The sale of caps dramatically increased by 25% in August 2019, which was due to a new season of Peaky Blinders coming out. The Fleabag effect was another trend which came from the new TV series, and this involved wearing black jumpsuits with red lips. The product with the highest % growth on the previous year were reusable straws, and they were up 1573%. Stephen Cawley is the head of sustainability and reasonable sourcing. Easter and Halloween decorations are some of the seasonal products that sales decreased on, by 30% since the previous year. Finally, JOMO is a new saying that has been widely recognised this year as 'Joy Of Missing Out'.]]> 2020-10-22 14:58:49 UTC https://padlet.com/400889251/4cuty2k32ng243gm/wish/852781933 400889251 https://padlet.com/400889251/4cuty2k32ng243gm/wish/1206479246 Zalando reported a massive profit increase for the end of 2020, with revenue growing by 20-22% rather than the 15-20% predicted.

Josè Neves, Chairman, Founder and CEO put this down to a 'shift in favour of online luxury'. In-store revenue also increased YoY, even with Covid restrictions in place. This was driven by them acquiring the New Guards Group in the previous year, which includes labels: Off-White, Palm Angels, Heron Preston and Alanui. Farfetch is definitely a company ahead of others, driving the switch to an accelerated online luxury space. Farfetch recently announced a partnership with Alibaba and Richemont, with the goal to bring luxury into the next generation. I think it is very important for these online luxury retailers to focus in on exactly what their customers are looking for, in order to maximise profit and start this new transition.]]> 2021-02-16 11:10:54 UTC https://padlet.com/400889251/4cuty2k32ng243gm/wish/1206487151 400889251 https://padlet.com/400889251/4cuty2k32ng243gm/wish/1225710535 2021-02-22 10:17:53 UTC https://padlet.com/400889251/4cuty2k32ng243gm/wish/1225710535 400889251 https://padlet.com/400889251/4cuty2k32ng243gm/wish/1225711625 2021-02-22 10:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/400889251/4cuty2k32ng243gm/wish/1225711625 400889251 https://padlet.com/400889251/4cuty2k32ng243gm/wish/1268472790 2021-03-04 11:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/400889251/4cuty2k32ng243gm/wish/1268472790 400889251 https://padlet.com/400889251/4cuty2k32ng243gm/wish/1268474641 2021-03-04 11:49:07 UTC https://padlet.com/400889251/4cuty2k32ng243gm/wish/1268474641 400889251 https://padlet.com/400889251/4cuty2k32ng243gm/wish/1268531026 This article looks at yarns made from animal and plant-based fibres to lessen the environmental impact of knitwear and jersey products.

This region makes up for 85% of China’s and 20% of the world’s cotton, the report found, and it is “very likely” that any cotton from Xinjiang may involve coerced labour.
