China’s insatiable growing demand for designer g

China’s insatiable growing demand for designer goods has propelled Alibaba’s logistics arm Cainiao into launching direct cargo flights between Singapore and Hainan Island in China, to bolster the supply of duty-free products to shoppers. Before the pandemic, Chinese consumers purchased the majority of their luxury goods abroad on shopping trips. However, high-end boutiques have been cleared out since the halt of global travel and subsequently @lvmh derived almost half of its revenue directly from Asian retail in the first quarter. The pandemic has helped achieve the Chinese government’s goal of bringing spending back home, with incentives such as lifting spending purchases on single products. James Zhao, the GM of Cainiao’s supply chain expects the size of cargo volume through Hainan to grow more than tenfold within three years. #chinaretail

Fashion retailer @hm is launching a free suit rent

Fashion retailer @hm is launching a free suit rental model to bolster jobseekers' prospects at interviews. Recognising that it takes just one second for a potential employer to assess a job candidate, the ONE/SECOND/SUIT scheme offers free 24 hour suit rental from the H&M Man range. The aim is to boost applicants' confidence, while also helping them make a positive first impression. The rental market for clothes has grown, partly as a reaction to environmental worries around fast fashion. The campaign has been running in the UK since 15 April, and a test period will launch in the US on 13 May. #suit #sustainability #KekoGroup #KeepVerging

Apple’s all-new product category, AirTag, is a small, wireless tracker that is designed to be clipped onto household keys or purses to keep track of their whereabouts, syncing seamlessly with an iPhone. Comparable gadgets have been around for almost a decade, such as the @tile. However, the AirTag is one of the first consumer electronics to support a new wireless technology, Ultra-wideband, which lets you detect the precise proximity between objects, far exceeding the current Bluetooth technology. Frederic Nabki, chief technology officer of Spark Microsystems suggested ‘this is the tip of the iceberg’ with the potential to revolutionise wireless earphones, video games – you name it. @tile’s chief executive seemingly agrees after complaining in an antitrust hearing that @apple was leveraging technology ‘to allow it to do things that our product can’t’. Ultra-wideband could revolutionise the future of wireless devices, with an Apple branded solution. #AirTag #uwbtechnology #KekoGroup #KeepVerging

Are non-fungible tokens the future of art? In its first ever digital art auction, Christie’s sold a compilation of 5,000 artworks by Beeple for a staggering $69 million. The artwork broke the world record for any digital work, making Beeple the third most valuable living artist in the world. Industry players, such as the high-end watchmaker and jeweller Jacob & Co, are keen to monopolise the exclusivity of NFTs, announcing the world’s first NFT watch, a move towards brands collaborating with crypto art creatives. Gucci are also reportedly close to launching their own non-fungible tokens as limited-edition 3D clothing. The emphasis on the the diversity of ownership is unique to NFTs; from art, music and, most recently, a virtual home that offers a new realm of escapism from daily life. But the question is, will the NFT value endure? #NFT #cryptoart #KekoGroup #KeepVerging

Introducing eco-labels. Forward-thinking fashion brands are redesigning their clothes labels by adding information about the carbon emissions involved in the production of their garments. Providing this extra layer of information allows customers to better manage their fashion purchases, leading to more sustainable behaviour and longevity-led decisions. @yoox are one of the brands leading the way by planning to digitise their labels with the use of QR codes, which customers can scan to access information like care advice. Similarly, @allbirds have started labelling their products with a number to represent their associated CO2 emissions. Their ambition is to create a future where carbon labelling on clothing will be as commonplace as nutrition labels are on food packaging. #ecolabels #sustainable #KekoGroup #KeepVerging
