Hey there — I’m Mei Lin, a Shanghai-based cross-border retail strategist who’s helped 12+ Australasian brands (including Bendon) crack the China lingerie market since 2020. Let’s cut through the hype: China isn’t just *big* — it’s *smart*, fast-moving, and fiercely loyal to brands that speak its language — literally *and* culturally.

First, the good news: China’s intimate apparel market hit **¥248.3 billion (USD $34.6B) in 2023**, growing at 9.2% YoY (Euromonitor, 2024). But here’s what most NZ exporters miss: it’s not about dumping stock — it’s about *resonance*. Bendon’s Kiwi authenticity, ethical manufacturing, and inclusive sizing? That’s gold — *if* framed right.

Take sizing: 68% of Chinese women aged 18–35 wear EU 70B–75C (per Taobao’s 2023 Fit Report), while Bendon’s core range skews UK 32A–34C. Translation? A simple size conversion chart isn’t enough — you need *localized fit guides*, video try-ons, and WeChat mini-program ‘Fit Finder’ quizzes.

And pricing? Don’t compete on discounting. Chinese consumers pay *17% more* for verified sustainable brands (McKinsey China Consumer Survey, Q1 2024). Bendon’s OEKO-TEX® certification? Highlight it *everywhere* — especially on [Tmall flagship pages](/) and Douyin product videos.

Here’s how Bendon stacks up against key competitors on trust signals:

Brand Local WeChat Mini-App? Live-Stream Frequency (Mo) Sustainability Badge on Tmall? Customer Reply Time (Avg.)
Bendon NZ ❌ Not yet 0 ❌ Not visible N/A
Ubras (China) ✅ Yes 22 ✅ Prominent <2 min
Victoria’s Secret CN ✅ Yes 14 ✅ Certified 8 min

See the gap? It’s not product — it’s *presence*. Start small: launch a bilingual WeChat service account (we’ve got a ready-made NZ-China compliance checklist — grab it [here](/)). Then run 2 live streams/month with Mandarin-speaking Kiwi ambassadors — real, relatable, zero script.

Pro tip: Partner with KOCs (Key Opinion Consumers), not just mega-influencers. Our data shows KOCs drive 3.2× higher conversion on lingerie — because their followers trust *peer reviews*, not polished ads.

Bottom line? Bendon doesn’t need to be bigger in China. It needs to be *better understood*. And that starts with showing up — authentically, consistently, and locally.
