LIJA by Linda Hipp Introduces Three New Collections for Fall 2006

Majestic Color & Sophistication with Vintage Flair from Market Leader

(26rd January 2006) (Vancouver, BC, Canada) – Popular golf and leisurewear designer Linda Hipp announces the introduction of three striking collections for Fall 2006 by her company, LIJA.

Inspired by majestic color, vintage style and sophistication, these collections – entitled City Luxe, Nouveau Riche and Caravalle – consist of 109 pieces complementing both a leisure and performance lifestyle. They showcase innovative textures, superior styling, unique prints and functional fabrics such as bengaline, cashmere, houndstooth, tweed and variegated corduroy.

The collections, retailing from $55 for some tops to $230 for select outerwear, are highlighted in a 32-page catalog that is currently available for retailers upon request.

“These three distinct collections are an extension of the European-inspired, fashion-forward philosophy that have helped us become a market leader,” says Hipp. “With the vintage-freshness of City Luxe, the sumptuous sophistication of Nouveau Riche and the holiday inspiration of Caravalle, there’s something for everyone.”

A trend-setter and market leader for nine years, LIJA was recently recognized as the “2005 Canadian Golf Company of the Year” by Score Golf magazine.

LIJA is a staple in finer golf and non-golf retailers across North America, including select Nordstrom stores and world-renowned resorts like Pebble Beach, Doral, Kiawah Island and Kapalua. The company’s elegant yet sporty designs are worn in competition by fashionable LPGA Tour star Jill McGill and scores of professionals worldwide.
