One of the key tool to achieve circularity in textile world

#licensing #concentration #acquisition all the luxury groups try to control the mains product categories, that in the past they manage signing a license. Perfume (beauty) & eyewear are two traditional products categories for licensing agreement, but we saw that Kering and LVMH , as an example, control now these 2 product categories through Kering Eyewear and Thélios for eyewear and regarding perfume LVMH is since a long time involved in this product category but Kering will be also, in a future, a player inside beauty market. #Footwear is also one important product category (such as watches) where licensing agreements are very present, and we understand easily that companies, with luxurious brand portfolio, want to control the footwear manufacturing in order to avoid to sign licensing agreement as they did in the past ,and also before building a solid distribution & retail network for their own brands. The OTB strategy is clear - Some luxury group such as ONWARD LUXURY GROUP INC, a company specialized in leather products (bag and footwear) for luxury brands will have a new competitor (they already loose the Jil Sander brand, time ago, now belonging to OTB) .

Elche as the epicentre of the footwear industry in Europe 👟🌍 Elche, in the province of Alicante, is the epicentre of the footwear industry in Europe. With an evolution from artisan workshops to modern factories, the city maintains high standards of quality and design. Marián Cano, from the footwear employers' association in the Valencian Community, points out that production in Elche is characterised by quality and on-time delivery. In 2022, Elche's footwear industry exported to more than 100 countries, reaching a record 3 billion euros in exports. Elche combines traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation, with companies such as Grupo Jover in Pinoso producing high quality moulds and machined parts. The shoe shank, an essential part in the midsole of footwear, ensures stability and durability, and Grupo Jover is a leading manufacturer of this key part. With its rich history and innovative capacity, Elche remains a benchmark in footwear manufacturing at a European and global level.

THE ETHICAREI CASE "Despite recent scandals over made-in-Italy products a small, virtuous supply chain is changing the rules. A year ago Caterina Occhio, Micaela Le Divelec Lemmi and Caterina Micolano founded ETHICAREI the first ethical supply chain in Italy guaranteed by the World fair trade organization. Ethicarei focuses on textile packaging, leather goods and footwear production, matching profit and nonprofit organizations and schools with workplaces, with the aim of increasing the inclusion and involvement of disadvantaged communities in companies and brands.” Read below the full article by Laila Bonazzi on LifeGate. #ETHICAREI #AroundTheWorld

OTB Group’s long-term strategy seeks to continue building high-profile know-how and production capacity with Made in Italy companies operating in strategic product categories. The Group has therefore announced the acquisition of a majority stake in Calzaturificio Stephen, a historic Italian manufacturer of luxury footwear, which has been supplying Group brands for more than twenty years. OTB will provide Calzaturificio Stephen with access to its resources, aiming at supporting the company’s further development and evolution in terms of technology, innovation, and sustainability. Renzo Rosso, Founder and Chairman of OTB Group, stated: “Made in Italy became our trademark, thanks to a close collaboration with the companies in our incredible supply chain: a unique asset that makes us extremely competitive on international markets. This is why as a Group we invest in local players who have built the reputation of Italian fashion around the world, to guarantee their continued growth and increasingly sustainable development”.  #OTB #OTBGroup #MadeInItalyMadePerfectly #MADEinItaly

✔ [An intense week, yet Fashion-Forward: aligning service with latest trends] Just waved goodbye to the vibrant energy of Pitti Uomo in Florence, and immediately I was on the move again! This time, heading north to dive into another intriguing event: Expo Riva Schuh & Gardabags. Actually, my participation aimed to find one or more non-Italian suppliers for specific requests from two foreign clients. Working with international clients has taught me that despite differences, the fundamental needs remain the same for everyone: excellent service, a proactive attitude, and a perfect balance between quality and price. Having well-defined projects and significant order quantities is key to gaining attention and collaboration internationally. The product development management may vary, but with my solid experience in the Italian industry, I ensure the transfer and strict control of production specifications, no matter the location. A practical example: tackling the challenge of raw materials, especially leathers, is complex. It's not always possible to match Italian quality. However, with the right knowledge and network, a distinctive product can be created that reflects a diverse and international taste. Speaking more about the fair, I noticed a worrying trend: once bustling stands now empty, and suppliers reducing their minimum order quantities (MOQ). This is a clear signal that the industry is undergoing a period of introspection and reorganization. It's time to revisit strategies and act decisively. 🔄 Resilience is key in these transition times. Staying agile, reflective, and adaptable becomes crucial to navigate these uncertain waters. 🤝 If you're looking for a partner who understands the global language of production and can navigate the complexities of international collaborations, contact me. Together, we can overcome barriers and create products that combine style and quality, anywhere in the world. #IsabellaPagnaniniIFPD #IsabellaPagnanini #Expo Riva Schuh #productmanager #sostenibilità #obiettivi #trasparenza #moda #innovazione #fashion #style #madeinitaly #shoes #scarpe #abbigliamento #artigiani #artigianato #partner #talenti #eccellenza #italianshoes #scarpeitaliane #luxory #footwear #italianstyle #footweardesign #footwear #fashionstyle #fashiondesigner #fashiondesign #ricerca #people #culture #like #art #opportunities #work #connections #clothing #luxurybrand #shoes #FashionTech
