INDOCHINO Achieves All-Time Record Sales Month and Initiates Retail Expansion Plan

Square One Showroom in Mississauga Represents INDOCHINO's First Mall Format as Made to Measure Menswear Leader Achieves Biggest Sales Month Ever and Stamps 67% Growth Year-to-Date


VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - June 07, 2016) - INDOCHINO, the world's largest made to measure men's apparel company, has achieved outstanding year-to-date growth of 67% and announced May as its biggest sales month ever. To continue the growth trajectory, the company initiated its retail expansion plans in June by opening a showroom in Mississauga's Square One.

"We set out to see if we could surpass the incredible Black Friday sales we achieved in November 2015, in May 2016, and we did it," said INDOCHINO's Chief Executive Officer, Drew Green. "We achieved these results without the addition of new stores or any major e-commerce enhancements, both of which are investments that we will announce throughout the second half of 2016. As an early indication of what retail expansion can do to our growth, omnichannel sales are up an incredible 171% year over year in the first week of June."

Drew Green continued: "We are over 10% ahead of plan year to date across our showrooms, and are well on our way to achieving our 2016 100% year over year growth plan, which will be powered by our commitment to showroom expansion, especially given the impact our showrooms have on our online sales."

Growth Performance Highlights

  • May 2016 omni-channel sales posted an all time company record surpassing November 2015 Black Friday results and increasing 21% compared to April 2016
  • INDOCHINO's omni-channel year-to-date sales through May 31, 2016, have increased 67% year over year compared to the first 5 months of 2015. In the same period:
  • E-commerce sales have increased 58% y/y
  • Retail sales have increased 80% y/y
  • INDOCHINO has acquired 20,000 new customers, up 72% y/y
  • INDOCHINO's repeat purchase rate has grown by 79% y/y

Retail Expansion

INDOCHINO opened its eighth showroom in Mississauga's Square One Shopping Centre on June 1. Square One is the first of several locations planned for 2016 and INDOCHINO's second showroom in the Greater Toronto Area.

"The team's hard work, focus and collaborative approach to daily efforts is paying off. We're one of the fastest growing apparel brands in the world and, given our plans for expansion, the best is yet to come," said INDOCHINO's Chief Executive Officer, Drew Green. "With retail sales representing 46% of the business approximately 21 months after we first entered the category in 2014, our continued retail expansion will play a crucial role in fuelling our exponential growth, both online and overall."

Earlier this year, Square One opened its highly anticipated luxury wing. INDOCHINO joins aspirational fashion retailers, including Holt Renfrew, Harry Rosen, Kate Spade New York, and Ben Sherman. Located in a 2,900 square foot space in Square One Shopping Centre, the showroom is set to redefine the way men in the city shop by enabling them to get perfectly fitting, personalized clothing made just for them.

The showroom promises an exclusive shopping experience without the high price tag. Customers are paired with a Style Guide who helps them to design their own one-of-a-kind suit or shirt. Style Guides take measurements, assist with fabric selection, and walk shoppers through endless custom options, including buttons, vents, pockets, lapels and monograms. Each garment is made to order and delivered within four weeks.
