Tigerlily undergoes image makeover
Homegrown resort brand Tigerlily stunned the Australia fashpack last month after wiping its entire social media presence clean and confirming it is moving in a new direction.
Founded in 2000 by James Packer's ex-wife Jodhi Meares,Tigerlily is best known for its barely-there bikinis. Meares sold the business in 2007 for a reported $6 million.
Last week Tigerlily unveiled its new look,including a fresh logo,but not all fans of the brand were pleased with the changes."Oh my GOD they deleted EVERYTHING! They have ruined an amazing brand. You’d want to hope their staff know what theyre[sic] doing,"a customer wrote on Facebook.
However,Tigerlily boss Chris Buchanan says the changes he's been making over the last year have paid off in increased sales."We are confident in the changes,as we have been quietly updating our product assortment,pricing and fabrications over the past the 12 months,"he said."In the last financial year our clothing sales were up 12% on like-for-like basis,and this year our dresses are up a further 32%. On this basis,we know the changes are resonating with our customers".
