H&M becomes first fashion retailer to use Circulose

The material is produced by re:newcell, a company that H&M as a group has supported since its inception. It uses discarded textiles and is able to “replace forest raw material, in commercial quantities, without compromising on the quality”. And the whole process that recycles the cotton and viscose fibres adds further to the circularity of Circulose because it uses a closed loop system for water and chemicals powered by renewable energy.คำพูดจาก สล็อตเว็บตรง

Luxury industry to bounce back in 2017

This acceleration is thanks, in large part, to Chinese consumers, whose domination of market demand continues to grow. China currently accounts for 31% of total demand, but this figure should increase to 34% by 2020, with more than 60% spending outside of China. This has also been decisive, in addition to the return of European consumers, who account for 19% of the market, according to Deutsche Bank’s study. Luxury consumers have been tempted by more attractive products and standardized prices. Geographically, major spending on luxury products occurs in Europe (33%), followed by the Americas (32%) and China (13%). 

Furthermore, more than half of demand is generated by tourism, a real market driver, with region-dependent variations: 58% in Europe, 55% in Asia, more than 20% in th…

Kendall and Kylie Jenner brand responds to claims that it did not pay garment workers

Pureplays and smartphones are biggest e-tail winners in worst October ever

On the plus side, the 6.2% rise was a slightly more positive result than the rolling averages for the last three, six and 12 months (+5%, +4.5%, and +5.1% respectively). But the increase was well below some of the much more impressive rises that we’ve become used to from the online channel in previous years. There were pockets of strength, however.
