Zalando expands range of luxury & designer goods

// The Zalando Designer category has signed over 50 labels this year
// From next month the retailer will be partnering with international designer platform Not Just A Label

Zalando is pushing ahead with an expansion of its luxury category as it looks to establish its online fashion and lifestyle platform as a “credible, fresh and inclusive partner ” for luxury and designer brands.

This year, the fashion platform has welcomed more than 50 new luxury goods brands, including Missoni, Christopher Kane, 032C and Mansur Gavriel within its Zalando Designer category.

Alongside the new brands on the platform, Zalando will, from September onwards, also be collaborating with the international designer platform Not Just A Labe (NJAL), founded in 2008.

NJAL gives designers the chance to present their work to a global audience and will, in future, bring various emerging brands from different backgrounds to Zalando Designer.

Anaheta Metghalchi von Berenberg, buying director Designer at Zalando, said: “By 2025 it is expected that Gen-Z and Millennials will conduct the majority of luxury purchases. We are uniquely positioned to provide our customers – among them a high share of Gen-Z and Millennials – with an incredible cross-category offering in an online environment.

“We are doubling down on the Designer category by elevating the brand mix, assortment and the dedicated onsite experience. Together with our partners, we want to focus on growing our more sustainable and more diverse and inclusive designer and luxury assortment to contribute to positive change for our customers and the industry.”

Zalando has also launched a dedicated marketing campaign called ‘Luxury on Your Terms’ to support growth in the category.

It is an interactive video series starring the American actor Lachlan Watson and customers can buy the collections from the series on Zalando.

Earlier this year, Zalando introduced a new and personalised Zalando Designer onsite experience as a means of inspiring customers and  helping them to discover the luxury assortment in a dedicated environment. This includes bespoke “designer brand homes” from where labels can display their stories behind the design and present seasonal editorials with handpicked collections, similar to the window of a luxury department store.

Eagle Labs launches impirica CBD brand

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...

"Since opening our doors in 2017, we have pushed for the best guest-experience possible — that's why our dough is 100 percent naturally leavened, that's why we have a purpose-built 400-square-foot pick-up and delivery area, and that's why we’ve launched a direct-to-consumer subscription-based ecommerce platform,” said Founder & CEO Ali Khan Lalani. “In 2020, providing the best guest experience means General Assembly Pizza has to be more than a restaurant. I'm proud to say that after almost six months of planning, many roadblocks, and countless pivots — all while maintaining our day-to-day restaurant operatio...
