Operates Princess Polly and Petal & Pup in women's fashion, alongside Culture Kings and mnml in streetwear. The brands offer trend-forward, exclusive assortments for Gen Z and millennial consumers who find fashion through social media and shop primarily online.

Shared retail capabilities support digital marketing, data-led merchandising, frequent product refreshes, and an omnichannel experience, while each brand retains a separate customer identity. The platform uses a test, repeat & clear model to respond to demand.

Operations depend on executing the multi-brand model and on demand in the markets served by individual brands. Trade-policy uncertainty and tariff effects have been cited as impairment-testing triggers.
