A new kind of retail…. The Shortcut to Chic.
Piperlime is a new kind of retail offering a unique alternative to today’s department stores, specialty stores and online retailers. Targeting the busy, fashion-involved 25-35 year old, who we refer to as “The Passionista”, Piperlime offers the brands and breadth of a department store, simplified with inspiring shortcuts from a like-minded editor. Our retail store offers an edited point of view selecting from the extensive range of products we carry on line, with the specific location and customer in mind.
What makes Piperlime unique……
Our “Shortcuts”
- In a world where we know her shopping choices are endless, Piperlime helps her get right to the good stuff. Our specially curated sections to shop like “Girl on a Budget” or “Girl at The Office” and “Celebrity Guest Editor Picks” are like the go-to pages of her favorite fashion magazines, offering a point of view on the best of the best.
Our “Magic Mix”
- We carry hundreds of brands, from the iconic and well known, to the undiscovered ones we think she’ll want to know.
- Our styles are hand-picked across a range of prices from investment pieces to many great finds under $50, offering customers a unique mix of high and low.
The Piperlime “Twist”
- We believe in having a little fun in everything we do, and in not taking ourselves or fashion too seriously. From our styling point of view, to our propping and packaging, Piperlime always aims to surprise and delight.
