear, Menswear, and Plus Size — with a Clearance section featuring items at 50% off or more. End consumers reach the products indirectly via a "Where To Buy" retail locator and the drop-ship fulfillment pathway.

The company operates with 11-50 employees and is privately held, with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or external funding. Its ownership rests with co-founders Shashendri Samaraweera and Rita Walters. The technology stack is conventional e-commerce: a Shopify-based storefront with no public-facing pricing, no consumer checkout, and no mobile application. There is no evidence of proprietary technology, AI/ML capability, patents, certifications, regulatory actions, or partnerships beyond the Shopify platform integration.

Revenue is generated through one-time wholesale purchase orders from retail buyers stocking intimate apparel, costumes, and accessories. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is gated behind wholesale login. The company has no disclosed revenue, ARR, or transaction volume data, and has not raised external funding or engaged in M&A activity. Its distribution model — combining self-serve wholesale, field sales reps, drop-shipping, and a CSV-based reseller feed — is designed for a long-tail of small and mid-market specialty retailers rather than concentrated enterprise accounts.
