Lindex downsizes...

So it turns out, Lindex' new collection, Affordable Luxury, designed by Ewa Larsson, has gotten some criticism due to the fact that it is only sold in the sizes S and M (Swedish sizes 36-42).

PR expert Paul Ronge thinks it is discriminating, (web TV from Aftonbladet.se, unfortunately only in Swedish). Lindex claims it is a limited collection, and that 36-42 sizes are the sizes that are mostly sold in their stores. Lindex have written an explanation (in Swedish) here.

I agree with Ronge, it is discriminating. Thumbs down for Lindex.

Lindex goes SM?

Lindex is one of the biggest fashion retailers in Sweden. They recently announced that they will be selling some of their clothes on Tradera (Swedish eBay). The winner of the auction will get a code that they will use in Lindex' web shop to purchase the clothing item. A good idea to drive more traffic to their site perhaps? Way to go Lindex! Check out the Lindex Tradera store to see what items are up for grabs.

Lindex have quite recently started exploring social media. On May 4th they started a Twitter account, with news from their stores and from their web shop, but, they only have 359 followers! Even I have more followers than that, and I wonder why? But maybe it's just the fact that Twitter hasn't had quite the impact in Sweden as it has had internationally yet...

Lindex are also present on YouTube (20 followers) and on Facebook, (4360 fans) and you can easily follow from Lindex' web site.

Cute dresses are always appreciated, and Lindex did recently come out with a very nice collection of party outfits. What is not equally appreciated is that the dresses can only be bought up to Swedish size 42. Not nice, Lindex! Why not make the dresses up to size 44, or even size 46?!?
