Here Comes The Bride at PJ Harlow®

May 2, 2022

By ELLEN LEWIS

A few weeks ago, I saw this PJ Harlow® image posted on social media and had an Ah Ha merchandising moment which I shared with owner and founder Tina McMillan. PJ Harlow® has always catered to brides. Just scroll through their Instagram and the bridal message appears. But, and it’s an important But, nowhere was there a coordinated statement of the power of the PJ Harlow® bridal products. Consider the bridal shower, the bridesmaids’ gifts, the bridal party preparations, and the bride herself.… Read More

Make a Statement ~ Poetically Correct by P.J.Harlow

April 30, 2021

By ELLEN LEWIS

My career segued to the Intimate Apparel business 30 + year ago when I was plucked out of the ready to wear division to spearhead the lingerie product development initiative at Macy’s Corporate office. I knew nothing about the category, which at the time, was dominated by polyester in pale pink and blue designs. Oblivious to the “rules” I purchased a few cotton knit big t-shirts in bold prints from Benetton, a hot 80’s RTW brand. I thought that an oversize cotton knit sleepshirt would be a key item and a way to make a statement about how innovative our Intimates business could be.… Read More

P.J. Harlow Cozy Sweats ~ A Perfect Comfort Solution

February 4, 2021

Destiny Top and Blair Pant in French Terry

I discovered the P.J. Harlow brand some years ago at Curve Las Vegas. It was right after the 2008 economic implosion and I was at the show directing a seminar on “Navigating the Storm”. Brands and stores were looking for paths to profitability in a particularly difficult market. So, it was very serendipitous that I happened upon the P.J.Harlow booth and found an assortment of supremely soft and elegant loungewear. A series of t-stands, each one harboring a different color of the same dyed to match combination of carefully edited pieces, was a dramatic statement to the merchandising credo upon which I was raised: key item intensification.… Read More

Tie Dye Renaissance – PJ Harlow Loungewear, Masks & Bra:30

October 30, 2020

What goes around, comes around. Such is the phenomenon of tie dye. Since the 1960s, every 15 years or so, tie dye garments and accessories make a popular reappearance. PJ Harlow is right on-trend with the introduction of tie dye in several of their best-selling collections, including masks. This timely styling seems to help unite us during this awful pandemic… we’re all (tied) in this together.

PJ Harlow now offers three styles of tie dye loungewear sets in 10 fabulous colors. Each set consists of the super-comfortable, 100% cotton joggers named JOJO.… Read More

P.J.Harlow Face Mask Extravaganza

May 22, 2020

by ELLEN LEWIS

I was planning to write a recap of many suppliers offering face masks options, but when I saw P.J. Harlow’s designs, I decided to zero in. There are a boatload of mask businesses debuting. Without a doubt, face masks will become an integral part of store inventories, particularly specialty operations and e-commerce. For lingerie entrepreneurs this channel is a clear win, an accessory they would be remiss not to integrate into their assortments.

In case you missed LIVE with Kelly and Ryan yesterday, where P.J.… Read More

Bra:30 ~ A Merchandising Hero Emerges

May 15, 2020

By ELLEN LEWIS

At the moment, it’s probably not particularly politic for me to use the word hero in reference to a lingerie product, but I am a merchant at heart. In conversations with stores during the past few weeks, in specific, Forever Yours Lingerie in British Columbia, the Bra:30 collection has definitely been heroic. Owner Sonya Perkin’s fabulous Instagram stories portraying just how easy and comfortable these bra tops are to wear has enabled her to pay a full month’s rent with the proceeds. What is interesting is that this product has been available at retail for six years.… Read More
