Skinny Dip
Located: London
What do they do?
Sell a very large range of products, from bags, phone cases, gifts, accessories beauty products etc.
Background
Theres no about page so its hard to know how the brand came to be what it is. They are very bold in what they create so possibly they allow for that to speak for itself. It took a while to find but I managed to find out about the origins of Skinny dip.
The company was formed in 2011 by Lewis Blitz, James & Richard Gold. They received a £120,000 investment when pitching their idea to Dragons Den. Currently they supply Debenhams, Next, Republic, River Island, Harvey Nichols and Tesco with a range of accessories.
They are currently looking at hiring a range of creative roles, including a graphic designers.
Their online identity is simple and understated but remains clean and consise in their information. The products are bright so the branding being simple makes sense.
Considering this is a large studio/production company the communication will be a lot more difficult.

Their origin story is what was really interesting. There wasn't a specific plan of what to do or create. As of now personally I'm experiencing this, not knowing where to go with my practice after graduating. I think it would be really eyeopening to get a one on one talk with them at some point.
