Have you ever dreamed of diving into the glamorous world of lingerie and high-end fashion? Well, your golden ticket has arrived! The iconic Sarah Lyn Lingerie & Fashion Boutique is up for grabs, with the owner set to soon retire after a successful 25-year reign.
The new owner gets the keys to a profitable business that monopolises the mid to high-end lingerie market and holds exclusive rights to many Australian and international fashion labels. Boasting approximately 15,000 customers in its database, the business also enjoys a growing loyal clientele base.
Sarah Lyn boasts an exclusive lineup of labels like Joseph Ribkoff, Sacha Drake, and Philosophy. It retails garments from casual jeans to elegant gowns for special occasions - and everything in between, with sizes 8 to 24. The boutique is also the only non-franchised lingerie store in the Northern Territory. It has exclusive rights to Simone Perele and Prima Donna and specialises in women with larger busts. Its range includes every day, maternity, sports, wire-free and designer with sizes up to a 'M' cup. It's the one-stop shop for discerning fashion lovers across Australia!
Situated in tropical Darwin - the vibrant and thriving gateway to Asia - Sarah Lyn shines with its prime location. The new owner would enjoy the relaxed and vibrant lifestyle, multiculturalism, fantastic restaurants, outdoor markets and the city's proximity to unique natural wonders and wildlife. They could capitalise on the business resulting from tourism, particularly cruise ships as it is a stopover for many to SE Asia, the Outback and the rest of Australia. Darwin is home to one of the country's largest military bases, and mining and industry FIFOs also often use it as a base for themselves and their families.
The boutique has a stylish, elegant fit-out, spacious premises, and a well-established online and community presence. Not to mention - a seamless handover process, introductions to VIP customers and industry contacts, and buying trips - are all part of the package. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - if there was ever the time to make a stylish splash in the glamourous world of lingerie and fashion - it's now!
