The Countdown to Fabulous is over… and we are pleased to announce the site launch of eloquii by The Limited, a new plus size apparel and accessory range that puts fashion first.

The much anticipated collection is delivered to you with design, copy and development by Pod1, and produced on the Demandware platform.

> The two-step Shape My Style tool produces a collection suited to a shopper’s shape. No apples or pears here!

> The clean design lets the fashion do the talking.

> While the Fashion, Fit and Fabric tabs deliver the whole story on each product, increasing purchasing confidence in an online-only brand.

> And last but not least, a super-clean and simple checkout experience.

Movember – It’s here!

It’s that time of the year again, when men put their faces on the line to raise awareness of how cold not having a beard is at this time of year.

Myself and Mr Chris Pendse are flying the Pod1 London Movember flag this year and have shaved off our usual facial adornments to raise money and awareness for some very good causes

We’ll be posting regular updates on how our moustaches are growing, if anyone has any requests, let us know. Not that we can promise an exact replica of your chosen style.

To donate generously to our cause, please go here

Thank you!
