Shein to market its supply-chain technology to global brands
Through a new initiative — dubbed "supply chain as a service" by Executive Chairman Donald Tangn in a letter to investors — Shein says it plans to make its supply-chain infrastructure and technology available to other brands. Shein's small-batch manufacturing model allows brands to test new fashion items in smaller batches and track their popularity. This move comes as Shein faces pushback from Western regulators and competition from budget retailer Temu. {Wall Street Journal/paywalled}
Batsheva to open its first store
Batsheva is opening its first-ever store in New York City's Soho neighborhood. The space features green fabric draping the walls, a glossy red ceiling and an abstract painted animal-print floor. "This is how I want to present my stuff," Designer Batsheva Hay told Vogue. "I had stopped making some one-of-a-kind pieces, that are more fitted and tailored, or were too challenging to photograph when you're only presenting stuff online; so here I can put things out and just see if they work." The store, located at 166 Elizabeth St., will be open to the public beginning on Friday, March 22 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. {Vogue/paywalled}
