Ellery Goes into Liquidation in Australia

Ellery has filed for liquidation in Australia, with Kym Ellery announcing that she would be closing the branch of her Ellery stores. According to the Australian Financial Review, 95% of the brand’s customers live outside of the country, and the price of manufacturing products has become too high.

In a statement, Ellery said: “As a result of some poor strategic decisions that were made, and the high cost of manufacturing in Australia, we have been left with no choice but to close Elleryland, our production facility and Australian operations company”. Ellery is now finalising the appointment of a new global distributor for Europe.
