La Senza: Canadian chic
Article Abstract:
La Senza is a lingerie retailer trading on the UK's Alternative Investment Market. The company is part of a Canadian group which is attracted to the UK market due to high population density and a fragmented lingerie market, except for Marks and Spencer which has a large share. The company is pricing its products in the middle of the market and has a wider range with bigger stores than Knickerbox, a potential rival. The company forecasts a profit of 2.3 million pounds sterling for 1997 to 1998 but may not be able to capture a large enough stake in the market.
