If a recently filed lawsuit by their supplier Providence Industries is to be believed, LuLaRoe’s owners are sitting on hundreds of millions of dollars.

MyDyer and other suppliers are owed tens of millions, which Mark Stidham has told them he has no intention of paying.

LuLaRoe is a Californian MLM company headed up by husband and wife co-founders, Mark and DeAnne Stidham (right). Mark Stidham is also LuLaRoe’s CEO.

Providence Industries (dba MyDyer) allege that as per an agreement entered into in April 2016, MyDyer fulfilled LuLaRoe orders with payment due via invoice within seven days.

As of November 26th, the date the lawsuit was filed, MyDyer alleges LuLaRoe owes

$33 million in unpaid invoices (some now overdue by seven months)

$8 million for cancelled product orders that were requested to be destroyed following backlash over changes to LuLaRoe’s returns policy (negotiated down from $11 million)

$4.8 million for the storage of “fabric products”, sourced at LuLaRoe’s request “many months ago”

an additional $383,124 in storage fees for product LuLaRoe requested MyDyer store for them (storage costs are overdue and accumulating interest)

$460,762 in licensing fees

$1,322,685 in trim costs

Additional debts of $1 million owed to UPS and $3.1 million owed to third-party suppliers are also detailed.

A Minimum Purchase Commitment between LuLaRoe and MyDyer requires the former to provide a semi-annual written report.

The report is to verify LuLaRoe’s adherence to the commitment over the past six months.

MyDyer allege LuLaRoe has failed to provide them with any reports, and has done so because

since August 2018, LuLaRoe has been ordering substantial products from other suppliers.

Specific suppliers named are Creative Apparel LLC ($3.2 million), Mad Engine LLC ($2.4 million), RSGA Incorporated dba InnovAsia ($18.4 million) and Zam Brand Inc. ($5.3 million).

MyDyer allege that in November 2018 alone, LuLaRoe ordered over $10 million from their new suppliers.

MyDyer believes that LuLaRoe are seeking to hide from (them) information regarding LuLaRoe’s purchases from other suppliers by refusing to provide the semi-annual reports or otherwise make its books and records available to MyDyer.

Additionally, MyDyer has serious concerns that LuLaRoe are diverting to third parties (including to other suppliers) the funds that they owe to MyDyer.

MyDyer believes one reason LuLaRoe might be “unable or unwilling” to pay them is “mounting financial difficulties”.

Specifically, in approximately April 2017, LuLaRoe’s business suddenly took a turn for the worse when they changed their policy for paying bonuses to their “independent fashion consultants”.

Among other things, LuLaRoe ceased paying bonus checks to its consultants based upon the number of products ultimately sold to the consumer.

As a consequence of the bonus policy change, MyDyer has recently been informed that by August 2017, LuLaRoe’s monthly revenues dropped in half from approximately
