  • H&M to shut high-profile Singapore store

    H&M to shut high-profile Singapore store

     H&M’ s two-storey Ion Orchard outlet is closing in March, after a run of more than a decade.

    Opened in 2012, the store’s last day of operations is on March 12, according to a Facebook post by the Swedish fast-fashion brand on Feb

    The post added: “But don’t worry. We’ll meet in other places.” The retailer, which currently has nine outlets in Singapore, shuttered two outlets in recent years.

    H&M’s Tampines Mall outlet was shut in August 2020, while its Waterway Point outlet in Punggol closed in January 2021.

    The Straits Times has contacted H&M for comment.

    H&M entered the Republic in 2011 with a flagship store at Somerset.

    The world’s No. 2 fashion retailer – behind Inditex, which owns Zara – has had a spate of closures in Europe, spurred by factors such as the Ukraine-Russia conflict and high inflation.

    According to media reports, one in five of its Britain-based stores had closed in the past few years, with four more stores earmarked to close this year citing “a rapid change in customer behaviour”.

    In October 2020, the retailer said it planned to cut 250 of its stores globally. As at Nov 30, 2022, it had 4,465 outlets worldwide.

    Luxury brands have weathered factors such as the Ukraine-Russia conflict far better than their high-street counterparts.

    While H&M saw its net profit fall 68 per cent from 2021 to 3.6 billion Swedish kronor (S$450 million), French multinational LVMH – which owns brands including Tiffany & Co, Christian Dior and Sephora – had a record year in 2022, raking in a 23 per cent jump to hit €79.2 billion (S$112.9 billion) in 2022.

    Amorepacific Group’s net profit halved last year

    The earnings report noted that domestic sales in Korea continued to account for the largest share of sales at 62.9%, down 9.9% year-over-year, while overseas sales fell 6.1%. In addition, in its fiscal 2021 earnings report, it noted that the Korean beauty giant’s sales rose 8% to $4.26 billion in 2021, which ended on December 31 last year, while operating profit soared 136.4% to $286 million, with sales up 8% year-over-year to $4.2 billion and net profit of $240 million , a 1224% jump compared to 2020.

    For the reason that its revenue decreased 10%, Amore Pacific Group said pure domestic (Korean) revenue increased from strong online sales growth (over 20%) but travel retail revenue declined by double digit (24% of total revenue).

    In the first quarter of 2022, group revenue in Asia fell 10% to $300 million due to revenue decline from resurgence of COVID-19 and restructuring of offline stores.

    Notably, in Asia, Amore Pacific’s premium brand Sulwhasoo contributed accounting 35% in its Luxury Subsidiary. Sulwhasoo strengthened representative anti-aging solution line of Sulwhasoo strengthened its representative anti-aging solution line of “Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Serum Ex, eye cream”.

  • Uniqlo parent says profit slipped as Japan, China drag growth

    Uniqlo parent says profit slipped as Japan, China drag growth

    Japan’s Fast Retailing Co, owner of clothing brand Uniqlo, said on Thursday that first quarter earnings slid 2%, reflecting weakness at home and continuing COVID-19 restrictions in China.

    A day after announcing plans for big wage rises, the company said operating profit had been 117.1 billion yen ($889.82 million) in the three months to the end of November, compared with 119.4 billion yen a year earlier.

    The consensus forecast was for 135.3 billion yen, according to the average of five analyst estimates collected by Refinitiv.

    Domestic results were hit by warmer weather in November that stifled sales of fall and winter wear, while COVID curbs continued to weigh on China, including the temporary closure of 247 stores in Beijing and Guangzhou.

    “Once ‘with corona’ lifestyles take root, we think a normal operations will come back on the Chinese mainland,” CFO Takeshi Okazaki told reporters.

    Sales and earnings in all other regions increased. The company held its full-year operating profit forecast at 350 billion yen.

    The company, Japan’s biggest retailer, sent shockwaves through the country on Wednesday by saying it would lift its employees’ wages by as much as 40%. That greatly satisfied policymakers, who had been urging employers to raise wages to help offset the highest inflation in a generation.

    “From a macro perspective, this move highlights that it is becoming increasingly difficult for Japanese companies to attract and retain workers,” said Mark Chadwick, an independent equities analyst who publishes on the Smartkarma platform.

    Fast Retailing, which operates more than 3,500 clothing stores worldwide, reported record profit last fiscal year, as growth in North America and Europe compensated for a slump in China.

    The company is seen as a bellwether for the Chinese market, where it produces many of its goods and operates almost 900 Uniqlo stores, more than in Japan.

    Fast Retailing’s share price slid 2% in Tokyo trade, compared to a flat benchmark Nikkei index.

  • Hermes Expands in Nanjing as Luxury Industry Bets on Chinese Return

    Hermes Expands in Nanjing as Luxury Industry Bets on Chinese Return

    Birkin bag maker Hermes is opening a new, enlarged store in China’s Nanjing city, signalling the luxury industry’s confidence in a strong return of Chinese shoppers after three years of tough COVID-19 restrictions.

    Hermes, which first opened a store in the city in 2010, has now relocated to the upscale mall Deji Plaza, with a wider product selection spread across two floors, from silk scarves to leather goods, as well as home decor, jewellery and clothing.

    European luxury houses have continued to invest in China, expected to become the sector’s largest market by 2025, despite a turbulent year marked by disruptions as the country imposed strict curbs to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

    News in late December that the country was relaxing travel rules pushed up the share prices of global luxury companies including the world’s largest, LVMH.

    Hermes and LVMH both generated around 30% of annual sales in China in 2020, according to UBS.

    Mainland China, where Hermes counts 27 stores, has been a strong focus for the leather goods specialist. Last year, Hermes opened a larger store in Wuhan, and set up its first shop in Zhengzhou, in Henan province.

    China is expected to serve as an important source of growth in the coming months as Europe faces an energy crisis and the U.S. economy cools. Bernstein analyst Luca Solca forecasts luxury sales could grow between 25% and 35% in the country this year while in the West they are expected around 5% to 10%.

  • Levi’s largest Southeast Asia store lands in Singapore

    Levi’s largest Southeast Asia store lands in Singapore

    Levi’s will be launching new stores and rolling out existing store refreshes as well as new in-store services throughout the East Asia Pacific (EAP) region. New stores are expected to launch this year in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Australia, and Thailand. This is part of the company’s plans to accelerate sustainable business and commercial growth in the EAP region.

    Its stores and shop-in-shops will be refurnished into NextGen Indigo stores, and this will be done using digital tools to streamline the consumer journey, including installing LED portal entry archways and LED screens for marketing content. Levi Strauss & Co. managing director and senior vice president of EAP, Nuholt Huisamen, said that in Thailand alone, close to 100 new retail stores will be introduced in the new NextGen Indigo format, eight of which opened on 1 April. This marks the pivot towards a 100% owned-and-operated business model in the country, added Huisamen.

    Select stores in the region will also introduce in-store tailoring services to offer greater personalization of apparel. According to Levi’s, as the retail market finds its new equilibrium, the company will focus on omnichannel engagement, leveraging the hybrid customer experience model. Some of the brand’s marketing plans for 2022 include leveraging the brand experiences with initiatives such as 501 Day and the Levi’s Music Project. 501 Day is a global campaign that commemorates the iconic blue jean receiving its official patent. Similarly, the Levi’s® Music Project is a programme that connects with and supports artists and aims to leave a more global footprint.

    Exciting consumer-facing events and activities in Bangkok will also be announced, Huisamen said, adding that more localised activities will be rolled out in key markets this year.

    D2C focus played a role in financial success

    Levi Strauss & Co., which owns Levi’s, Dockers, and Beyond Yoga, reported an 11% increase in net revenue on a reported basis in Asia during the first quarter of the year. The increase was driven by both its D2C and wholesale channels and most markets, despite a few markets continuing to experience COVID-related impacts.

    Direct to consumer (D2C) net revenues for the region increased 17% driven by strong performance in its company-operated stores, as well as eCommerce, which was up 22%. Wholesale net revenues increased 5% driven by strength of the Levi’s brand across several markets. Net revenues through all digital channels grew 17% and represented 14% of the segment’s sales in the quarter.

    Huisamen credits its success with placing consumer at the centre of everything it does and its focus on D2C. Huisamen cited the recent expansion into Thailand as an example of this. With Levi’s global D2C eCommerce increasing by 22% in the past year, the company prioritised its Thai eCommerce site and created a dedicated CRM programme as well, to respond to the omnichannel behaviour of its younger, digitally savvy target audience.

    With young consumers becoming a priority audience, Huisamen said that it is important the brand continue to adopt a digital-first mindset to better serve and appeal to them – both from a marketing and consumer standpoint. Levi’s has thus dialled up its social media presence locally with newly launched channels on platforms such as LINE, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. On top of that, there are brand collaborations and collections with other brands such as The Simpsons, BEAMS, Human Made and Levi’s® Fresh. These have already been rolled out in the region, and reflect the brand’s push to connect with younger audiences.

  • Louis Vuitton picks Shanghai for first furniture and homewares store

    Louis Vuitton picks Shanghai for first furniture and homewares store

    Louis Vuitton on Friday announced plans to open a dedicated furniture and homewares store in Shanghai, a world first for the French luxury brand as it aims to expand further into lifestyle offerings to affluent Chinese clients.

    The appointment-only showroom, which will open on Monday, is located in a century-old three-storey mansion situated just behind Nanjing Road, the city’s premier upscale shopping strip.

    Louis Vuitton, part of LVMH, said in a statement the showroom will be trialed for several months as a pop-up and if successful will then become a permanent feature.

    While no price tags were on show at the store during a media preview, a Louis Vuitton employee said a brightly hued hanging cocoon chair designed by the Campana brothers is priced at more than 700,000 yuan ($97,860) and a small lamp resembling a glass milk bottle encased in leather straps cost 10,500 yuan.

    A smaller side building is dedicated to showing designs by Frank Chou, the first mainland Chinese designer tapped by Louis Vuitton to collaborate on the Objet Nomades collection, as the furniture and homewares ranges is known.

    Finding new avenues for growth, particularly among wealthy consumers, is becoming increasingly important for luxury brands in China as COVID-19 curbs, a property market decline, and widespread economic uncertainty pressure luxury spending.

    Louis Vuitton dipped its toes into a more lifestyle-oriented offering in China last month when it opened a store in the southwestern city of Chengdu that included an exhibition space and restaurant.

    “LMVH is striving to … reposition itself as a contemporary luxury brand by tapping new avenues that resonate with dynamic Chinese Millennials and Gen Z consumers,” said GlobalData consumer analyst Bobby Verghese, whose firm reckons sales in China’s home sector will grow to $782 billion by 2026.

    Verghese sees homewares as a good bet for Louis Vuitton, especially in China.

    “Unlike their predecessors who prioritized privacy, the Gen Y digital immigrants and Gen Z digital natives are not averse to flaunting their lifestyles on social media,” Verghese said. “LMVH aims to gain an early-bird advantage in this emerging space.”

  • Alessandro Michele is stepping down as Gucci’s creative director

    Alessandro Michele is stepping down as Gucci’s creative director

    The company announced Wednesday that Alessandro Michele is stepping down as Gucci’s creative director. Michele, who has been with Gucci for 20 years, assumed the role in 2015. Before becoming creative director, he was in the company’s shoe and accessories department.

    “There are times when paths part ways because of the different perspectives each one of us may have,” Michele said in a statement released by Kering, the luxury goods brand that owns Gucci. “Today an extraordinary journey ends for me, lasting more than twenty years, within a company to which I have tirelessly dedicated all my love and creative passion.”

    Michele brought a genderfluid and maximalist aesthetic to the brand, which was a departure from Tom Ford’s sleek and provocative rebranding which saved the company in the 1990s.

    Kering wrote that Michele “has played a fundamental part in making the brand what it is today through his groundbreaking creativity, while staying true to the renowned codes of the House.”

    Dakota Johnson, Harry Styles and Lana Del Ray all led Gucci campaigns, which saw accelerated sales when Michele was in charge. Gucci’s revenue rose from just under €4 billion ($4.1 billion) in 2015 to €9.7 billion ($10 billion) in 2021. However, its success took a hit due to the pandemic, and now Gucci is looking to revamp.

    Michele described the people behind Gucci as his adopted family and thanked them in his statement. He left them with a wish: to continue to cultivate their dreams, “the subtle and intangible matter that makes life worth living.”

    “May you continue to nourish yourselves with poetic and inclusive imagery, remaining faithful to your values,” he said. “May you always live by your passions, propelled by the wind of freedom.”

    A new creative director has not yet been announced.

  • Mango introduces ‘New Med’ concept store to Asia

    Mango introduces ‘New Med’ concept store to Asia

    As part of its new store opening in Singapore, Spanish retailer Mango has debuted its ‘New Med’ concept for the first time in Asia, as it continues to follow through on its international expansion.

    The new 500 square metre space adds to its growth in the region, with it now operating 10 stores in Singapore following a number of openings in April this year.

    It comes as the brand celebrated 30 years of “international expansion” in 2022, as it continued to report on accelerated growth of development abroad.

    In a release, Mango said it will round out the year with around 270 new stores worldwide, bringing its retail network to approximately 2,600 stores across all five continents.

    Speaking on the topic, the company’s expansion director, Daniel López, said: “We are celebrating 30 years of international expansion by strengthening our commitment to Asia, one of the most important markets in the company’s internationalisation strategy and one in which we want to continue growing in the future.”

    Mango initially launched in the continent in 1995 with store openings in Singapore and Taiwan.

    It now currently operates over 450 stores in Asia, including company-owned locations and concessions in department stores.

    Among its presence in the region, Mango counts India as one of its key focuses for international expansion, with it opening 33 stores in the country between 2021 and 2022.

    In Europe, the retailer has also committed to developing in markets such as France, Italy and the UK, while outside its key expansion markets include the US and Canada.

  • Estee Lauder to buy Tom Ford in US$2.8 billion deal

    Estee Lauder to buy Tom Ford in US$2.8 billion deal

    Estee Lauder Cos. Inc. said on Tuesday it agreed to buy U.S. fashion label Tom Ford for US$2.8 billion, its biggest deal yet, adding a line of beauty products and apparel to the Clinique brand owner’s portfolio.

    Luxury companies have so far enjoyed steady demand for their products, but cracks are starting to show as decades-high inflation forces some customers to tighten their purses.

    Estee said this month U.S. retailers were cutting stocks of its products amid worries of a demand slowdown and lowered its full-year forecasts, hurt by lockdowns in China.

    While Estee Lauder already sells Tom Ford beauty products and fragrances, the deal has raised some eyebrows on Wall Street.

    “Given the strength of Tom Ford Beauty, especially in EL’s most significant long-term growth market of China, we understand the appeal of the deal, but handling the fashion businesses leaves some questions,” Raymond James analyst Olivia Tong wrote in a note dated Nov. 14.

    The deal is the latest in a series of acquisitions by Estee Lauder, including taking control of Ordinary skincare brand owner Deciem last year for about US$1 billion.

    As of Tuesday’s close, Estee’s stock fell 17% since the deal talks with Tom Ford were reported by the media in August.

    Last week, Tom Ford entered into exclusive negotiations with Estee Lauder, beating competing bids from companies including Gucci owner Kering SA, the Financial Times reported on Friday.

    Estee expects to fund the transaction through a combination of cash, debt and US$300 million in deferred payments to sellers that become due beginning in July 2025, the company said.

    Chief executive officer Tom Ford will continue to serve as the brand’s creative visionary.

    Perella Weinberg Partners LP served as financial adviser to Estee, while Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP was its legal counsel. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC was Tom Ford’s financial adviser and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP its legal counsel.

  • Gap to sell Greater China units to e-commerce firm Baozun

    Gap to sell Greater China units to e-commerce firm Baozun

    US apparel retailer Gap Inc has agreed to sell its Greater China businesses to Baozun Inc, the e-commerce service provider said on Tuesday, as headwinds persists for global consumer brands in the world’s second-largest economy.

    Dealmakers have seen opportunities for merger and acquisitions involving multinational firms that look to spin off their China units, as growth outlook in the country grappling with strict Covid-curbs remains uncertain amid intensifying competition with domestic brands.

    Earlier this year, American fast fashion retailer Forever 21 made its third effort to enter China after having left the market twice, while major sportswear companies Nike and Adidas lost ground to local brands Li Ning and Anta in recent years.

    China’s Baozun said its unit would acquire Gap Shanghai Commercial and Gap Taiwan Ltd, which operate the whole business of Gap Greater China, with a primary deal size of $40 million and no more than $50 million for adjustment.

    The Shanghai entity reported a net loss after tax of 256 million yuan ($35.34 million) for 2021, compared with 456.3 million yuan a year earlier, Baozun said in a filing. The Taiwan entity reported a post-tax net loss of T$199.8 million ($6.24 million) for the year ended January 29, 2022.

    The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and expected to be effective in the first half of 2023, Baozun said.

    Separately, Baozun said Gap has granted it an exclusive right to manufacture and sell its products in Greater China area. The arrangement can last two decades, with an initial term of 10 years that can be renewed twice for each five-year term.

    Amorepacific sees sharp plunge in sales

    South Korean beauty conglomerate Amorepacific has recorded a 15.6 percent year-on-year drop in sales for its third quarter of this year, with operating profit plummeting 62.6 percent to US$13.2 million.

    In its home market, revenue was down 18.6 percent with operating profit dropping 49.8 percent. Despite a 10 percent increase in online sales, the domestic performance failed to improve as revenue in the travel retail channel declined by a double-digit rate.

    Meanwhile, sales in China, which usually accounts for about 50 percent of the company’s Asian sales, declined by 40 percent due to “offline channel restructuring of major brands and the slowdown in cosmetics consumption”. The overseas business’s loss of $6.5 million was attributed to the contraction in China sales, resulting from the country’s zero Covid policy of rolling lockdowns and movement restrictions.

    In contrast to China, sales in other international markets saw improvement. Elsewhere in Asia, revenue jumped by around 20 percent due to the reopening of Southeast Asian borders. The group saw sales in North America and Europe surge by 97 percent and 60 percent respectively due to steady growth of its major brands.

    Amorepacific has been diversifying its international business, which previously heavily relied on China, rapidly expanding its portfolio in North America during the past year. In September, the group acquired the American beauty brand Tata Harper as a stepping stone for its regional expansion plan.

  • Shein chooses Tokyo for its first permanent store in the world

    Shein chooses Tokyo for its first permanent store in the world

    Fast fashion retailer Shein is set to open its first permanent store in the world – in Japan’s capital Tokyo.

    The store, located in the bustling fashion precinct of Harajuku, will open on November 13.

    Shein’s first brick-and-mortar store will display items and styling that caters to the Japanese market. Spanning 201sqm and two storeys, the store features three fitting rooms and an Instagrammable photo booth.

    Customers can purchase products by scanning the QR code on the tag through the Shein app. However, they cannot purchase on the spot at this store – the products are shipped to their home or office.

    The store announcement follows the launch of the Shein Osaka pop-up store, which will open for three months until January 27. Located in the western metropolis of Osaka, the pop-up store houses nine fitting rooms and displays about 800 items, ranging from men’s and women’s wear to home and pet products.

    Founded in 2008, Shein sells online in more than 150 countries and regions, mainly in the US and Europe, but not its home market China, where it produces its clothing. In February, the company shelved plans for its US market listing, according to Reuters.

  • Diesel Japan opens Ginza flagship

    Diesel Japan opens Ginza flagship

    Italian fashion retailer Diesel has launched its new flagship store in Japan, at Ginza Marronnier Gate 1, Tokyo.

    The shop, which features two floors, is designed by creative director Glenn Martins with red and white as the primary theme colors. Diesel says this renovation reflects a refreshed image and looks under Martins’s creative guidance.

    The first floor’s walls, which are red and white, reflect the brand’s red logo, and the store aims to create a spacious, airy feel by using metal racks that surround it. It also includes a big sofa, modern industrial modules, and resin shelves.

    On the other side, the basement floor also has red and white displays and walls, as well as cutting-edge architectural features. Customers can purchase an all-gender selection of denim, apparel, shoes, bags, and accessories from the Diesel Fall/Winter 2022 collection and runway looks. In addition, products from the Diesel Ginza limited and pre-sale collections are now accessible in the red look that debuted during the Diesel 22FW fashion show in Tokyo in June.

    Diesel has made Japan one of its main markets after spending more than 36 years there. The apparel company debuted its first Asia-sized flagship shop in Ginza in 2008 and its first large-scale global concept store in Tokyo’s Shibuya neighborhood in 2010.

    The brand is also growing in other markets like Singapore, Hong Kong, and Korea. In collaboration with RTG Consulting and Muse Group, Diesel launched China’s world’s first Diesel Hub last year. The 900sqm Hub combines dining and retail, with a restaurant named Diesel Brave Bar occupying nearly a fourth of the area.
