Vancouver, BC, Canada – Linda Hipp, the popular designer of women’s golf and active apparel, has announced that Lija will introduce three striking new collections and an expanded Basics line for Fall 2005.
Entitled "Purple Rain," "Brown Eyed Girl," and "Winter Wonderland," these collections follow-up the successful, retro-themed Spring 2005 line from Linda Hipp. All three feature the distinctive, European-inspired styling that have made Hipp’s designs a favorite of fashion-conscious golfers and non-golfers alike for the past seven years.
The 86 pieces that make up these collections include pants, capris, shorts of various lengths, skirts, skorts, polos of various sleeve lengths, sweaters, knit vests and outerwear. Prices range from $50 (USD) for some tops to $300 (USD) for select pieces of technical outerwear.
“The driving force behind these three collections was to offer an eclectic look and feel that allows women to match various pieces and create outfits that complement their own unique personalities,” says Hipp. “It’s always been very important to me to offer options for different women so that they can express themselves while looking good on-course and off.”
All of the items from these three collections and the expanded Basics line are highlighted in a striking 28-page, full-color catalog.

Here is more about each collection:
Purple Rain (32-pieces, ships June 15)
Purple, one of Fall’s primary colors, takes the stage for Lija in Fall ’05. Tonal purples in grape and plum are paired with blush and winter white to create a soft, feminine collection of sportswear. The mix of patterns & textures is apparent in this group with plaid & floral prints, quilted outerwear with sherpa lining, and stretch cord. Beautiful checked & argyle print sweaters in a cashmere blend give Purple Rain a sense of luxury and regal flair.
Technical fabrications are showcased in both lightweight knit tops and a soft “shag” fleece. Offered in fashion colors, our technical pieces are sure to spice up any wardrobe.
Brown Eyed Girl (33 pieces, ships July 15)
City girl chic with eclectic flair. Rich, beautiful colors of chocolate, air and pumpkin are thrown together to create a collection with a strong sense of home comfort and diverse sensibility.
The glen check, a classic menswear print, is offered for that playful tomboy look in both a Capri pant and Bermuda short. Stretch cord for skirts & pants and quilted sherpa outerwear give depth and texture to this group. Checks, florals, stripes and a unique ‘circle’ print give Brown Eyed Girl a real retro feel.
Technical pieces are also available in fashion colors of chocolate and air in both knit tops and our Polartec “Wind Pro” jackets and vests.
Winter Wonderland (21 pieces, ships October 15)
Whether you live along the coast of California or near the Great Lakes in Michigan, Winter Wonderland is a key color group for the winter months. Based with a rich winter white, this collection offers more earthy tones of olive, petrol and ocean accented with chartreuse, a fresh, bold citrus green.
Our stretch twill stripe print is the focal point for this collection. Hidden zippers and oversized buttons provide feminine detailing for all of our polo shirts – sleeveless to 3/4-sleeve length.
The smallest of the three groups, Winter Wonderland provides a perfect neutral collection to transition from Holiday to the Spring season.
