    Stussy launching new store in Japan, Nagoya

    American fashion label Stussy has opened a new store in Nagoya, its 46th outlet in Japan.

    Located in Sakae, the store was designed by WP & A and offers Stussy’s full selection of apparel, accessories and footwear, including a limited-edition collection.

    The store facade features floor-to-ceiling windows with black frames. A small sign showing the brand name is installed at the corner of the store’s front – barely noticeable in images.

    The store interior features wooden and metal shelves together with wood sculptures. The walls are painted in a half-white, half-grey style while two rows of LED lighting are installed on the ceiling. Several greenery corners balance the design.

    Stussy operates more than 60 outlets across more than 10 regions including the US, Australia, Singapore and Taiwan.

  • Warm weather chills TSI Holdings bottom line

    Warm weather chills TSI Holdings bottom line

    With unseasonably warm weather at the end of last year dampening demand for winter clothing, Japanese apparel retailer TSI Holdings had weaker earnings for the year ended February 29.

    Its operating profit was flat at about 1 billion yen (US$8.86 million), falling short of a 1.2 billion yen projection. Sales fell about 9 per cent to 165 billion yen against a predicted 167 billion yen.

    Same-store sales, including online data, eased 3.6 per cent, with dips of 8 per cent for November and 4.1 per cent for December. High-margin items such as wool overcoats from mainstay brand Natural Beauty Basic met lukewarm demand.

    During the quarter, the company opened 58 stores for 21 brands, and has been negotiating with domestic and overseas apparel and natural cosmetics companies, leading to partnerships with a Chinese apparel company and a domestic beauty industry company.

    TSI also reports a “drastic shift” from paper media to digital promotion, and is enhancing its relationship with Google. This follows its eCommerce ratio growing from 9.6 to 10.8 per cent.

    Almost all brands’ O2O sites are now on the table, says the group, which is developing smartphone apps. Four brands opened sites – Free’s Mart, Jill Stuart, Natural Beauty and Zio Bernardo. Free’s Mart also became the first Japanese brand launched on the Zalora eCommerce site in Southeast Asia.

    The group’s own eCommerce sites grew 129 per cent year-on-year, from 11 to 20.

    TSI has 14 apparel subsidiaries in Japan and three overseas, and its 63 brands include Adore, Callaway, High Street, Nano Universe and Stussy.
