Order spring/summer 2008 – increase by 158 per cent

Odd Molly is a Swedish company which designs, markets and sells fashion for women to external retailers around the world. Order deadline for spring and summer 2008 was this week and Odd Molly has received binding orders for the first six months 2008 for approximately MSEK 125 compared to MSEK 48.5 for the first six months 2007. This is an increase with 158 per cent compared to the same period 2007.

Odd Molly is growing on both established as well as new markets. The increase in sales is further an effect from both higher average orders and increased number of retailers.

The strongest growth and the highest volumes are reported from Sweden, Norway and Denmark. We are very proud that the two very important fashion countries Great Britain and Italy have more than doubled their order volumes for the first six months 2008.

USA increased the order volumes more than 60 per cent for spring and summer 2008. Odd Molly has opened an administrative office and a subsidiary in USA during summer 2007 to manage all sales in USA.

After order deadline Odd Molly only produces the quantity of each article that has been ordered. Due to this business model almost no inventory is built up and inventory risk is minimized.
