INC (International Concepts)

Quick history

INC International Concepts launched in the 1980s as Macy’s in-house fashion brand, created to deliver trend-driven, city-ready style at an accessible price point. Designed to reflect nightlife, street style, and contemporary silhouettes, INC became a staple for people who wanted bold, fashionable pieces without luxury pricing. Its mix of sleek basics, statement tops, and party-ready looks helped define mall fashion for decades.
