“We continue to adapt our collections to respond to demand from our retail partners and customers alike whilst driving our existing collaborations with talent.,” Little Mistress CEO and founder, Mark Ashton said.
He added that the brand can offer “big retailers’ exclusive colours and styles at sharper prices which has proved increasingly important throughout the cost-of-living crisis.”
This also comes as Little Mistress considers the partnership to be a key retail move, with the brand “having a strong presence of fashion product,” seeing it “reach a new demographic.”
“Sainsbury’s is one of the UK’s most loved and trusted retailers which has developed a respected reputation in the fashion market with its Tu brand.
