Wide Range

Aim and Philosophy

Our philosophy is customer based and points to customers satisfaction in every aspect.
According to this philosophy the design of successful collections, the organized production process
and the professional customer service are equally important components of our proposal.
We design and produce our collections setting high standards. Quality control is significant in
every stage of the production in order to obtain an end product that meets our clients taste and will.
In conclusion, we value quality as our main principal and we aim to provide unique collections at
fair prices.

Design Department
The creative design department, whose director is Anastasia Gialama, is the heart of the company.
The inspiration and the style of every LOLA collection changes each season, however three elements
always remain stable: the high-quality of the raw materials, the proper implementation of
every design which is achieved by the trial of every sample on real bodies before it reaches production
and also the thought that clothes are manufactured to meet real women s needs.
Anastasia loves the simple lines giving emphasis on details and the high quality of fabrics for the
creation of every single piece of clothing. As she, herself says: Our style is influenced by the simplicity
and the clear lines of the Greek landscape. This and the thought that we address to women with fine
taste makes us feel more close to the simple lines of the American designers.
The company launches two main and two intermediary collections every year.
Moreover, since October 2009 the Amber Wedding Dresses collection was presented. This a
collection of bridal dresses in all-silk fabrics, fine design and affordable prices for women who want to
be natural and not excessive on their wedding day.

Raw Materials
All collections are created with fabrics made of exquisite quality.
It is always pursued that all fabrics used come from natural fibers.
Our main suppliers are from Italy and France where the company is supplied with all wool, cotton
with special finishing and printed silk fabrics. In addition, high quality plain silk and perfectly finished
cotton fabrics are bought from China.
The constant search and discovery of high quality fabrics and materials is one of the most important
areas in the company, and it is regarded as the competition advantage of LOLA S.A.
All garments are marked with special labels indicating the fabrics material.

Brief Description of Production Process

The production process consists of the following sections:

The Design Department in cooperation with the Sales and Production departments plans
systematically the designing of Industrial Guides for Garments of each season/collection within a
reasonable time well ahead the start of each of the two main periods (winter/summer).
All garments are produced with a specific and controlled method, using modern equipment in
all stages.
In this way

sizes of LOLA clothing
the timely and consistent delivery of garments to end customers
the smooth and efficient operation of the entire company are ensured.
The staff performing this work has the necessary experience and is sufficiently trained to bring off

Stores & Shops in Shops

LOLA stores are located at the most elegant market areas of Athens and other Greek cities. The
shops in shops are in the two most stylish department stores of Athens, Attica and Attica Golden.
All LOLA boutiques and shops in shops feature the companys signature store concept designed
by our team and reflect LOLAs philosophy. The architecture and interior design are sleek and
modern. The off- white lacquered wood furniture highlights the cloths and creates an elegant and
relaxing atmosphere.

Customers Service
The main aim of the company is the proper approach and customer service mainly characterized
by courtesy and professionalism.
The customer service department makes certain that our customers are well-served both during
and after the sale.
We provide service for free alterations of garments, flexibility on returning and exchanging items
and we constantly inform our customers about new collections and various offer and sale policies.

Communication with the customers

Having a large customer database, we communicate with our clientele through targeted direct
mailing, newsletters and SMS campaigns.
Each season, we publish the LOLA Style Report, a printed guide for the seasons trends.
The LOLA Style Report is created with great care by a professional team including top Greek
photographers, stylists and graphic designers. The goal is each printed image of this guide to reflect
the picture of the woman for whom we design and also to give her solutions on how she can be
elegant in a simple way.

Administrative Department
Administrative Services uphold the entire operation of the company and include the general
management, the financial department, the accounting department and the I.T. department. All
companys departments are supported by an ERP system, whose potentials are highly exploited
with the help of human resources in the corresponding department.

Exports
We consider that the mixture of our collection -an elegant and clear style, exquisite quality raw
material used, production controlled in every stage, quality end product and fair pricing will act
positively in any potential cooperation abroad.
We strongly believe that many companies may have some of these features individually, but very
few gather all of them as we do.
For that purpose we have organized an export department capable of promoting and organizing as
well as monitoring any collaboration in any foreign market.
