About

Founded in 1976 and headquartered in Croydon, UK, Long Tall Sally Ltd. focuses on the design and retail of tall women's clothing.


In August 2016, Tristyle Mode GmbH, a portfolio company of Equistone Partners Europe, acquired Long Tall Sally for GBP 30 million from Amery Capital. The acquisition aimed to enhance Tristyle's position as a women's omnichannel fashion retailer. Long Tall Sally (LTS) specializes in the design and retail of tall women's clothing, offering a comprehensive range of apparel including dresses, tops, bottoms, swimwear, and outerwear. The company’s core product offerings cater to the unique needs of tall women, with sizes ranging from 8 to 28 and leg lengths extending from 32 to 38 inches.


LTS's products are available in various markets including the United Kingdom, United States, and several European countries, addressing the common challenges faced by tall women in fashion. Long Tall Sally generated revenue through direct-to-consumer sales via its e-commerce platform. For the fiscal year 2021, the company's revenue was GBP 0 and it achieved an EBITDA of GBP 12,647. 20 in 2022.


Customers can easily browse and purchase products based on size, color, and category, which facilitates clear purchasing decisions. Long Tall Sally plans to leverage the recent acquisition by Tristyle Mode GmbH to broaden its product offerings and strengthen its market presence. The company is focusing on designing new products aimed at enhancing its apparel range specifically for tall women. Long Tall Sally aims to expand into new markets, particularly in Europe and North America by 2025.


The GBP 30 million acquired will be utilized to support these growth initiatives, reinforcing its strategy as a leading omnichannel fashion retailer.
