Candela’s business grew at double digit rates during the 2007-2009 recession. While footwear sales account for 60% of annual revenues, the ready-to-wear collection is growing at a faster rate. In light of this success, the company has focused on capitalizing on its target market, honing in on its clientele, expanding through its e-commerce site and plans to continue to produce high quality, affordable products for the women that loves fashion.
