First we created the Mini Fashion Bar. It's just like a regular hotel minibar, but with women clothes. Completely integrated in your hotel room, offering complete outfits to women when they like to shop the most: on vacation. How it works? Just pick an item or a complete outfit from the Mini Bar and pay when checking out. Just like a regular minibar. Not the right size? Call the concierge.

During the European fashion weeks we installed the Pimkie Mini Fashion Bar in over 100 rooms of boutique hotels in fashion cities like Paris, Milan, Amsterdan and Antwerp. Then we invited influential women, fashion bloggers and journalists, to stay in one of these hotels. We didn't push it more than that.

Never before Pimkie received such a high and positive coverage by influential women, fashion bloggers and fashion journalists. 100% of the Top50 of the most important fashion blogs wrote and shared their view on the Mini Fashion Bar. On top of that 81% of women bought one or more items from the Mini Fashion Bar. And as to the hotels, all of them want to keep the Mini Fashion Bar on a continuous basis, making it a new distribution channel for Pimkie. To top it all, the perception of Pimkie being a fashionable brand clearly increased in qualitative research.
