Liu Jo's online stores cover Europe, the UK, Russia and the UAE — Australia isn't served. Claim a free Italian address, check out on liujo.com like a local, and we forward your Bottom Up denim, bags and occasionwear to any Australian address, with GST handled transparently at checkout.
Founded in Carpi in 1995 by Marco Marchi, Liu Jo has grown into a €489-million fashion group with 283 mono-brand stores — none of them online for Australia. Down under, the brand surfaces only through scattered resellers, so the range Australians actually see is a sliver. Buying at liujo.com means the home catalogue at euro prices: the signature Bottom Up push-up denim in every fit and current wash (much of it in lower-impact Better Denim fabrics), occasion and slip dresses, silk-touch blouses, logo-charm handbags, EU-sized shoes, plus menswear and a full kids line that simply do not reach Australian shelves. Shipping time from Europe to Australia depends on the carrier and service level you choose. Resendify declares the real value and prepares the customs documentation, and explains how Australia's A$1,000 duty threshold and 10% GST apply to your parcel before you buy.
Prioritise what never reaches Australian retail. First, the denim wall: Bottom Up — Liu Jo's push-up denim with lifting back seams — in skinny, slim, straight, flare and bootcut, with current washes and full size runs; a flare model listed at €169 in July 2026, and much of the range now cut in lower-impact Better Denim fabrics. Second, the glam wardrobe Liu Jo built its name on: occasion and slip dresses, silk-touch blouses, sharply tailored blazers — pieces that suit Australian event seasons and rarely appear at local resellers in more than one or two sizes. Third, accessories: logo-charm handbags, crossbody, shoulder and belt bags, plus shoes from espadrilles to boots in EU sizing. And because the forwarding leg to Australia is the long one, make each box count: add menswear or kids pieces (newborn to girls 8–16) and any other Italian store to the same consolidated parcel. A northern-hemisphere bonus: Italy's end-of-season sales land mid-year and mid-winter — opposite seasons, so 'last season' in Italy is often exactly what Australia is about to wear.

Liu Jo's country selector lists European countries, the UK, Russia and the UAE — an Australian address is rejected at checkout, full stop.
In Australia, Liu Jo appears only through third-party sellers and marketplaces — a thin, past-season selection where the markup is set by whoever imported it.
This season's Bottom Up washes, bag drops and the menswear and kids ranges live on liujo.com — by the time any of it reaches Australia second-hand or via resellers, the size run is gone.
Liu Jo labels womenswear in Italian sizes, and the conversion Australians need is simple: subtract 32 from the IT number to get your AU size (IT 42 → AU 10, IT 44 → AU 12), since Australian sizing tracks UK numbering. Two warnings from the fit room: Italian glam tailoring cuts close, and Bottom Up denim is deliberately snug through hip and seat — that's the point of it — so between two sizes, take the larger. Most Liu Jo denim sells by inch waist (25–33), which travels more reliably than dress sizes: order the waist you wear in premium denim at home. Shoes are EU-sized — EU 38 ≈ AU 7, EU 39 ≈ AU 8. With returns meaning a paid trip back to Italy, the highest-value minute of your order is the per-product measurement chart: lay a garment you own flat, compare the numbers, then buy once, correctly.
| IT size | AU | UK | US | Bust (approx) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 38 (XS) | 6 | 6 | 0–2 | 80 cm |
| 40 (S) | 8 | 8 | 4 | 84 cm |
| 42 (M) | 10 | 10 | 6 | 88 cm |
| 44 (L) | 12 | 12 | 8 | 92 cm |
| 46 (XL) | 14 | 14 | 10 | 96 cm |
| 48 (XXL) | 16 | 16 | 12 | 100 cm |

Here is the version most forwarders won't tell you. Australia has a high duty de minimis: if the customs value of your parcel is AUD 1,000 or less, there is no customs duty and no import processing charge (alcohol and tobacco are the exceptions). Above AUD 1,000, customs duty (often around 5% MFN on apparel, footwear, leather and cosmetics; many electronics 0–5%) plus the import processing charge are collected at the border. The EU–Australia free trade agreement is not yet in force, so standard MFN rates still apply—there is no preferential discount on EU-origin goods.
The catch is GST. Australia charges 10% GST with no tax-free threshold, so even a low-value parcel is taxed. On goods valued at AUD 1,000 or less, that 10% is collected up front at checkout by the overseas seller, the platform, or the re-deliverer/forwarder (vendor-collected, DDP-style). Above AUD 1,000, GST is paid at the border together with any customs duty and the import processing charge. And to be straight with you: shipping to your EU forwarding address means EU VAT is charged at purchase and is generally not reclaimable by a private consumer—the tourist refund scheme requires you to personally export the goods with a customs stamp, which forwarding does not provide.
We estimate your full landed cost—item + shipping + estimated duty and GST—before you ship, so you can plan with a realistic estimate. Create your free EU forwarding address and run the calculator.

Two truths most forwarding sites blur. First: your liujo.com order delivered to our Italian warehouse is a domestic Italian sale, so Italian VAT sits inside the euro price and stays there — forwarding cannot reclaim it, and the tourist tax-free stamp only exists for goods you personally carry out of the EU. Second, the Australian side is actually the tidy part: shipments valued at A$1,000 or less attract no customs duty, and the 10% GST is collected by the forwarder at checkout under ATO low-value imported goods rules — you pay it upfront with your shipping, and for consignments of A$1,000 or less tax is not normally collected again at the border. Above A$1,000, GST plus duty (clothing around 5%) are assessed at the border instead, so for big hauls it can be smarter to split shipments — we'll flag that before you commit. The real win of this route is access: a catalogue with no Australian channel, euro pricing from Liu Jo's home market, and one consolidated box instead of reseller markups.
Italian VAT is included in liujo.com prices and is not refundable via forwarding. Australia: no duty at A$1,000 or less; 10% GST always applies — collected at checkout by the forwarder/redeliverer for low-value shipments, at the border above A$1,000, where clothing duty is around 5% MFN.

Italy to Australia is the long leg, so weight discipline pays double. The good news: Liu Jo is light cargo. Bottom Up jeans run about 0.6 kg, a blouse 0.3 kg, a dress 0.4–0.5 kg, a boxed handbag 0.8–1.2 kg — a typical three-piece order sits near 1.2–1.5 kg. Couriers bill the higher of actual versus volumetric weight, so the item to watch is a padded coat or chunky knit that bills by volume. On a route this long, consolidation is not a nice-to-have, it is the whole strategy: Liu Jo delivers its parcels free-standing to your Italian address, we hold them up to 60 days, then repack several orders — Liu Jo plus any other Italian or EU stores — into one dense, AU-bound box. One international charge instead of three changes the economics of the entire haul.
| Liu Jo item | Approx. weight |
|---|---|
| Blouse / top | 0.3 kg |
| Dress | 0.4–0.5 kg |
| Bottom Up jeans | 0.6 kg |
| Blazer | 0.8 kg |
| Handbag (boxed) | 0.8–1.2 kg |
| Sandals / trainers | 0.9–1.1 kg |
| Boots | 1.5–1.8 kg |
| Padded coat | 1.2 kg actual (bills higher by volume) |

A hedged, illustrative picture of a typical consolidated order forwarded to an Australian address. It is an estimate, not a quote — your real forwarding price comes from the calculator on this page, and GST is applied transparently at checkout for shipments of A$1,000 or less.
| Line item | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Cart at liujo.com (Bottom Up flare €169 + blouse ≈ €90) | ≈ €259 (≈ A$430) |
| Resendify forwarding (economy, ~1.2 kg) | from your live quote above |
| Customs duty (shipment ≤ A$1,000) | A$0 |
| GST 10% (collected at our checkout, per ATO rules) | ≈ A$43 on goods + shipping |
| Estimated landed cost | items + shipping + ~10% GST |

From fashion to car parts, from luxury to electronics — global shoppers use Resendify to buy from Europe without limits.
“Finally a service that actually works for buying from Spanish stores. I ordered from Zara España, MANGO and El Corte Inglés in the same week — everything arrived consolidated in one box. Shipping to LA was way cheaper than I expected.”
“I bought a MediaMarkt laptop that wasn't available in Canada at that price. The process was seamless — got my European address, placed the order, and Resendify handled everything from there. Will definitely use again.”
“Been sourcing European car parts for years. Resendify is the best forwarding service I've used for Europe-to-India shipments. The consolidation feature saved me hundreds on a single order.”
“Bought from a French boutique that doesn't ship to Australia. Got my Resendify address in minutes, placed the order, and it was on my doorstep in Sydney two weeks later. Exactly as advertised.”
“I source from 4–5 European suppliers every month. Resendify consolidates everything before it hits the US, which cuts my per-unit shipping cost significantly. The quote tool is accurate and the team is responsive.”
“Found a Zalando deal that was EU-only. Used Resendify, got the item shipped to Dubai without any issues. The customs documentation was all handled — that's the part I usually dread.”
Liu Jo gives 30 days from delivery for returns and exchanges, handled through courier collection or UPS drop-off points — a network built for Europe. From Australia, that means any return travels twenty-odd thousand kilometres back to Italy at your expense, which turns a refund on a €90 blouse into a bad trade. So engineer the risk out before you order. Buy your certainties from Italy: the denim waist you always wear, bags and accessories with no fit risk, a second pair of the shoes that already fit. Convert sizes properly — IT 42 ≈ AU 10, shoes EU 38 ≈ AU 7 — and read the measurement chart on every product page. Then use the warehouse as your safety net: parcels wait in our Italian facility up to 60 days, we can photograph contents on request, and a wrong or damaged item can be flagged and resolved while it is still in Italy, where Liu Jo's returns system actually reaches.

No. Liu Jo's own online stores serve Europe, the UK, Russia and the UAE — there is no Australian store or delivery option (verified July 2026). An Italian forwarding address is the practical way to buy from liujo.com.
For shipments of A$1,000 or less: no customs duty, and the 10% GST is collected by the forwarder at checkout under ATO rules — no tax normally collected on delivery. Above A$1,000, GST and duty (clothing around 5%) are assessed at the border instead. We estimate it before you ship; check abf.gov.au for current rules. For Liu Jo Italy Ship shipments specifically heading to Australia, our team pre-fills the commercial invoice to streamline clearance.
Bottom Up is Liu Jo's signature denim, engineered with lifting seams for a push-up effect; many current models use the brand's lower-impact Better Denim fabrics. The full run of fits and washes lives on liujo.com — a flare model listed at €169 there in July 2026 — and essentially none of it is sold new in Australia.
Liu Jo uses Italian sizing: IT 42 ≈ AU 10, IT 44 ≈ AU 12. Most denim is sold in inch waist sizes (25–33), and shoes are EU-sized (EU 38 ≈ AU 7). Use the table on this page plus the per-product measurement chart — returns to Italy are on you, so measure first. Note that Liu Jo Italy Ship return windows typically start from your original purchase date, not from when your package arrives in Australia.
Liu Jo allows 30 days from delivery, but through its Italian/European returns network (UPS points, courier collection). From Australia that means international postage back to Italy at your cost — treat purchases as near-final, or flag problems while your parcel is still in our Italian warehouse. Note that Liu Jo Italy Ship return windows typically start from your original purchase date, not from when your package arrives in Australia.
Yes — that's where the long route to Australia pays off. Send Liu Jo plus any other Italian shops to your Resendify address; we hold parcels free for up to 60 days and consolidate everything into one AU-bound box with one shipping charge. Liu Jo Italy Ship shoppers shipping to Australia frequently consolidate 2–4 orders to cut per-kg costs significantly.
