Periplus
At the end of season 1, using the proceeds of her divorce settlement with Tom, Jan opens a high-end fashion boutique named Periplus. Quickly hiring the fresh new talent of Anna Chang, the boutique flourishes with the offer of original sailing attire. With its colourful awnings and bizarre video monitor/juke box, Periplus becomes a central set in Howards' Way. After the theft of Changs fashion designs in season 4, Jan poaches new talent from a fashion house in Cowes, and the House of Howard goes from strength to strength with the launch of an aprés sail range that sends Periplus international. However, contorversy ensues when Polly uses the Periplus trademark to launch the UK arm of a German franchise of mail order ski wear, Die Spitze, without Jan's permission.
