Luxury manufacturers are having a hard time trying to keep up with dropping sales and narrower margins. Hence, a luxury company that can actually claim to make a profit today is definitely worth praising for. Many companies are finding it hard to hold on to market shares and profit margins. But, for Tod’s shoes, this is not the case as they happen to be reporting profit from the previous fiscal, which is definitely worth a big accolade.
It is not just profit, but also the fact that the profit margins of the previous year were higher than the year before that. While a decent number of companies did manage to remain profitable, they definitely were not able to have a positive growth. In such a tumultuous economy, Tod’s continued to be profitable and even post a growth of 0.8% compared to the year before that. Hence, this is something worth noting and even raving about.
Bulk of this growth can be attributed to Tod’s shoes which helped push the revenue even further. The sales of the shoes had increased by over 4% compared to the previous year. Leather goods had a drastic fall in the sales of around 12%, which can be due to the high price of these commodities.
Another interesting feature to note was that bulk of the increase in revenue came from the Asian and Italian market, while the European and American markets only had decline in sales in pretty much every aspect. Hence, it looks like Tod’s shoes are definitely popular even in the eastern countries.
Are you talking about “Fashion statement”? What comes to your mind first? Young and beautiful women! Designer handbags! Gucci, Prada, and Hogan’s eye-catching accessories! Do you imagine only women, when its come to fashion? But I literally do not! Now the time is changing, you will find more men than women being stylish and maintaining fashion statements! There is no doubt that we all want to look fashionable and want to move according to the trend. But how many of us are really trendy and stylish? Wearing expensive designer clothes and Hogan shoes is not at all considered stylish or has nothing to do with style statement!
Now men like to wear different types of accessories like bracelets, neck accessories, stylish earrings, and beautiful hair bands. They do each and every thing now to look fashionable. Men go to parlor and get their facial done; they even take different beauty treatments to look more handsome. They use latest Prada designer fabrics and accessories.
Nowadays, men are giving more stress on their style and fashion. They do not want to skip any chance to impress their girlfriend or wife. The meaning of fashion statement has totally changed and has become much more advanced and fashiona
ble. Accessories are normally meant for girls and have nothing to do with men. But these days I have seen many men wearing designer bracelets and carrying Hogan handbags, which are especially designed for men. Oh cool Guyz on look out!
