fashion Shops happy

The stores were asking for the postponement. Due to the outbreak of the corona virus must be in the shops after the doors are shut. The postponement of the sales, allowing them one month longer, at normal prices, to sell to them. “We’re very pleased,” says Isolde, Delanghe, executive director of the Fashion Union, the industry organisation for the self-employed modedetailhandel.

However, the sector is missing an opportunity to get to the lock-up period – the period prior to the sale, in which no advertising may be made for the discounts – not to expand it. The industry is afraid of, the breaking out of the “price war”, the high street stores, as soon as the shops re-open as can be.

That fear is also in the Neutral Syndicate for the self-employed (NSZ). “It’s a shame that there will be no further lock-up period is, as soon as the stores open,” says NSZ president Christine Mattheeuws. “Now, is there a period of time, from pre-sales to come up, which is where the self-employed, the brunt of it is going to be. What We fear is going to be a bloodbath in the industry.”

Handelsfederatie Comeos calls for the postponement of the sale of a “bad” decision. “The start-up will be challenging, but as one of the important sales period behind the unit, then the gate is totally out of hand,” according to Comeos to the CEO, Dominique Michel. At the time of the start-up we are going to really put the brakes”. The delay is bad news for the purchasing power of the consumer is heard by Comeos.

The handelsfederatie also points to the competition of the neighboring countries. As well as in Belgium, no sale in July, according to Comeos, then it will be the consumers that will be quite a bargain to do so in the neighbourhood of the external websites.
