Bengaluru: The most awaited fashion event in the country, Myntra’s End of Reason Sale (EORS) is set to go live on December 20. Shoppers can look forward to choosing from 9 lakh styles, presented by over 3000 brands while shopping in the biggest edition of the fashion bonanza to date.

The biggest-ever edition of the mega fashion event is also set to witness a massive uptick in demand, at 4X over BAU and 1.5X over the last winter edition, with close 50% of the contribution coming from tier 2-3 markets.
The fashion major is also set to bring a smile to 40 million faces, as it brings the ‘biggest’ of everything – brands, collections, offers, and more. Myntra also expects 65% higher traffic to the platform during the event, compared to last year, owing to higher adoption of fashion through e-commerce and Myntra’s superlative value proposition.
