Hudson Holdings Ltd’s Post

Nicolas Cano | Alibaba Group | Tmall; I read your post on LinkedIn about digital transformation and how it’s reshaping the interaction between brands and consumers. I fully agree that digitalization is revolutionizing these relationships. Personalized, real-time engagement allows brands to better understand and meet consumer needs, making seamless management of these digital interactions essential for building trust and loyalty. This evolution is particularly fascinating when we consider traditional luxury brands like John Lobb | Hermès Group, Although their shoes come with a higher price tag, the investment is justified by their exceptional craftsmanship and quality. The rubber sole improves traction, while the "studs" design ensures superior grip on slippery surfaces, blending functionality with style. Additionally, the Goodyear welted construction guarantees durability and comfort, making these shoes a long-term investment in both practicality and elegance. Despite the rise of digital trends, brands like John Lobb prove that timeless craftsmanship still holds immense value. In today’s world, success lies in blending digital convenience with the enduring appeal of quality and tradition. Cartier, Louis Vuitton, LVMH, CHANEL, Prada Group, Bvlgari, Gucci, Christian Dior Couture, Tiffany & Co., Valentino, Loewe, BALENCIAGA, Fendi, Burberry, Audemars Piguet.

We are glad to welcome officially John Lobb (Hermès Group) within Tmall Luxury Pavilion (Alibaba Group)

🔸This month, the British Luxury Footwear brand officially entered Tmall Luxury and opened its official flagship store. In the world of luxury footwear, few names evoke the same level of admiration and respect as John Lobb. With a history spanning over a century, the John Lobb brand has become synonymous with bespoke shoemaking of unparalleled craftsmanship and quality. Join us as we delve into the remarkable history of John Lobb, a brand that continues to epitomize the art of #bespoke shoemaking. Through generations of master shoemakers, John Lobb has remained true to its heritage, preserving the art of bespoke shoemaking and elevating it to new heights. Today, the brand's iconic shoes continue to be cherished by discerning individuals who seek more than just footwear but a personalized work of art that transcends time and trends.

🔸#British luxury brands have a rich culture heritage and very strong positioning and awareness. The consumption of luxury goods represents an aspiration for a certain lifestyle and a way to express self-identity, and French brands have been really good at capitalising on this, keeping their authenticity and yet finding their own way to modernise and embrace innovation.

🔸In 2024, Tmall Luxury continued to strengthen its “luxury lifestyle one stop destination” strategy welcoming Tiffany & Co. , Hublot, CHAUMET from LVMH , Calzaturificio Casadei s.p.a. , Flos &Tradition, Trudon, Rapha , John Lobb among others. Tmall Luxury Pavilion has always been at the forefront of building innovative digital experiences for luxury brands—we’ve long understood the importance of embracing these types of digital transformations. We believe it’s critical for brands to interact with consumers multi-dimensionally through new digital technologies.

🔸Since 2018, over 300 luxury brands have opened official Tmall flagship stores. As the main platform for brand operations, Tmall is the first e-commerce platform to bring together the five luxury goods giants: LVMH Kering CHANEL Hermès and Richemont. Thanks to John Lobb HQ & China Teams Nicholas Holt Sherry Xiao for your trust !
