Sheep Inc links with The Seam for repair services
The regenerative knitwear brand, has announced the launch of The Knit Clinic — a dedicated repair and care service created in partnership with The Seam.
It reinforces the label's long-standing 'commitment to circularity and garment stewardship by offering customers an easy, professional way to maintain and extend the life of their knitwear'.
Through The Seam's digital platform, customers can book a range of aftercare services, from stitch repairs and reblocking to de-pilling and general refresh treatments. All services are carried out by experienced makers with specialist knitwear expertise.
It's just gone live on Sheep Inc's website and is available to all UK-based customers. Once booked, garments are collected, repaired or refreshed, and returned directly to the customer — usually within a few days.
It comes a couple of months after Sheep Inc took another circularity-focused step and 'reimagined' the swim category via The Merino Swimshorts.
Made entirely from fully traceable natural fibres, engineered for performance and 'built to return to the earth', it's created from Reda Active 100% ZQ-certified Merino wool, with a Yarnaway biodegradable lining 'that leaves no trace, no microplastics, and no compromises'.

Gucci staff in Italy take industrial action over welfare payment dispute
Employees at fashion house Gucci in Italy are threatening strike action, accusing the Kering -owned brand of denying them a welfare bonus, Italian trade unions said on Tuesday. Around 1,000 retail and logistics employees across Italy declared a "state of unrest", the unions said, which under Italian labour laws is a form of industrial action that can lead to strikes. The Filcams Cgil, Fisascat Cisl and Uiltucs unions said in a joint statement that they might announce potential action at a later stage. Gucci did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment. The unions said that Gucci had previously given them assurances regarding the payment of a welfare bonus for 2025, as set out in an agreement for the 2022-2024 period. They claim that this agreement remains valid in the absence of a new deal. However, Gucci now wants to tie the welfare payment to a broader review of incentive schemes for the 2022-24 period, unions said, rejecting the proposal as unacceptable. "The company (...) has only wasted precious time, making a mockery of the workers who dedicate themselves daily in stores and have been waiting, and continue to wait, for the welfare payment," their statement said. Florence-based Gucci is Kering's star brand, but it has struggled with falling sales in recent years, dragging down the entire French luxury conglomerate which is now pinning its turnaround hopes on new CEO Luca de Meo.

Zalando's Q2 GMV and revenue rise, e-tailer ups guidance after About You buy
That was helped by continued investment in customer experience and it expects this week's launch of its AI-driven discovery feed that it says will 'deliver even more personalised inspiration and boost organic customer engagement' to help it further in Q3. B2C growth in the second quarter was also supported by strong progress in its two other growth pillars, which are 'differentiation through quality and lifestyle expansion'. Its upgraded loyalty programme reached more than 10 million customers at the end of the quarter as it rolled out to more markets. It also delivered 'over proportional growth' in its Lounge, Designer, and Beauty propositions, 'making progress on building out more areas that address more lifestyle needs of customers, thus enabling Zalando to capture a higher share of customers' wallets'. Meanwhile Business-to-Business (B2B) maintained 'strong momentum, driven by double-digit growth in ZEOS Fulfilment'. The launch of a new Shopify application that connects Shopify merchants directly to the ZEOS platform was also key. B2B revenues increased 12.2% to €262 million. Adjusted EBIT was €11 million, with the margin increasing by 1.3 percentage points to 4.3%. And there's plenty of potential for this to rise. UK retailer Next is now leveraging Zalando's fulfilment infrastructure for its largest mainland Europe market, Germany, after already using ZFS for the majority of its Zalando-based business. In the second half, it will expand the collaboration to include its own webshop and additional European marketplace business. Finally, following the About You acquisition in July, the company has issued its first full-year 2025 guidance for the combined group. It expects annual GMV of €17.2 billion-€17.6 billion, revenue of €12.1 billion-€12.4 billion, and adjusted EBIT of €550 million-€600 million. Forecast GMV volumes up by 12%-15% will be a big step forward from the previously expected range of 4%-9%.
