LIJA has been chosen as a Provider of Official Merchandise for The OPEN Championship 2010 at St. Andrews, Scotland. LIJA will be providing a full collection of women’s products including polos, sweaters, jackets, pants, shorts and skorts branded with a logo of the OPEN Championship’s prestigious Claret Jug.
“It’s an absolute honor to have been chosen as one of an elite group of brands providing official merchandise for The OPEN Championship 2010 at such a historical site as St. Andrews. This is a huge milestone for LIJA in its 13 years of business and we look forward to an exciting week of golf and business.” – Linda Hipp, President and Principal Designer of LIJA
LIJA’s presence in the on-site shop will be sure to add a bold statement and feminine style to the product offered during the week. The Collections being presented during the event have been designed with clean silhouettes, subtle detailing and flattering color stories for the Fall 2010 season.
The trip to Scotland for Linda Hipp will, however, mark another turning point for LIJA as plans are in place to make a very exciting announcement about LIJA’s future direction. “Recently, we’ve been very retrospective about why we have had the success we have to date and as we move forward to the next stage, we want to focus once again on what we do best: lead the direction of fashion for women in sport. We are making some important changes and look forward to sharing our announcement at St. Andrews,” says Linda Hipp.
