Lisa Blue has been born out of a love of conservation, spirituality and a respect for all people.
At no time would we ever have intended that the brand would cause offence.
The use of images of Goddess Lakshmi was not in any way a measure of calculated risk taking, simply it was a desire to celebrate different cultures and share that through our brand.''

What happened in the case of paintings we know it.

If you are angree and upset regarding that just ignore the Brand Lisa Swimwear and decide that you will never purchase Lisa swimwear its simple.
