Australian fast-fashion jewellery and accessories retailer with a rapidly expanding global store network.
Australian fast-fashion jewellery and accessories retailer with a rapidly expanding global store network.
Earns by selling low-priced accessories in volume from its own stores, mostly in shopping malls, with franchise partners running stores in some regions such as the Middle East. Growth comes mainly from opening stores in new countries, and most of its stores are now outside Australia.
In one line: A global fast-fashion costume jewellery chain like Claire's, but faster-growing.
Moat: narrow (scale, brand, distribution). Rapid low-cost global store rollout and vertically-controlled supply chain give a speed-to-market edge.
Headquarters: Melbourne, Australia · Founded: 2010
