One for Kittykat perhaps. It seems that Al Shaya may be buying global lingerie retailers, La Senza...

Ooh, loving all these lingerie threads

Spugsy

Hmmm not that I know of, but they are opening up quite a few Victoria's Secret stores very soon. Mrs Spugsy is in the US as we speak sorting them all out.

All a bit confusing but here goes.

There are two La Senzas- La Senza Uk (UK only and has gone into administration) and La Senza canada (owned by Limited Group).

Alshaya are the franchise for limited group in this region. however LIWA currently has the fanchise for La Senza Canada here - confused yet?

So Al Shaya has bought over half of the LA Senza UK stores in the Uk- what they plan to do with them who knows- my understanding from people who work freelance for La Senza Uk is that all work has stopped. So it may be that they have bought the stores and may put LA Senza Canada stock or even Victorias Secret product in the stores? Anyway I'm off to a big trade show so wil get the gossip. My head hurts.

Rumours in the uk of several big fashion companies bordering on administration- some big high street names with heavy high street presecene so expect to see alot mroe changes over the next year.

Was also interesting to see how Uk sales have become much stronger online- I see big changes for the UK high street over the next year or 2 and its not good.

La Senza do in some of their ranges. I think their largest cupsize is E or F.
