Pre-IPO Belle Fashion Group – Performance Has Picked Up, but Not yet Reversed
- The core of Belle’s transformation is to inject “digitalization” into existing massive store assets, with strategy of “omnichannel+multi brands”. Belle also devotes significant resources to online channels and online-to-offline integration.
- Benefiting from the DTC retail model, Belle increases the probability of success when launching products. Licensing/acquisition are important ways to empower new brands and promote growth. Belle’s performance has rebounded.
- However, the path of transformation hasn’t yet been completed. Belle still mainly relies on heavy asset mode and is exposed to inventory risks. There ‘s still room for further improvement.
