The Strandbags Group is one of Australia’s largest and most successful specialty retailers. Privately owned, the group operates over 350 stores throughout Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, and most recently South Africa where the first store opened in late 2007 with more openings planned for 2008.

Strandbags stores retail Handbags, Small Leathergoods, Travelgoods, Business Cases and Backpacks and carry both internationally renowned brands as well as long established and exclusive private label ranges.

The group also owns the ‘Equip’ chain of stores retailing Fashion Jewellery and other Fashion Accessories. There are currently 80 of these stores. Further information is available at www.equipyourself.com.au.

The Group has grown dramatically over the years through a mixture of acquisition and geographic expansion and will continue to capitalize on all opportunities to grow market share both domestically and internationally.
