What to know about Tigerlily
Tigerlily is an Australian swim and resort label founded in Sydney in 2000 by Jodhi Meares. It builds collections around bikinis, one-pieces, kaftans, cotton and linen dresses and cover-ups, using bold placement prints, patchwork panelling, crochet and embroidery, and custom hardware. Meares sold the brand to Billabong in 2007; private equity firm Crescent Capital Partners bought it in 2017. The business entered voluntary administration in March 2020 and again in March 2024, when PKF administrators were appointed. It continues to trade online and through Australian stockists.
