Same bsusiness they sell clotheS for a certain demographic, they let boohoo/PLT take away market share year after year and done nothing about it. That’s just a fact.Topshop and PLT/Boohoo are different kind of businesses though, PLT and Booboo copy the Topshop items, make 500 of them for £2 each and sell them for £30, stuff is designed and uploaded onto the site within weeks. Whereas Topshop have brick and mortar stores, will need to produce 20000 of the items and even though they are not exactly long lasting its not the wear once and throw away items that PLT/Boohoo produce.
Removing £1.2 billion 15 years ago was a shocking decision and he would have renoved a lot more since but if Topshop followed those online brands then theyd have gone out of business a lot quicker. Sure PLT tried the brick and mortar path and had to close as they just couldnt make it work.
Topshop name will be bought by somebody who just keeps the site and sells the cheap sweatshop made dresses that everyone was kicking off about last year but then totally forgot about it and carried on buying them.
Another fact is paying a divy to his wife (fake owner) has now come back and certainly not helped as that investment in the digital platform, brand perception and multiple other areas may have give them further longevity.
and for your comments on PLT/boohoo they are certainly not throw away, the Kamani brothers are the geniuses green thought he was 15 year ago.
