Club L London snaps up fashion retailer as it continues to ramp up global growth

Club L London announced today that it has acquired fellow fashion retailer Lavish Alice in a deal that unites “two leading, legacy brands” specialising in occasionwear and elevated fashion.

The deal, which was completed for an undisclosed seven figures, marks the first acquisition of another brand for Club L London and includes the intellectual property, website, inventory, social media and customer data of Lavish Alice.

Club L London said today that the deal “strengthens” its market position and contributes towards its ongoing global expansion strategy.

Lavish Alice is expected to continue operating as a standalone brand under its new owner and co-founders and directors Lee Bloor and Matthew Newton, and will “oversee the transition” before exiting the business.

Club L London founder and chief executive Katie Randev said: “This acquisition is a strategic step in our journey to scale globally and further elevate our brand portfolio.

“Lavish Alice and Club L London share a dedication to meticulous design and attention to detail, with both brands focused on creating considered, timeless pieces.

“Bringing Lavish Alice into the Club L London Group strengthens our market presence and reinforces our position in the premium fashion space. It’s a brand I’ve always respected for its design, integrity and strong identity, and we’re excited about the opportunities ahead. We are committed to building on its legacy and taking it to the next level.”

Bloor and Newton added: “We are delighted that Lavish Alice has been acquired by Club L London.

“Over the past 18 years, we have poured our passion into building a brand synonymous with luxury, craftsmanship, and timeless design. From being stocked in world-renowned retailers to dressing A-list celebrities, Lavish Alice has been a true labour of love.

“We are proud to pass on our legacy to Club L London, a leader in the occasionwear space, and look forward to seeing the brand continue to thrive in its next chapter.”

Lavish Alice was first founded in 2013 and has been worn by celebrities including Kendall Jenner and Katy Perry as well as previously launching a capsule collection in collaboration with Lindsay Lohan.

The news comes after Club L London reported a strong year of growth with revenue up 51% year on year to £44m in 2024 and a rise in gross profit from £17.7m to £23.3m.
