  • Lululemon and employer branding

    Lululemon and employer branding

    Lululemon Athletica Inc. is beefing up benefits to attract and retain workers, offering full-time employees from three to six months of paid parental leave. The gender-neutral benefit awards three months of paid leave to full-time workers who have been at the yogawear company for two years. Employees with five or more years at the firm qualify for six paid months off. At Lululemon, workers are considered full-time if they work 24 hours a week.

    “When you think about an investment, there’s also all of those areas where it’s really hard to quantify because of the contribution and the return,” said Susan Gelinas, senior vice president for people and culture at Vancouver-based Lululemon. “We just see this as something that’s right to do for our people.”

    In the U.S., without any federal requirement for paid parental leave, it’s up to individual companies to offer a benefit, and about 35 percent do, according to a survey from the Society for Human Resource Management. Still, 84 percent of workers in the U.S. don’t have access to paid family leave, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    The majority of Lululemon’s full-time staffers in the U.S. have been with the company for two or more years, while one-fifth have worked there five or more years. As of January 2018, about 60 percent of Lululemon’s 13,400 workers were based in the U.S. The company declined to say how much the new policy would cost.

    Employees working in Canada already receive some paid parental leave, a portion of which comes from the government’s unemployment insurance program. That compensation is partial, and Lululemon’s offer there is a “paid top-up,” Gelinas said in an interview.

  • Luk Fook sales drop 10 per cent in latest quarter

    Luk Fook sales drop 10 per cent in latest quarter

    Luk Fook sales in the third quarter fell 10 per cent on a same-store basis. “Recent market sentiment has been adversely impacted by the US-China trade war, the depreciation of Renminbi, and downward pressure in the stock and property markets,” said chairman Wai Sheung Wong ina  stock exchange filing. Luk Fook says same-store sales of gold products fell by 9 per cent and of gem-set jewellery by 8 per cent.

    The company’s disappointing figures come in the same week as rival jeweller Chow Tai Fook reported an 11 per cent decline in sales across Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau.

    Wong said the Renminbi’s depreciation led to higher tendency for customers to purchase lower-value items, resulting in a double-digit drop in the average selling price of gem-set jewellery products.

    Same-store Luk Fook sales in Mainland China fell by 14 per cent, with gold products down 16 per cent and gem-set jewellery down 5 per cent.

    As at December 31 the company operated 221 of its own Lukfook stores, including 150 on the mainland, 49 in Hong Kong, 11 in Macau and 11 overseas. It supplied 1573 licensed shops on the mainland, one in Cambodia and one in the Philippines, making a total of 1796 worldwide.

  • Adidas, Reebook supplier to sack 6,000 workers

    Adidas, Reebook supplier to sack 6,000 workers

    Footwear maker Pou Yuen Vietnam, the largest employer in HCMC, will lay off nearly 6,000 workers, or 10% of its workforce, amid a decline in orders.

    This is the biggest layoff of the Taiwanese company, a supplier to Adidas and Reebok, since its operation in HCMC in 1996.

    At a recent meeting with city authorities, the company’s management said with orders plummeting their factories are forced to reduce staff.

    Since the end of last year they have been adjusting production plans, furloughing workers and rearranging them between factories.

    They expect to lay off 5,744 workers in two batches on June 24 and July 8. The discharged staff will be paid compensation at the rate of 80% of their last drawn salary for every year they worked.

    During the notice period, workers not coming to work will still be paid full wages.

    Pregnant workers, on maternity leave, having kids under 12 years, from poor households, disabled, and facing other disadvantages will not be laid off.

    Pou Yuen had laid off 2,358 workers in February and over 2,800 in June 2020 just after Covid broke out.

    Layoffs are also happening in many other companies due to the bleak economic situation.

    A survey by the city Department of Labors, Invalids, and Social Affairs of 4,000 firms in Q1 found 31% had reduced their workforce and only 19% increased it.

    Layoffs often occur in footwear, garments, construction, and food processing sectors.

  • Giuseppe Zanotti Expands Into Singapore

    Giuseppe Zanotti Expands Into Singapore

    Valiram and Giuseppe Zanotti jointly announce a new phase in their partnership with the opening of a new boutique in Singapore.

    Valiram’s partnership with the Italian luxury footwear and fashion designer started in 2007 when the Malaysian-based luxury and lifestyle retail specialist opened the first Giuseppe Zanotti boutique in Malaysia at premier retail landmark Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.

    The new Giuseppe Zanotti monobrand boutique will be located in ION Orchard, a stylish architectural wonder and the most glamorous shopping complex in Singapore.

    Occupying 108-square-meter premium retail space, this refined concept store houses the brand’s iconic sculptural shoes, avant-garde sneakers and leather handbags and accessories for both men and women.

    A limited collection of children’s shoes will be introduced specifically for the boutique launch.

    The boutique’s interior design is driven by the vibrant and emotional DNA of the brand. Chrome and shiny gold surfaces mix with dark yellow and electric blue fabric on the floor carpet and furniture, and classic elements like white walls and mirror finishing complement the contemporary furniture and hardware details.

    A careful juxtaposition of materials and details brings to the environment a refined and contemporary mood, which enhances the brand’s creations for a luxury shopping experience.
    “Valiram is passionate about creativity and craftsmanship, a combination that Giuseppe Zanotti is renowned for.

    Mr. Giuseppe Zanotti added: “The strong affinity between Valiram and the brand, two businesses both longing for creativity and craftsmanship, has made it possible to accept this new challenge with true determination.

    This partnership along with the new boutique at ION Orchard, embarks our footprints in Singapore”.

  • agnès b. brings art to Hong Kong

    agnès b. brings art to Hong Kong

    agnès b. Galerie Boutique has always brought beautiful and artistic works to Hong Kong. In January, agnès b. Galerie Boutique was pleased to welcome renowned, published Belgian cartoonist turned artist, François Olislaeger, who has participated in exhibitions at the Contemporary Art biennal in Le Havre in France, at the Cité de l’Architecture and at the Gaité Lyrique.

    In Hong Kong for the first time, François exhibits his Une Fleur Par Jour (A flower a day) project inspired by his obsession with heavenly flowers.

    In 2016, François Olislaeger turned himself into a florist crafting an incredible herbarium of Cacti, Bougainvillea, Lysis, Daisies and Tulips with the utmost care and attention to detail. It is here that he honed in on his craft using gentle, pastel watercolours to depict “simply” feeling the power of flowers and paint.

    Through each flower’s lifecycle François focused on the emerging blossoms, changes of colour palettes, the variation of gestures and movement from each unique bloom, he then reinterpreted it through soft watercolours onto canvases with a sense of artistic freedom and playfulness.

    François Olislaeger’s flowers don’t have the precision of botanic boards – it is not his vocation. They don’t have the radicalness of those of Ellsworth Kelly yet. The creativity is somewhere else, in the context, in the setting, some details more or less noticeable – a colour, an incongruous presence, and petals hanging. François Olislaeger’s flowers are innocent. For the moment, they talk mainly about love – of art, of life, of a father for his young daughter Lila – and about the transformation of a very talented cartoonist becoming a painter.

    agnès b. Galerie Boutique is showcasing more than 80 pieces of François’s collection in this exhibition, some of the artworks were previously exhibited in agnès b. Galerie du jour in Paris, however for the majority of his collection – this is their first showcase and the exhibition is now open to public until 30 June 2019.

    agnès b. Galerie boutique was delighted to welcome François Olislaeger to the vernissage of his exhibition at the agnès b. Galerie Boutique on the night of 31 January 2019.

    Media and KOL friends were treated to a personal recollection of what inspired him to create his artwork as well as witness François live paint the Lily and two other artworks exclusively for the Hong Kong exhibition. agnes b. Galerie Boutique also designed 7 styles of temporary tattoo stickers that guests were about to take home a memory of his art.

  • Mainlanders drive Sa Sa sales to $2.1b

    Mainlanders drive Sa Sa sales to $2.1b

    Sa Sa International Holdings (0178), the cosmetics and skincare retailer, said yesterday retail and wholesale turnover for the first quarter ended June 30 increased by 24.8 percent over the same period the year to HK$2.11 billion.

    The retail and wholesale turnover in Hong Kong and Macau markets increased by 27.7 percent to HK$1.8 billion, while same-store sales increased by 25.3 percent.

    This was mainly driven by a 27.5 percent increase in the number of transactions from mainland tourists, which also led to a 14.5 percent growth in the volume of transactions.

    The average sales per transaction of local consumers and mainland tourists increased by 8.1 percent and 7 percent respectively, Sa Sa reported.

    Hong Kong’s retailers have forecast their turnover in the second half to grow by 10 percent year on year, JLL found in a recent survey.

    About 83 percent of the international and local retailers are planning to open new shops in the city over the next 12 months, a significant jump from 62 percent as recorded a year ago. JLL surveyed 40 retailers and retail landlords in June and found that more than 90 percent of the respondents stated their retail sales in the first half of 2018 fared better than those in the previous year.

    Retailers from almost all sectors are seeing strong and sustained growth in their sales which will lead to them investing more into the market, while the luxury sector is currently the biggest winner, led predominantly by the mainland tourists, said James Assersohn, director of Asia Pacific Retail at JLL.

    “However, we also see locals increase spending which provides a deeper and more sustainable growth trajectory for retail businesses here,” James added.

    Meanwhile, it is worth noting that changing consumption patterns and shopper profiles fueled by millennials and generation Z have also led to greater demand for mass and mid-market brands, serving as a significant boost to local spending, said the survey. It is expected that the rents of high street shops and prime shopping centers to grow in the range of 0 to 5 percent for the full year, said Terence Chan, Head of Retail at JLL in Hong Kong.

    For the local industrial and commercial property market, property agency Midland IC&I (0459) forecast 10,000 transactions will be recorded in 2018, rising by 8 to 10 percent year-on-year, which will set a new record high.

    The turnover for the year is expected to decline 0 to 5 percent mainly due to uncertainties including the trade war between China and the United States and fluctuations the local stock market.

    Midland IC&I forecasts that industrial and commercial properties will record a turnover of HK$130 billion and HK$160 billion respectively for the second half and the full year.

  • Christopher Bailey to depart Burberry after 17 amazing years

    Christopher Bailey to depart Burberry after 17 amazing years

    Christopher Bailey is to depart from Burberry after 17 years as its creative head. In a statement issued overnight, Burberry said Bailey, 46, will remain in his dual roles of president and chief creative officer until March 31, when he will also resign from the board.

    He will design the Spring/Summer 2018 collection and exit the business in December after a period of transition.

    “Burberry has undergone an incredible transformation since 2001 and Christopher has been instrumental to the company’s success in that period,” said Burberry CEO Marco Gobbetti.

    Bailey described his tenure at the UK-headquartered luxury fashion brand as “the great privilege of my working life”.

    “I am excited to pursue new creative projects but remain fully committed to the future success of this magnificent brand and to ensuring a smooth transition.”

    Replacement tipped

    Some analysts are already picking Bailey’s replacement: Phoebe Philo, who worked with Gobbetti at Celine, has been identified as a frontrunner.

    “For now, Philo remains in her role at Celine” But LVMH is interviewing designers to replace Philo and rebuild Celine’s design team in preparation for her eventual departure. The conglomerate vehemently denied that Philo’s departure was “imminent” without denying that interviews for her replacement were taking place.”

    “Phoebe used to work with Marco Gobbetti and they know each other well,” Mario Ortelli, head of the luxury goods sector at Sanford C Bernstein. “She is a big name, and in terms of brand elevation she can be one of the possible candidates for the role. In our view Phoebe Philo could move across to Burberry and recreate the powerful CEO-creative director combination Gobbetti and Philo experienced at Celine.”

    Thomas Chauvet, head of luxury goods equity research with Citigroup, concurred in a note issued after the Bailey announcement.

    “Early feedback from investors suggests that the successful partnership she previously had with Mr Gobbetti makes her a suitable potential candidate.”

    Pascal Martin, partner with OC&C Strategy Consultants in Hong Kong, said 17 years at the helm of a luxury brand’s design team is a long tenure – longer than most design directors in global luxury houses, with the exception of very rare cases like Chanel’s Lagerfeld.

    “In his time, Bailey had completely revived the brand and had the genius to re-invent the trench, Burberry’s iconic product, and make it trendy and aspirational. He has also led Burberry’s charge into the digital world, ahead of the entire luxury sector, making the brand “cool” to the millennials generation when other luxury brands were still very hesitant and protective.”

    Rivals catching up

    But Martin said Burberry’s designs and stores have lost a bit of their innovativeness lately, while many luxury brands have caught-up with Burberry on the digital front.

    “Looking ahead, creating new excitement around the brand – through product design and store design – is going to be one of the major challenges for the new design director.”

    Charlotte Pearce, a retail analyst with GlobalData, said since Bailey became creative director in 2004, he has contributed to total revenue growth of £2 billion and has helped to regenerate the brand, turning it back into the aspirational, iconic label that it once was.

    “With just over a year until Bailey leaves, there is plenty of time for Marco Gobbetti, who took over as CEO in July, to find the right candidate to fill Bailey’s shoes. It is crucial that Burberry finds someone with respect for the brand’s British heritage but is able to further evolve the label creatively and bring it into a new era,” said Pearce.

    Gobbetti said Burberry has “a clear vision for the next chapter” to accelerate the growth and success of the brand.

    “I am excited about the opportunity ahead for our teams, our partners and our shareholders.”

  • Coty’s results beyond expectations

    Coty’s results beyond expectations

    Beauty products maker Coty Inc (COTY.N) posted better-than-expected quarterly results, selling more of a range of luxury perfumes which include Burberry and Gucci brands.

    Once a pure-play fragrance maker, Coty has diversified by acquiring a slew of established brands and adding hair appliances and Younique makeup to its portfolio of products to attract younger customers.

    Powered by strong growth in designer brands including Chloe and Tiffany & Co, sales in its luxury beauty segment climbed 19 percent to $752.5 million in the third quarter ended March 31.

    Shares in the company rose 6.3 percent to $16.90 in response to the results.

    Chief Executive Officer Camillo Pane said that prior to the relaunch of a series of its products in January this year, sales of its CoverGirl makeup and skincare faced double-digit declines. Wednesday’s results showed a low single-digit percentage fall.

    “The overall Clairol business is not showing big signs of improvement,” said Pane, as it faces a stagnant beauty market in the U.S. and competition from L’Oreal (OREP.PA) and ELF Cosmetics.

    Pane said he expects modest organic net revenue growth in the second half of 2018.

    Net loss attributable to Coty Inc narrowed to $77 million or 10 cents per share, from a loss of $164.2 million or 22 cents per share, a year earlier.

    Coty reported a drop of about 73 percent in restructuring costs in the quarter.

    Excluding certain items, the company earned 13 cents per share, beating analysts’ average estimate by 1 cent.

    Sales rose 9.4 percent to $2.22 billion, beating analysts’ estimate of $2.17 billion.

  • Nike sued over copycat sports bra design

    Nike sued over copycat sports bra design

    A Florida-based entrepreneur is suing Nike for allegedly copying her design patents pertaining to a sports bra with pockets.

    SherryWear LLC claimed in a lawsuit filed this week that Nike copied its pocket bra design after its founder, Sherry Goff, submitted the SherryWear pocket bra design to Nike via an online submission. The design at the time had some issued and pending patents.

    According to the suit filed in a Massachusetts court on Monday, Nike rejected Goff’s design in March 2017. Just a few months later, Nike filed a U.S. patent application for a “Bra With Storage Pockets.” Goff submitted the SherryWear pocket bra design to Nike again after that and was rejected again.

    SherryWear specifically takes issue with Nike’s Swoosh Pocket Bra and the Swoosh on the Run bras, both of which feature pockets.

    “Nike has never had authority to use, offer, sell or import any product or assembly covered by the Pocket Bra Patents or actively induce others to do so,” the suit claims. “By continuing to engage in commercial activities described in this complaint, Nike is knowingly, deliberately and intentionally infringing the Pocket Bra Patents.”

    Retail News has reached out to Nike for a comment. In a statement to Retail News, a spokesperson for SherryWear’s law firm, Caldwell IP Law, said it is “confident in the effectiveness of the patent system and its ability to empower small businesses, such as SherryWear.”

    Nike may be on the defensive this time, but the Swoosh has historically taken a harsh legal stance when it comes to protecting itself against potential copycats. Nike, in 2021, filed a trademark infringement and dilution complaint against MSCHF, the company that released its controversial Satan Shoes with Lil Nas X, and settled the lawsuit shortly after. Last year, Nike resolved its trademark infringement battle with footwear designer John Geiger after claiming he created sneakers that were similar to Nike’s Air Force 1 shoes.

  • Puma and Adyen Showcase the Speed and Flexibility of Unified Commerce

    Puma and Adyen Showcase the Speed and Flexibility of Unified Commerce

    Retail’s Big Show APAC (NRF 2025 APAC), world’s leading sports brand Puma and global financial technology platform Adyen shared how their strategic partnership is transforming retail operations and customer experiences across Asia Pacific and beyond.

    From flagship stores to high-pressure, high-volume environments like Formula 1 events, Puma is leveraging Adyen’s unified commerce platform to deliver fast, frictionless, and flexible customer experiences—online, offline, and everywhere in between.

    Since 2020, Puma has partnered with Adyen to consolidate its previously fragmented payment systems. Before that, multiple providers across different markets led to issues with fraud, reconciliation delays, and inconsistent customer experiences. By migrating to Adyen’s single platform, Puma has streamlined backend operations, improved reporting accuracy, and accelerated store and event rollouts in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand, the UK, and other European markets.

    This partnership underscores a growing trend among global retailers to consolidate fragmented payment systems into unified platforms—streamlining operations and enhancing the customer journey across every channel.

    Key Highlights:

    • From Fragmented to Unified: Before 2020, Puma operated with a mix of payment providers across different markets, resulting in operational inefficiencies and inconsistent customer experiences as a multinational business when scaling. Adyen’s unified platform now powers both online and in-store payments in a single ecosystem.
    • Accelerated Rollouts: In Australia, Puma deployed Adyen’s POS terminals across 26 stores in under a month—fully remotely, effectively eliminating the cost of in-person deployment in a vast geographic market. Singapore and other markets have since adopted the same agile deployment model.
    • Omnichannel Innovation: Puma is enhancing its omnichannel model to drive conversion rates and ensure seamless transactions, preventing missed sales opportunities by helping customers complete purchases in the moment. Customers can buy online and return in-store, or purchase in-store and receive goods from other store locations or warehouses—eliminating friction and keeping the buying process convenient.
    • Customer-Led Payment Strategy: Puma adapts to local consumer preferences, whether that’s credit cards, e-wallets, or Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL), Puma can quickly activate local payment methods via Adyen’s platform—meeting regional preferences without technical complexity.
    • F1-Ready Payments: At high-volume events like Formula 1, Puma leverages Adyen’s mobile and scalable solution to process thousands of transactions efficiently—supporting seamless customer journeys in high-pressure environments. This enables high-speed setups and smooth customer flows during major global events.

    “With Adyen, Puma is not only simplifying operations but also enhancing customer experiences on a global scale,” said Ben Wong, General Manager, Southeast Asia & Hong Kong at Adyen. “Retail today is about agility, speed, and personalization. From F1 events to everyday store operations, our partnership with Puma is a clear example of how unified commerce can empower retailers to operate smarter, move faster, and adapt to rapidly changing market conditions. Whether it’s enabling remote rollouts, supporting local payment preferences, or handling massive event transactions, we’re proud to help Puma deliver a seamless experience that puts the customer first.”
