  • Skechers in Korea joint venture

    Skechers in Korea joint venture

    Skechers in Korea will now be managed by a joint venture with the parent company.

    Previously imported and distributed by a third-party company, Skechers head office in the US has confirmed it has partnered with Luen Thai Enterprises in a new business called Skechers Korea Co.

    “This will enable Skechers to use its proven sales and marketing strategies to further expand the brand in one of our key international markets,” the company said in a statement released in the US.

    “With a dedicated team from our previous distributor, LS Networks, and the knowledge and acumen of our Skechers China team, we believe we can profitably grow our business in South Korea and truly penetrate the region with a strong presentation from our vast collection of men’s, women’s and kids’ footwear.”

    Skechers footwear has been available in South Korea for more than 15 years.

    “ In that time, we have developed a great footprint with a network of more than 55 Skechers stores and built the brand through strong marketing campaigns, including using the talents of exceptionally popular endorsees like K-Pop stars Sistar and EXO in Skechers marketing campaigns,” said David Weinberg, COO and CFO of Skechers.”

    LS Networks distributed Skechers in South Korea from 2009 to 2016.

    “We’ve been very pleased with the consumer response to the Skechers product in South Korea,” added Sung Hun “Scott” Lee, previous senior GM of Skechers’ Korean distribution partner and now president of Skechers Korea Co. “Through my time with LS Networks, I’ve seen firsthand how Skechers has grown in Korea, most recently through the Skechers D’Lites craze that started here in 2015 and spread through Asia and then around the globe.

    “Now as part of the Skechers global team and with key members of my previous team transitioning with me, we’ll have the direct resources, support and insight to really take the business to the next level.”

    Willie Tan, CEO of Skechers Asia joint ventures, said forming a JV with Skechers that combines its global expertise with the local partner’s unique insight in this market “we’ll be able to more efficiently build the brand and more effectively directly target merchandising to the unique tastes of consumers across South Korea”.

    “We expect this will strengthen our business not only in South Korea but further synergise the business across Asia.”

  • Government to take firm action against illegal textile imports

    Government to take firm action against illegal textile imports

    The government plans to take firm action against illegal imports of textile and textile products as these have been hindering business and impacting ind ustrial growth in the manufacturing sector.

    “We will take firm action against importers who have so far misused facilities to avoid official levies by the government,” Finance Minister Sri Mulyani said at a press conference here on Thursday.

    She stated that strengthening the textile industry and the textile products sector was very important as this sector has been asked to increase production to boost national exports.

    Smuggling of used clothes into several regions of the country to meet the increasing demand for cheap clothes has been disrupting growth of textile and textile products sector.

    Certain people were illegally importing products. These people held import licenses to transfer goods to other parties. Businessmen dealing in textile and textile products exploited these licensed importers.

    “We will enforce the law. We have invited police officers to a meeting attended by the chief of the crime investigation department to take a stronger and more consistent action against illegal imports,” she assured.

    Sri Mulyani informed that she would also invite other ministries to review regulations relating to textile and textile products imports. Some of these regulations overlap and run against the needs of the public, trade and industry.

    The TPT (textile and textile products) is a labor intensive industry that can absorb a lot of workers and even create new jobs in the distribution and trade sectors, she added.

    In 2016, Indonesias TPT exports contributed 9.61 percent to the total non-oil and gas exports, which is the second highest after palm oil exports, recorded at 10.3 percent.

    Based on national law enforcement data in 2015, 162 cases of smuggling were aborted by the Directorate of Customs and Excise of the Ministry of Finance. Until October this year, 151 cases of TPT smuggling cases had come to light.

    The Directorate of Customs and Excise would tighten coordination and supervision in cooperation with the Corruption Eradication Commission, the Indonesia Police, the Ministry of Trade as well as the Ministry of Industry to solve the TPT import problem.

    With improved TPT import policies and their implementation, the national manufacturing industry is expected to grow while domestic prices of TPT would be more stable and state revenues more optimal.

  • Richemont sales woes prompt radical response

    Richemont sales woes prompt radical response

    With Chinese shoppers buying fewer watches, Richemont sales continue to slide, prompting the luxury brand owner to announce uncharacteristically radical moves.

    While continuing to cull its store network, Richemont has axed its CEO role, placing more accountability in the roles of its brand executives.

    Richemont, which counts luxury timepiece brands Vacheron Constantin and IWC in its 35-strong portfolio, says trends are improving in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. But with more of its portfolio in watches than rival corporate fashion groups LVMH and Kering, it is more exposed to current market trends and less resilient. Richemont also owns Cartier, Chloe, Dunhill, Giampiero Bodino, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lancel, Montblanc, Officine Panerai, Piaget, Peter Millar, Purdey, Roger Dubuis, Shanghai Tang and Van Cleef & Arpels.

    Profits fell 43 per cent (including exchange rate effect) to €798 million for the six months to September, and the company has expressed its concern at overcapacity in the Swiss watchmaking industry. A large factor in the poor result was the €249 million buy-back and destruction of excess products to reduce overcapacity in the distribution chain.

    Sales were down by 13 per cent to €5.1 billion, but significantly this was led by Japan and Europe, rather than Hong Kong and Macau as in past reporting periods. Mainland Chinese buyers still played their part in the decline, however: fewer are visiting Europe due to concerns over terrorism, and the depreciation of the yuan has impacted on spending in Japan.

    The company closed 25 shops globally during the first half and another 25 are scheduled for closure by December 31. It did not reveal the locations of these stores.

    The end of the CEO post coincides with the retirement of outgoing chief Richard Lepeu and finance director Gary Saage. The company’s founder, South African-born Johann Rupert, will remain in the role of executive chairman and will take over supervising a group of division directors.

    Richemont has a reputation for managing for the long-term and resisting the sort of knee-jerk reactions typical among listed companies ever-concerned about satisfying shareholders.  “The significance of such a dramatic break with the past can’t be overstated,” observed an analyst with Bloomberg.

    “They indicate that it doesn’t expect conditions to get any easier any time soon, so it needs a fresh approach. It just might work. And it’s not as radical an idea as it might seem,” wrote columnist Andrea Felsted.

    She suggests the company may need to fix or divest underperforming brands

    “It also needs to control the cost base by addressing headcount, which it has already started to do, and slimming the store estate. The danger is that the new management structure is cumbersome, lacking cohesion, and is ripe for internal power struggles. Rupert will remain the constant, and is likely to take greater control as a result of the radical revamp. He says his role is that of ‘an arbiter of egos, akin to a soccer manager’.”

  • Marks & Spencer plans to close all stores in Chinese mainland after profits plunged

    Marks & Spencer plans to close all stores in Chinese mainland after profits plunged

    UK retailer Marks & Spencer announced on Wednesday that it will pull out of the Chinese mainland market and close all the 10 stores amid shrinking profits, according to a statement the company sent to the Global Times on Wednesday.

    “Our review has shown that our stores in Chinese mainland continue to make losses and as result we can no longer trade with a store presence in the Chinese market,” Adam Colton, managing director of Greater China at Marks & Spencer, said in the statement.

    The company didn’t disclose sales revenues in the Chinese mainland market.

    An employee at an Marks & Spencer store in Beijing told the Global Times on Wednesday that he feels sorry about the closures because business in Beijing was quite good and there were a lot of loyal customers. He did not know when his last day of work would be. The 1,500-square Beijing flagship store at the Place shopping mall was opened in December 2015.

    Intensified competition and relatively high prices were the main reasons behind Marks & Spencer’s retreat from Chinese mainland, experts noted.

    “In Chinese mainland, the traditional UK brand did not have much appeal for Chinese consumers. For example, the prices in its food shops were a bit more expensive than even imported food stores,” Wang Xinmiao, a Beijing-based retail industry analyst, told the Global Times on Wednesday.

    In addition, the company did not have much time to cultivate brand awareness and a loyal customer base because the Chinese apparel market had already been saturated with “fast fashion” international brands, such as Zara, H&M, GAP, and Uniqlo, which marched into the Chinese mainland market much earlier than Marks & Spencer, Wang said.

    In contrast, the UK retailer has built a profitable wholly-owned business in Hong Kong in large part because it entered the market as early as 1988, the statement noted. Marks & Spencer is planning to expand its business in Hong Kong by opening more food stores in the near future.

    A customer said he came on purpose to the Beijing shop here after he has known the closure news. He has lived in UK for years and he trusts M&S, and he will shop in Hong Kong after the end of business here.

    The UK retailer has been losing ground in other international markets. In addition to its closures on the Chinese mainland, the company outlined plans to shutter 53 stores in 10 international markets, including seven in France, while pulling out of Belgium, Estonia, Hungary and Lithuania.

    In the first half of 2016, the company’s pre-tax profit plummeted 88 percent to 25.1 million pounds ($ 31.39million), down from 216 million pounds in the same period a year ago, as reported by BBC on Wednesday.

    Zalora partners with Calvin Klein Asia

  • Reebok restructure to be fast-tracked

    Reebok restructure to be fast-tracked

    The new CEO of Adidas says he plans to streamline and restructure the ailing Reebok business as a priority under his watch.

    CEO Kasper Rorsted, in a conference call with business media, also promised a completion of the sale of the Adidas TaylorMade golf business by the end of this year, even if that meant booking a loss.

    While its core Adidas brand business is performing well enough to prompt four raises in the company’s financial outlook this year, a Reebok restructure is necessary while the unit continues to struggle.

    “We’ll give Reebok more freedom to operate globally, and more responsibility in the US,” Rorsted said. “We’ll get a more focused organisation, and that will enable us to continue the momentum we have right now of Adidas in the US and it will make Reebok stronger.”

    Rorsted will move Reebok’s headquarters from Canton to new premises in Boston where the team will be 100 per cent Reebok, with about 150 jobs cut. At least one US factory will be closed and the US store network cut back to focus on wholesale. Restructuring is estimated to cost $33 million.

    Adidas has been converting Reebok from a traditional sports shoe maker into a fitness brand. Top-line sales growth has grown for the last 14 quarters, but it still lags its parent.

    “We have to be realistic. Reebok is growing slower than Adidas and our competition, and we have seen no growth in North America in the past three years. And lastly, the profitability is significantly below the group average. It’s time to get back to the gym and redouble our efforts on Reebok.”

    So strong is Adidas performing the costs of restructuring and  a potential loss on the sale of the golf business is unlikely to impact on group profit. And Rorsted indicated there was no sign of any slowing in Adidas’ growth.

    “The consumer centric approach has increased our brand desirability and relevance with the consumers. You can see that not only in our markets or in our revenue numbers, but also in the market share gains in the key categories and markets where we are active.”

  • Korean Fashion Struts Authentic Style to Thailand’s Online Shoppers

    Korean Fashion Struts Authentic Style to Thailand’s Online Shoppers

    WearYouWant, Thailand’s leading online fashion and beauty marketplace, is launching a premium, Korean fashion range in Thailand, designed and made in Korea, to satisfy the ever-growing love of Korean brands in the Kingdom. Developing a close relationship with online fashion house, Atria International Style, WearYouWant is sourcing authentic Korean brands, importing these for the Thai market from up-and-coming local Korean designers.

    Just as Korean pop music as captured a huge fan base in Thailand, there is high demand for Korean fashion too. The new Korean range of cool and stylish women’s apparel, accessories, bags and shoes, is to be showcased on WearYouWant. The launch, planned for December 2016, is big news for Thailand’s online shoppers. It is also a sign of growing focus from Korea on Thailand’s rapidly developing e-commerce market; the fastest growing in Southeast Asia.

    The WearYouWant collection is unique in Thailand and has been specially curated by fashion experts to assure quality and to appeal to the country’s online fashion-buying market who are actively seeking out Korean brands. Martin Toft Sorensen, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of WearYouWant confirms that this latest fashion collection launch is part of an ongoing strategy to understand and meet their customers’ needs and a response to the market in Korea too.

    “Our decision to move forward with Korean brands is in part due to a general push for designers to expand beyond the saturated markets in Korea. WearYouWant is an ideal platform for this expansion as there is a great amount of passionate interest from our online shoppers for Korean fashions. We pride our success in being ahead of the curve with consumer trends and this is what makes our platform so vibrant, relevant and exciting.”

    This launch follows the Last Mile Fulfilment (LMF) Korea 2016 conference in September 2016, which Martin Toft Sorensen attended. The event focused on the attraction of Thailand’s solid e-commerce market and higher purchasing power for Korean brands looking to grow within Southeast Asia and succeed outside Korea’s competitive markets. Also clearly highlighted was the importance of fashion distributors in assisting Korean brands to spread out within the region and the value that this can bring to outside markets. The WearYouWant launch aims to add value to Thailand’s blossoming ecommerce market where demand is strong and expectations high.

    ATRIA STYLE (www.atriastyle.com), a powerful South Korean platform that sells contemporary fashion and beauty brands all over the world has been working closely with WearYouWant to fuel cross-border fashion and beauty relations in Thailand to build strong commerce presence between these two key retail luxury markets.

    Founder and CEO, Cindy Yun is optimistic about the future success of Korean fashion and beauty brands through the WearYouWant platform.  “Korean designer fashion is forward thinking, high quality and, in terms of production, there is a good lead time in creating output. This means that brands are stylish and affordable which greatly appeals to savvy Thai consumers. For designers looking to expand their collections outside of Korea, WearYouWant is a vital online lifeline and the e-commerce opportunity this launch entails will enable them to realize their true potential.”

  • David Beckham splits with H&M

    David Beckham splits with H&M

    David Beckham has split with fashion retailer H&M – and he’s being upstaged by a Canadian pop star with a hairdo worse than Donald Trump’s…

    H&M introduced its first Beckham Bodywear collection featuring form-fitting underwear in 2012 and expanded the partnership to include a broader range of garments including jerseys and light summer suits dubbed Modern Essentials in March 2015. There’s even been a Beckham raincoat.

    But now the brand believes it is time for a change. It has signed up Grammy-winning R&B artist Abel Tesfaye, 26, who performs under the deliberately misspelled name The Weeknd, for a one-off menswear collection which will go on sale from March. The chain believes the new signing will appeal to younger shoppers than Beckham, now 41.

    According to Bloomberg, H&M said it would not rule out future collaborations with Beckham, who also has partnerships with Hong Kong-based Global Brands, endorses Adidas shoes, Breitling watches and Samsung smartphones.

    An H&M spokeswoman told Bloomberg there was no direct link between the end of the Beckham partnership and the signing of Tesfaye.

    The singer will choose his favourite items for an H&M collection to be called Spring Icons Selected by The Weeknd.

    Queuing for Kenzo

    Meanwhile, H&M’s collaboration with fashion label Kenzo launched yesterday, leading to queues outside two stores in Singapore where the collection was on sale – in the Orchard Building and at Ion Orchard.

    The Orchard Building store opened at 8am and by 7.30am about 100 people were lined up outside the store. Some at the front of the queue had reportedly arrived on Tuesday morning, presumably holding the place in shifts.

  • Hermes results show luxury rebound

    Hermes results show luxury rebound

    Rebounding luxury goods sales in Mainland China and improvements in Hong Kong have boosted third-quarter Hermes results.

    Analysts are pointing to these and last week’s strong Kering numbers in tipping the worst may now be over for both luxury markets.

    Hermes reported overnight that sales climbed to 1.26 billion euros (US$1.4 billion) in the last quarter, ahead of estimates.  Sales growth was strongest in Asia-Pacific, up 14 per cent and fuelling a global increase of 8.8 per cent excluding currency fluctuations. That’s the fastest growth rate in two years in the region.

    “The driving trend is that the Chinese customer is slowly coming back,” Makiko Zuercher, who manages the Dynapartners Luxury Brands Fund, told Reuters.

    Chinese customers are the most prolific buyers of luxury goods globally, accounting for about one third of demand. Luxury brands say their return to stores has been driven by government policies encouraging domestic consumption.

    “China is growing at a better pace, mainly because the economy is strengthening and because of domestic consumption,” Hermes CEO Axel Dumas told journalists in a conference call. “In our case, I’m not talking about a rebound, because we always had growth.”

    Hermes’ sales of leather goods rose 16 per cent, with the $9000 Constance purse and $5000 Halzan shoulder bag leading the way.

    After reporting growth of 7.7 per cent for the first nine months of the year, Hermes is predicting full-year growth of just under 8 per cent, a target analysts expect it will exceed.

    LVMH and Richemont have also reported improvements in Asian sales in recent weeks.

    Marks & Spencer is reportedly due to announce the closure of some of its Chinese shops when it releases its trading update next week.

    There is speculation that chief executive Steve Rowe will reveal his plans to help bring the department store chain back into business when the company’s half-year results are published.

    M&S currently has 10 stores in China, and according to Bloomberg some of them could be in the firing line.

    The news comes just a week after speculation that M&S’ Paris flagship would also close down, as part of Rowe’s plans to move away from loss-making international operations.

    The department store chain will reveal its interim results on November 8.

  • Christian Louboutin perfume oils launched

    Christian Louboutin perfume oils launched

    A trio of Christian Louboutin perfume oils has been unveiled, adding a new dimension to the iconic shoe designer’s fashion cachet.

    And as one would expect, the launch is backed by an edgy multimedia campaign of videos featuring admiring men and print media bordering on the erotic.

    But the new scents do not come cheap. A 30ml bottle will set you US$320.

    Christian Louboutin scents bottlesChristian Louboutin’s perfume oils are described as “a new and highly luxurious way” to experience Louboutin’s three signature women’s fragrances: Bikini Questa Sera, Tornade Blonde and Trouble in Heaven.

    “The alchemy of precious oil touching the skin produces a scent that is utterly personal to the woman wearing it. The perfume oil is an exceptional elixir containing the highest concentration of fragrance oil and no added water or alcohol, providing a more intimate experience than a conventional form of fragrance,” the designer explains.

    The oil features the same unique olfactive construction as the fragrance, which is what Louboutin calls the “ping.”

    “The first burst of scent, like the striking of a piano key, is followed by a beautiful resonance of scent as the note echoes its sound. There is one present moment,” he says, “and then there is the trace, le sillage, I think of it as its memory.”

    Apparently, Louboutin has always loved the idea of the ritual of beauty, which is why he wanted the perfume oil to be applied with a glass dabber contained within the bottle, so that a woman can ‘stroke’ on the fragrance “in a highly feminine and elegant gesture”.

    “Each woman can delight in her own very personal ritual, choosing where to apply the oils: decollete, wrists, collarbone, along her legs, her inner arm, and the nape of her neck.”

    The oil is intended to be massaged into the body inviting the pleasure of sensation. It leaves the skin lustrous, enveloping the wearer in a second-skin of perfume. It can be worn alone or layered with the fragrances to heighten the sensory experience, to explore and create new dimensions and nuances of scent, the designer says.

    The perfume oil bottle is an objet d’art that is both visually hypnotic and tactile. A collaboration between Christian and Heatherwick Studio, it undulates with harmonious and dynamic energy. A unique and luxurious metallic finish gives the bottles an iridescent, radiant effect and differentiates the oils within the Christian Louboutin fragrance range.
