Luxury rental service Armarium to cease operations
The rental industry may be rising in popularity, but Armarium, a rental service which offered luxury designers such as Bottega Veneta and Maison Margiela, will cease operations starting March 7. The company struggled with the cost and logistics of a rental business, which relies heavily on customer service and consumer data. Armarium co-founder Trisha Gregory believes there’s still chance for this type of business in the future, as she tells Business of Fashion “It’s just a matter of time before this is an offering that is for sure plugged into most global luxury brands and retailers.” {Business of Fashion}
ASOS announces 30% reduction in operational carbon emissions per order
ASOS, one of the largest online retailers, has revealed in its annual carbon report that it has achieved 30% reduction in operational carbon emissions, which became a goal back in 2015 with its Carbon 2020 strategy. The strategy focused on reducing emissions related to customer deliveries and returns, packaging, energy efficiency and switching to renewable energy sources. Although the retailer has reduced emissions within business operations, it is still conducting research into reducing emissions associated with manufacturing through its Sustainable Clothing Action plan. The retailer will also be announcing newer targets later this year. {Fashionista Inbox}
