It's a tough market out there right now for sure. Less brand loyalty, online competition, brands not being able to compete with the low prices of fast fashion etc. There are so many factors contributing to this situation... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-31#post-1884915 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 08:07:59 +0000 Jenni NZ 1884915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Inge, we've had a lot of high-profile fashion brands fail in NZ lately and here is an article from Stuff ( one of our main news websites).<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/100417331/why-fashion-brands-fail--from-topshop-to-andrea-moore">https://www.stuff.co.nz/busine.....drea-moore</a><br />I had hardly kept them going with 2 purchases from Kimberleys from 2011-2015, both on sale, and one from Topshop in 2012 when it was only a small concession in a bigger store. None from the others!&nbsp;I found it interesting that they don't think customers show much brand loyalty. I don''t think I show much, as there is so much choice.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-31#post-1884680 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 19:35:55 +0000 Inge 1884680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rachy. I thought this was interesting:</p> <p>"Manufacturers know that customers are more interested in low prices<br /> than durability, because they increasingly expect to wear their clothes<br /> just a few times and throw them away. <p>"So the quality's not as<br /> good, so when our customers get [an item] they're not getting two or<br /> three hundred wears out of it - they know it's only going to be a couple<br /> of uses," he says.</p> <p>That means, according to Fee Gilfeather, head<br /> of marketing for Oxfam's trading division, "more [clothing] is getting<br /> incinerated than there used to be.</p> Which is why both Oxfam and LMB say the future of clothes recycling<br /> might be "closing the clothing loop": figuring out a way to fully<br /> recycle these clothes into fabrics we might use." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-31#post-1884588 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 14:28:03 +0000 rachylou 1884588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Second hand clothing demand is down... <a href="https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/business-42777804" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/amp/s/w.....s-42777804</a></p> <p>That caught my attention. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-31#post-1884571 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 13:04:07 +0000 Inge 1884571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-31#post-1884193 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 07:42:01 +0000 Inge 1884193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaime, Suzanimal, and JAileen: thank you so much!
