According to theguardian.com,  French luxury house Hermès has reported a “remarkable” near-50% jump in sales in Asia as wealthy Chinese shoppers flocked to buy its colourful silk scarves and ultra-expensive handbags.

The Parisian company, whose leather handbags can be bought on the Hermès website for £4,000-£20,000 and whose silk scarves start at £265 for a bandana, said that in the final three months of 2020, sales in its Asian business, which includes China and Korea, were up 47%, helping make up for sales lost earlier during the coronavirus pandemic.

After a tough start to 2020, sales improved and were up 16% overall in the last three months of the year, which was ahead of analysts’ expectations.

Despite the late burst, full-year sales at Hermès, which is controlled by the billionaire Dumas family, finished down 6% at €6.4bn (£5.5bn). Profits were down 9%, to €1.4bn.

According to wikipedia,In psychology, a first impression is the event when one person first encounters another person and forms a mental image of that person. ... The first impressions individuals give to others could greatly influence how they are treated and viewed in many contexts of everyday life.

Gucci to Launch on Tmall as Kering and Alibaba Reconcile On Counterfeit Claims

From: businessoffashion.com

The move marks a sudden shift, after years of Gucci’s parent company Kering clashing with the Chinese luxury marketplace’s owner Alibaba. It comes as Kering announces plans to drop a five-year-old lawsuit against Alibaba over alleged counterfeiting, with the two companies agreeing to establish a task force to protect Kering’s brands and utilise Alibaba technology to snuff out fakes.

Gucci will launch two flagship stores on Tmall (one for fashion and one for beauty) on December 21.

The U-turn is a sign of how important the Chinese e-commerce market has become this year, as luxury spending globally dwindled. While Alibaba has been working to improve its reputation and establish trust with both customers and brand partners, luxury’s pandemic-induced slump and the rapid growth of China’s luxury market have pushed brands to establish local partnerships in the hopes of boosting their bottom lines.
