Privately owned Ariela & Associates International has agreed to buy Parade, the VC-backed intimates startup that created "the internet's favorite underwear," CNBC has learned. "Consolidation is the big opportunity, especially for big, traditional brands to acquire more digitally savvy upstarts. It quickly became a favorite among Gen Z consumers eager for comfortable and affordable underwear that fit their body style and personal values. As part of Ariela, Parade will now be able to tap on the firm's manufacturing muscle to scale up and become more of a mass-market brand, said Jessica Ramirez, a senior analyst with Jane Hali and Associates. I think Parade hasn't as much … this would make sense to propel it on a larger level."
