A Tall Australian Woman Just Got Stopped at Heathrow

Somewhere out there is a tall Canadian woman named Kelsie. She does not know we are looking for her yet. But she is already one of us.
Here is what happened.
Our customer Kate is 184cm and has been wearing Miss G & Me for years. She and her husband had just landed at Heathrow when a tall Canadian woman crossed the arrivals hall and approached her.
Kate told us:
"She had been debating with her boyfriend whether to approach me or not and finally decided to talk to me. I had noticed her also; as all tall girls do when we come across each other."
She asked Kate where she bought her pants.
They stood there at baggage claim, two tall women who had never met, and had the conversation. You know the one. Length. Proportions. Clothes that were never actually made for a body like yours.
And imagine finding garments you CHOOSE to long haul in.. GOLD.

Now here is the part that makes us smile.
The pants that stopped Kelsie in her tracks? The Alva. Our shortest design. Ankle finish. The one we made for tall women who want a clean slim leg that sits exactly where it should.
On Kate at 184cm, it does exactly that.
Kelsie stopped a stranger at Heathrow, ironically, over our shortest pant. Somewhere out there she is about to discover the rest of the range - the full length stuff is going to blow her mind!
We would very much like to be there when that happens.
Operation Find Tall Candian Kelsie
Her name is Kelsie. She is Canadian. She is tall. And somewhere in your network is someone who knows her.
This is where six degrees of separation comes in. The theory is simple - you are never more than six connections away from anyone in the world.
Let us do the maths for a moment.
Canada has around 20 million women. Roughly 15% are 5'9" or taller. That is about 3 million tall Canadian women. Kelsie is not a common name - let us be generous and say one in a thousand. That gives us somewhere in the ballpark of 3,000 tall Canadian Kelsies.
Canada has 40 million people. Six degrees of separation says you are never more than six connections away from any one of them.
I know Sally McKinnon, Melbourne's leading tall personal stylist. Sally knows Trinny Woodall in the UK. That is already two steps, and who knows where Trinny could take us.
You probably know a Kelsie. But do you know this Kelsie? Someone does.
Tag her. Share this. Forward it to your tall Canadian friends, your tall Kelsie friend, your tall anyone friends.
Tall Candian Kelsie is out there. Let's find her.
Every tall woman remembers the moment she found clothes that actually fitted. We would like Kelsie to have hers.
