We believe Claires represents a Girls Best Friend and a favorite shopping destination for teens, tweens, and kids. Claires target customer is a girl between 3-18 years old with a particular focus on a core demographic of girls between 10-14 years old. According to our estimates, we have over 95% brand awareness within this target demographic in our largest markets. Claires now has a presence in 47 countries through the 2,720 company operated Claires stores in North America, Europe and China, and 414 franchised stores in numerous other international geographies. Our Icing brand targets a young woman in the 18-35 year age group with a focus on our core 21-25 year olds who have recently entered the workforce. This customer is independent, fashion-conscious, and has enhanced spending ability. We believe that expansion of our Icing store base both in existing and new markets over time presents a significant opportunity to leverage our core merchandising, sourcing and marketing expertise to cater to a wider demographic.
Leader in the luxury industry for over 85 years, Fendi began its legendary story in 1925, when Edoardo Fendi and Adele Casagrande opened a leather goods boutique with a small fur workshop in the back. Nearly a century later, the innovative leather and fur craftsmanship that has always distinguished Fendi lives on. Constantly inspired by the magic of Rome, the House of Fendi has thrived on its enviable heritage becoming a unique and coveted icon of luxury. Over the years, the Fendi legacy has reached new levels of expansion and success thanks to the bold stylistic vision of the 5 Fendi sisters, followed by the creative genius of Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Venturini Fendi, who revolutionized and reinterpreted Fendi’s excellence. From the iconic Baguette and Peekaboo bags, to the avant-garde ready-to-wear collections and outstanding furs, Fendi’s collections embody a daring creativity that have crowned the Maison as a true and refined symbol of glamour, expertise and experimentation. Part of the LVMH Group since 2001, Fendi is now active in all creative worlds and continues its longstanding relationship with the world of cinema and art and design, which have deeply marked its history. Fueled by an ambitious retail plan of new openings, Fendi currently boasts 200 stores worldwide with future plans to expand in all markets.
