    Burberry launches global Animal Kingdom popups

    Luxury fashion house Burberry is launching Animal Kingdom popups globally to celebrate its signature bags and accessories.

    The pop-ups will feature large-scale sculptures of monkeys, gorillas, and birds of paradise inspired by “the power and symbolism of animals” according to the label’s chief creative officer Riccardo Tisci.

    The product range features exclusive editions of signature Burberry leather goods, including the Pocket Bag and the TB Bag with a distinctive clasp featuring his initials. The exclusive pieces also include silk scarves, card cases, and jewelry.

    To celebrate the launch, Burberry has teamed with Snapchat to introduce an in-store gamified experience. Users will experience Burberry’s Animal Kingdom world by scanning the Snapcodes embedded in the pop-ups.

    Burberry has also partnered with Wildlife Works to make the pop-ups carbon neutral.

    “Aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals, the initiative focuses on agroforestry, sustainable farming, and conservation techniques to relieve deforestation,” the company said in a statement.

  • Thai government bans online liquor purchase

    Thai government bans online liquor purchase

    Thailand is to ban the sale of alcohol online because the government says it is too difficult to ensure broader liquor sales are being respected.

    The decision has been signed off by Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, who said that alcoholic drinks have become a popular item traded via e-commerce, creating difficulties in oversight.

    Thailand’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Act BE 2551 sets legal limits for the sale of alcohol that have proved impossible to adequately enforce on digital trading, which has presented problems in controlling the date, time, venue, and target groups buying alcohol.

    Thai law prohibits the sale of alcohol in retail stores before 11 am, between 2 pm and 5 pm and after midnight. The kingdom also has numerous full-day bans throughout the year including Buddhist holidays and days in which elections are scheduled.

    According to the Prime Minister’s announcement, prohibited activities include the direct sale of alcohol online, as well as persuasion, introducing alcoholic products or related services via electronic channels that allow for retail transactions for alcohol to occur without physically meeting.

    It does not include in-person electronic transactions such as purchases made by digital means in restaurants and stores.

    The ban will be put into place within 90 days of being published in the Royal Gazette.
