The purpose of this provision is to protect the trade of our Bricks & Mortar stockists, whose overheads are much higher than those of online only retailers.

Online Trading & E-Commerce – All Customers

You may not sell on eBay, Amazon or similar website or any discount website without our express written permission.   Bricks and Mortar stockists with their own online trading/e-commerce platforms must adhere to any RRP that we set for any Luella branded garments or accessories.

All Pop Up Shops and Table Top Sellers with whom we agree to trade must obtain our express permission sell Luella in advance of advertising any event and venue where they intend to sell Luella branded garments and accessories. This is to avoid any conflict with current Bricks & Mortar stockists in commercial locations where those stockists have exclusivity.  This applies to all one-off events including, but not limited to, Christmas markets, other seasonal fairs and sporting events, including horse trials.

Bricks & Mortar Retailers – Moving Premises

Where your trading address changes, and you wish to continue to sell Luella you must contact us before you move to ensure we can still supply you at your new premises.  Please note we cannot guarantee that we will continue to trade with you if we have an existing customer in the area into which you will be moving.
