Uplift Intimate Apparel, located in Carmel City Center, was one of over 300 nominees for the 2020 Best Retail Award by Intima Magazine, the global premiere industry magazine. The award ceremony will be a virtual event on Sunday, Aug. 2.
This unique recognition is given to the best performing lingerie specialty stores in North America under a variety of categories. Judging of the finalists is done by a professional jury composed of both domestic and international famous lingerie brands.
The Best of Intima Awards recognizes the achievements of independent lingerie retailers from the United States and Canada, honoring best practices within the intimate apparel, beachwear and loungewear retail industry. Shops are nominated for a variety of reasons, such as product knowledge, fitting expertise, customer service, and unique sales abilities.
“To be nominated is a tremendous honor for anyone; and, to be recognized as a finalist is an exciting and humbling nod to our creativity and commitment to the industry,” Owner Carla Mackie said.
Working in the intimate apparel industry for more than 15 years, Mackie says she has loved these past three years being a business owner.
“Uplift Intimate Apparel is the melding of all I’ve learned in the industry,” Mackie said. “It is the vehicle that allows me to serve women (and men) in a meaningful way.”
This recognition puts Uplift and Carmel on the world intimate apparel map. Globally recognized practices and products are available to woman right here in their local area as well as online at UpliftIntimateApparel.Square.Site.
