Based on the success of our Peak Chic and Roxy Life capsule last year, we re-introduced this season 2 products from those capsules. Peak Chic is oriented more for the girls who prefer a bit more feminine look when Roxy Life focuses more on the 90’s style Roxy product
How are you helping retailers to sell this category?

Did the restrictions at resorts last year impact the sell-through of the FW21/22 collection? If so, how have you addressed this issue?
The last 2 seasons have been tough for everyone, so like a lot of other brands we brought in some carry-over lines and reduced our assortment. This will help the stores to sell the product without having to discount it heavily

Have you had problems with the supply of FW21/22 product? If so, how have you addressed this issue, and will this result in changes to your FW22/23 sell-in?
We didn’t feel a huge impact on the factory side of things but rather in the logistics. We saw an increase in pricing and delays in delivery schedules. We tried not to let this effect the price of our end product and also put in our orders slightly earlier this year to have a buffer on any unexpected delivery delays
