The Rise and Fall of Elizabeth and James

Elizabeth and James today is often remembered as The Row's diffusion line. And though it worked in that manner to help Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen fund The Row in the beginning, it quickly grew from cash cow to star brand for them, standing alone as a successful brand. In fact, Elizabeth and James was significantly more financially successful than The Row for many years and yet quickly made its demise when the company was taken in house, away from it's licensor, and the Olsen twins attempted a rebranding of much higher quality quiet luxury pieces at an affordable price point that just failed to hit the mark. Taking a once well loved brand and removing it from it's already dedicated audience in a way that shows that retailing is seldom about what the owner wants to sell, but what the customer wants to buy. As a result, sales were abysmal, logistics were hard to recuperate and rather quickly the parent company Dualstar was forced to pull the plug ending the line for the once well-loved brand.
