SPANX
SPANX is an American shapewear company founded by Sara Blakely in 2000, born from her personal frustration with traditional pantyhose. What started as a simple idea of cutting the feet off control-top pantyhose to wear under white pants has evolved into a billion-dollar lifestyle brand that revolutionized the entire shapewear industry. Blakely launched the company from her Atlanta apartment with just $5,000 in personal savings, and SPANX became profitable in its first year, generating $4 million in revenue.
Today, SPANX offers a comprehensive range of products including shapewear, activewear, denim, swimwear, intimates, and hosiery, all designed to empower women and boost confidence. The brand's mission goes beyond simply smoothing lines—it's about celebrating bodies as they are while providing comfortable, innovative solutions to everyday wardrobe challenges. With products sold in over 50 countries and a valuation of $1.2 billion, SPANX continues to redefine what modern shapewear can be.
