Lulus Fashion Lounge Holdings Inc. has forged a strategic collaboration with Dillard’s. This marks a significant milestone in Lulus’ wholesale strategy aimed at reaching new audiences and expanding the brand’s distribution footprint across key markets.
As part of the collaboration, Lulus will bring its latest collections to more than 30 Dillard’s stores nationwide, offering a selection of special occasion and event apparel. The brand was never carried in Dillard’s previously. Lulus also plans to introduce an expanded Prom collection at Dillard’s in early 2025, further strengthening the brand’s presence in the special occasion market.
“Working with Dillard’s is a pivotal step in our broader strategy to amplify Lulus’ presence in key markets,” said Crystal Landsem, chief executive officer of Lulus. “Dillard’s is one of the nation’s largest fashion retailers and by aligning with them, we extend our brand’s reach to meet the evolving demands of our customers. This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to strategic growth and mutual success, and we are confident it will yield significant benefits for both brand as we move forward together”.”
