Dive into the glam world of fashion & lingerie? It's all yours for the taking!

Clothing/Accessories | Business for Sale | Darwin

***RARE OPPORTUNITY***

An extremely rare opportunity is being offered to enter the glamorous world of high-end fashion and lingerie. After nearly three decades of successful ownership and growth by Vivienne Lee, she’s ready to hand over her keys and trade secrets so she can enjoy a well-earned retirement.

So, are you ready to steer this beloved store into its next chapter? Sarah Lyn started as a small lingerie store owned by the first NT Chief Minister’s wife almost fifty years ago and has grown into the only non-franchised lingerie boutique and a highly respected cornerstone of the city’s retail fashion scene. It’s the go to destination for lingerie lovers and fashionistas across Australia!

Sarah Lyn boasts an exclusive lineup of Australian and international labels and sells garments from casual jeans to elegant gowns for special occasions, with sizes 8 to 24. The boutique is also the only non-franchised lingerie store in the Northern Territory and specialises in women with larger busts (sizes up to a ‘M’ cup) and surgical bras. Popular labels include Joseph Ribkofff, Sacha Drake, Jesse Harper for fashion and Simone Perele, Prima Donna and Chantelle for lingerie. It’s the one-stop shop for discerning fashion lovers across Australia!

Situated in tropical Darwin - the vibrant and thriving gateway to Asia - Sarah Lyn shines with its prime location. The new owner would enjoy the relaxed and vibrant lifestyle, multiculturalism, fantastic restaurants, outdoor markets and the city's proximity to unique natural wonders and wildlife. They could capitalise on the business resulting from tourism, particularly cruise ships as it is a stopover for many to SE Asia, the Outback and the rest of Australia. Darwin is home to one of the country's largest military bases, and mining and industry FIFOs also often use it as a base for themselves and their families.

The boutique has a stylish, elegant fit-out, spacious premises, and a well-established online and community presence. Not to mention - a seamless handover process, introductions to VIP customers and industry contacts, and buying trips - are all part of the package. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - if there was ever the time to make a stylish splash in the glamourous world of lingerie and fashion - it’s now!
