近日,Prada集团CEO Patrizio Bertelli致信旗下Terranuova和Arezzo两间工厂的2,000名工人,表示集团正计划逐步恢复工厂的各项工作,并制定新的防疫措施。
集团为即将复工的员工准备了“防疫包”:每人每天两个口罩、两副手套,并在其工作台旁准备了酒精凝胶。员工每天进入工厂前也需要测量体温。
根据当地媒体的报道,当工厂复工的时候,生产和仓库区域的员工数量也会有所减少,并特别制定轮班计划,来避免人员聚集、确保安全距离。
包括意大利男装品牌主理人Bertelli在内的其他当地企业家都表示,目前在中国市场已经开始明显复苏,希望能够能尽快恢复生产,以满足市场(尤其是中国市场)的需求。
“We have to be ready.” said Prada Group CEO PatrizioBertelli in a letter to 2,000 workers of the factories in Terranuova and in theprovince of Arezzo.
He explains that the Prada group – forced to remainstationary until May due to the lockdown is already planning to resume workwith new precautions and motivations.
Prada employees (all currently on lay-offs) will return towork and be handed a kit already prepared by the company: two masks per headper day, plus two pairs of gloves. The gel, next to the station. Thermometersare also provided to measure the temperature at the factory entrance.
With the reopening of industrial activities, according towhat reported by the local press, a smaller presence of staff is expected inthe production and warehouse areas, with ad hoc shifts to avoid crowding andensure safety distances.
Bertelli, like other entrepreneur colleagues, hoped to beable to start the engines of the factories this week, to meet market demands,starting with China, which is showing signs of recovery.

近日,Rolex及其姊妹品牌Tudor、Patek Philippe、CHANEL以及Chopard等5个行业头部品牌宣布退出巴塞尔钟表展,并将联合瑞士高级钟表基金会(FHH)在日内瓦创立一个新的钟表贸易展。
据了解,不少品牌参展商对于主办方MCH集团单方面取消本届展会、并推迟至2021年1月举办的行为表示不满,参展费用也并未退还。此外,一些参展品牌也表示,展会已经无法满足品牌与市场保持紧密联系的需求。
新钟表贸易展预计在2021年4月早些时候开幕,并联手FHH旗下Watches & Wonders机构,选址日内瓦Palexpo会展中心。Patek Philippe总裁Thierry Stern表示,新展会将主要针对零售商,媒体和VIP客户。
CHANEL钟表珠宝高级副总裁Frédéric Grangié表示:与其他参展商相同,CHANEL保持着独立性,并同样渴望保护和推动瑞士制表业的价值、专业知识、最高质量和精度。此次举办新展会,是CHANEL制表史上的一个重要里程碑,并将作为品牌一项长期战略的一部分。
Chopard联合总裁Karl-Friedrich Scheufele表示,尽管品牌于1964年就参加了巴塞尔钟表展,但此次经过深思熟虑,决定支持Rolex的决定。此外,与Watches & Wonders的合作也将更好地帮助品牌为合作伙伴和客户提供服务。
In an official statement the participants explain that“this departure follows a number of unilateral decisions made withoutconsultation by Baselworld management, including the postponement of the watchshow until January 2021, as well as its inability to meet the brands’ needs andexpectations.”
This new show, which will be held early April 2021, willbe linked to Watches & Wonders, organized by the Fondation de la HauteHorlogerie, and will take place at Palexpo.
“This new event will be geared predominantly towardsretailers, the press and VIP customers.” Thierry Stern of Patek Philippe said“The decision to leave Baselworld was not an easy one to take for me”
Frédéric Grangié, President of Chanel Watches & FineJewellery said: “Like its partners, CHANEL shares the same independence and thesame desire to protect and promote the values, know-how, utmost quality andprecision of Swiss Watchmaking.
This initiative marks a key milestone in the history ofCHANEL Watchmaking and is part of a long-term strategy, which began with thelaunch of this activity in 1987. This exhibition will allow us to present allof our new creations in an environment that meets our high-quality standards.”
Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, Co-President Chopard et Cie SAsaid: “Chopard first exhibited at the Basel fair in 1964 with a stand of some25 square metres. After careful consideration, our family decided to supportthe Rolex initiative and retire from Baselworld – a painful decision.”

Half of U.S. consumers to drastically reduce spending
新冠疫情影响美国人消费方式:半数消费者支出大幅减少
来源:Cpp-Luxury
根据麦肯锡最近发布的一项研究表明,新冠疫情的全球蔓延造成了重大经济动荡,尽管美国消费者对经济的复苏持乐观态度,但仍有不少人正计划缩减开支。
根据报告显示,46%的受访消费者表示,经济环境的不稳定性对其消费支出造成了很大影响,并会在未来缩减开支;另外有44%的消费者表示,将会推迟购买。
在此期间,服装、鞋履、家居甚至是旅游、户外娱乐等方面的消费都受到了巨大冲击。反而美国消费者在家庭娱乐、食品杂货、家居用品等方面的消费支出,要比居家隔离前花费的更多。
同时,受访的消费者表示,未来会将消费支出集中在线上渠道。这也是受Z世代、千禧一代,以及高收入群体的推动。
此外,在疫情期间,美国消费者的消费方式也发生了其他转变,比如有15%的消费者正使用新的网站来采购生活必需品,13%的消费者更换了常去的杂货店。街边餐厅和到店取货的服务分别有10%和8%的消费者认可。
总体而言,美国消费者对疫情后经济复苏的可能性仍然比较乐观:有37%的人预计经济会在两到三个月内反弹,而只有13%-26%同阶层欧洲消费者对此观点表示赞同。年收入超过100,000美元的高收入消费者是最乐观的一部分人群。
该报告样本数据于2020年3月30日至4月5日采集。
With Covid-19 continuing to cause major economicdisruption around the world, a new study from McKinsey & Company hasrevealed that although American consumers are relatively optimistic about theeconomy’s recovery, many are planning on cutting their spending.
46% of U.S.consumers surveyed by McKinsey & Company stated that they will be reducingtheir spending over the next two weeks due to the uncertain economic climatecreated by the ongoing health crisis, while 44% said that they will delaypurchases.
In particular, discretionary purchases, including apparel,footwear and home furnishings, as well as travel and out-of-home entertainment,will be hit hard. In other categories, such as in-home entertainment, groceriesand household supplies, U.S. consumers are actually expecting to spend more asthey attempt to deal with social distancing measures.
Consumers are also anticipating that their spending willbe focused online in the coming weeks, a shift being driven principally by GenZ and millennials, along with higher-income consumers.
And this isn’t the only change occurring in consumerbehaviour during the coronavirus crisis. 15% of consumers, for example, areusing new websites to shop for basics, while 13% have switched their primarygrocery store. Curbside restaurant and store pick-up have been adopted by 10%and 8% of consumers, respectively.
Overall, American consumers remain relatively optimisticabout the possibility of economic recovery following the pandemic. 37%currently expect the economy to rebound within two to three months, while only13%-26% of their European counterparts agree. Higher income consumers makingmore than $100,000 per year were the most optimistic U.S.-based consumers.
McKinsey & Company’s findings are based on survey datacollected from U.S. consumers between March 30 and April 5, 2020.
