new Yoox codes and sales - post them here

[Medwed]



I have a theory on the increase in price- Yoox just started operating their site in China this past year; they know they've tapped into a Gold mine in terms of sales there, believe it or not the newly rich in that part of the world are willing to pay A LOT MORE than the western hemisphere for luxury goods.  (if you don't believe me, take a good look at the streets or the cars in Shanghai); people walk into car dealerships with backpack full of cash buying bentley and lamborghini (true story on their newspapers).  So gents I hope your dreambox item won't be snatched before they reach your desired sale level; just watch out.

I would not worry so much about Chinese. They are doing what Soviets were doing in the 1990s. The wave will pass and Chinese will be broke again.

I wouldn’t worry about them too much. Chinese only know big brands and names – which are actually rubbish. They are unaware of niche brands.

Has anyone else noticed prices increase at Yoox? I judge by looking at prices for Lardini and Brunello Cucinelli, even on a maximum discount they cost twice as they used to couple of years ago.

When the "financial meltdown" of 2008/2009 occurred, clothing and other high-end retailers had to change fast. The following year or so brought lots of overstock to non-traditional channels (yoox, B&S, gilt, etc.) but they've since adjusted. Those days are gone. There just aren't the great overstocks and fire-sales for cash-flow that were needed during those couple of years.

At least, that's my sense of it having gathered as much from people in the biz.

But it' s only a matter of time until yoox marketing will start to educate chinese on the niche brands t sells.

It won't matter. Give them crap and put huge price tag .brand them as lv or Hermes they will eat it. lol New money all they care is what is big ... Its like yoox can bring these Chinese to the water but yoox cant make them drink !
chines people buy lv or Hermes paper bags for gods sake ....

I agree, there are sales,but as everyone is seeing with Yoox, the flood of deals to be had from '08/'09 and even into '10 is pretty much over. Sales are usually structured, intentional, planned by retailers (and accounted for), floods of deals are because things went haywire - those are what made Yoox a bonanza for 2 or 3 years and just aren't going to happen until the next big surprise/collapse.

Like you, though, I'm still hunting

No matter what, Yoox still remains tha place to spot best bargains ever in the kingdom of internets. If you show me another place that sells good Rick leather for 600 euros, I'll say that Yoox is a *************. Until then....its the ****.

I remember they used to unload lots and lots of Raf, Marni or Jil until around 2011, not anymore though. You can still find tons of Dsquared these days

I've pretty much stopped shopping at local department store after I discovered Yoox. Since it is not offering such terrific price as it did, I simply scale back on spending and the number of articles I purchase. I think of it as wardrobe editing.

For some brands (e.g. LBM, Cantarelli, Hackett) discounts are still impressive. For some (e.g. BC, Lardini, Caruso) not so much. Does it mean that the former producers do not value their labour/overproduce stuff of a mediocre quality, and the latter items are more quality/costly in production? Or this fact has more to do with marketing?
