Spain's Victoria Shoes launches London pop-up
Spanish footwear brand Victoria Shoes is landing in London this month, opening its first UK pop-up in east London's Truman Brewery on Dray Walk.
The Bodega-style (a small, owner-operated convenience store, often with ethnic market influences) store brings the best of Victoria with a collection that highlights its latest footwear, garment and accessories drops – while showing 'what Victoria Shoes is all about, both from a brand universe and culture perspective'.
The mainstay element of its footwear is the brand's sweet-smelling strawberry soles — they came to life when natural quality rubber was unavailable so the brand got creative and masked the car tyre scent with the fragrant fruit. we're told.
The pop-up itself is hosting an interactive experience, beginning with an exclusive invite-only private opening night on 22 May. This will be followed by two consecutive consumer days (23-24 May) for shoppers to browse the collections with exclusive gifts reserved for the first 50 guests.
Founded in 1915 in the small town of La Rioja, Northern Spain, it now offers 300+ models across womenswear, menswear, and kids. Currently, the brand is sold in 50 countries and is stocked by UK retailers Schuh and M&S.

H&M founding family moves closer to full control of retailer
Hennes Mauritz AB, the fast-fashion retailer that's been listed on the Swedish stock market since 1974, is steadily moving back toward private ownership. The founding family has stepped up purchases of H&M shares, spending more than 63 billion kronor ($6.6 billion) since 2016 and fueling speculation it could take the Stockholm-based company back into private hands — despite denials from family members. The Perssons, one of Sweden's wealthiest families, have amassed a growing stake through the holding company Ramsbury Invest, saying little about their intentions other than that they 'believe' in H&M, which was founded in 1947 by Erling Persson. The media-shy clan is now getting within striking distance of full control of the retailer, which in recent years has been losing ground among shoppers to its main rival, Zara, and ultra-fast fashion upstarts like Shein. 'This is something we've been talking about for years, and few would doubt that's the direction things are headed,' said Sverre Linton, chief legal officer and spokesperson for the Swedish Shareholders' Association, which represents small stock investors. He added that if the family doesn't plan to take H&M private, it should communicate that more clearly and stop buying shares. The family has ramped up insider buying by reinvesting dividends, boosting its H&M stake to almost 64% from 35.5% over the past nine years via Ramsbury, a vehicle named after billionaire Stefan Persson's sprawling estate. Including extended family holdings, the Perssons now control roughly 70% of the capital and about 85% of voting rights, according to H&M's website. In an interview last year with Bloomberg, H&M Chairman Karl-Johan Persson — grandson of the founder — dismissed talk that the family intended to take the company private. 'There are no plans,' he said. 'We just buy because we believe in the company.' Representatives at Ramsbury Invest and H&M declined to comment. Analysts, including Niklas Ekman at DNB Carnegie, say the family's regular share purchases could signal more than just confidence in the retailer. In a note to clients last month, Ekman estimated that if the family continues acquiring shares at the same pace, a buyout could come as early as two years from now. If its holdings reach 90%, the family could request a delisting of the shares. A take-private would be 'based on emotional rather than financial motives,' Ekman wrote, given that the family already has a controlling stake and has long managed the company with little regard for minority shareholders. He attributed the push to patriarch Stefan Persson, 77, who built H&M into one of the world's largest fast-fashion retailers during his 16 years as chief executive officer and over two decades as chairman. He remains deeply invested in the company's future. His son Karl-Johan, who took over as H&M chairman in 2020 after serving as CEO, also holds an active role at Ramsbury Invest. 'They've never, at least in modern times, expressed a strong desire to remain public,' said Daniel Schmidt, an analyst at Danske Bank. 'I would say that transparency has always been a part of it.' H&M's shares reached an all-time high about a decade ago and have since fallen by around 60%, valuing the group at 220 billion kronor. Zara owner Inditex SA, by contrast, has climbed about 60% over that period. For the Perssons, the sagging stock price is no doubt a frustration but also presents an opportunity by making full control more attainable. At the current price, it would cost the family at least 70 billion kronor to buy the remaining outstanding shares, according to Ekman. That would likely require them to take on debt. According to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Charles Allen, a delisting would also require a premium. 'If the bid were financed by debt, then it may reduce the company's operating flexibility,' Allen said. 'It wouldn't really matter if the debt was in the company or the family, as either way cash flow would have to be diverted from investment to pay interest and then repay.' Operationally, the fast-fashion retailer appears stuck in the slow lane, facing tepid demand for its apparel, fierce competition and now US tariffs. The first-quarter results were weaker than analysts had expected and showed that efforts to claw back customers through higher marketing spending hadn't brought a rebound. CEO Daniel Erver, an H&M veteran who took the top job last January, was involved in setting the current strategy and has yet to reverse market share losses in countries including Germany, France and the UK. Attempts to reconnect with younger audiences through collaborations, such as with pop artist Charli XCX, haven't significantly boosted growth. H&M has been criticized for a lack of transparency over sudden management changes and being the only company in Stockholm's benchmark index not to disclose the shareholdings of its top executive team. 'Obviously, being a listed company puts management under more scrutiny than if they were private, but it also presumably offers some incentives to management and other employees that would not be available if it were private,' BI's Allen said. Anders Oscarsson, head of equities at AMF, one of Sweden's biggest pension managers and the largest non-family shareholder, said he hasn't heard the family say anything about taking H&M private and that such a move would be a big loss for investors. 'It would be sad if the company disappears from the stock exchange,' he said. Yet if the family's purchases lead to a marked deterioration in the stock's liquidity, that wouldn't be a good outcome either. 'It might become a bit like Hotel California — where you can neither check in nor check out.'

TotalEnergies in landmark greenwashing trial in France
It is the first such case in France targeting a major energy company and one that could set a legal precedent for corporate environmental advertising, which is starting to face tighter regulations in the European Union. The civil case stems from a March 2022 lawsuit by three environmental groups accusing TotalEnergies of 'misleading commercial practices' for saying it could reach carbon neutrality while continuing oil and gas production. The plaintiffs took that legal route because 'greenwashing', or the act of claiming to be more environmentally responsible than in reality, is not specifically covered under French law. Starting in May 2021, TotalEnergies advertised its goal of 'carbon neutrality by 2050' and touted gas as 'the fossil fuel with the lowest greenhouse gas emissions'. At the time, the company had changed its name from Total to TotalEnergies to emphasise its investments in wind turbines and solar panels for electricity production. The plaintiffs allege that TotalEnergies made around 40 'false advertisements' in their lawsuit. 'For the average consumer, it is impossible to understand that TotalEnergies is actually expanding fossil fuel production,' said Clementine Baldon, a lawyer for the NGOs. The company's strategy 'will not help the energy transition', Baldon told the court. 'It delays it, even prevents it, and it contributes to putting the objectives of the Paris accord at risk,' she added, referring to the international agreement aimed at curbing climate change. TotalEnergies maintains it has not engaged in misleading commercial practices. 'Greenwashing would be to promise that the petrol sold in service stations is carbon neutral,' said the company's lawyer, Francoise Labrousse. TotalEnergies had 'never said its products are good for the climate', she added. Advertisement TotalEnergies also insisted that the messages are part of its institutional communications regulated by financial authorities and not consumer law. It also argued the NGOs are misusing consumer protection rules to challenge its corporate strategy, and that no consumer organisation is party to the case. The NGOs want the Paris court to rule on the legality of ads presenting natural gas as essential to the energy transition. Climate experts say methane leaks from the gas industry have a powerful warming effect on the atmosphere. But TotalEnergies noted Greenpeace Belgium had previously considered natural gas useful for the energy transition and noted the group still uses fossil fuels in its boats. Environmental groups in recent years have turned to the courts to establish case law on companies misleading consumers by appearing more eco-friendly than they are. In Europe, courts ruled against Dutch airline KLM in 2024 and Germany's Lufthansa in March over misleading consumers about their efforts to reduce the environmental impact of flying. In Spain, utility Iberdrola failed to secure a conviction against Spanish oil and gas company Repsol over similar allegations of 'false' environmental claims. A greenwashing case against Australian oil and gas producer Santos, challenging its claim to be a 'clean fuels' company, has been ongoing since 2021. Advertisement Other fossil fuel companies, under pressure from advertising regulators or legal complaints, have had to scrap or correct ad campaigns. Shell, for example, received a warning in the UK and had to stop promoting 'carbon-neutral' gasoline in several countries, including Germany, the Netherlands and Canada. New European laws now ban vague, generic environmental claims, such as 'green' or '100 percent natural' product, and aim to require brands to more strictly substantiate environmental claims on labels and in advertising. TotalEnergies has said it plans to show that its messages 'about its name change, strategy and role in the energy transition are reliable and based on objective, verifiable data'. At the end of the hearing, the judge said a ruling would be given on October 23.

Undiz, a year on: has Marie Delahaie brought fresh momentum?
In May 2024, Marie Delahaie took over as managing director of French lingerie chain Undiz, succeeding Isolde Andouard. Delahaie's first step was to work on brand image and a new logo to try to give Undiz fresh impetus, and she is now set on revamping the brand's store concept. Delahaie, 44, who previously worked at Balenciaga, Zadig & Voltaire and Lacoste, has talked to about the areas she is focusing on, as she aims to attract new customers to the brand. Undiz was founded in 2007, and from the start it has targeted Gen Z consumers with its low-cost products. 'Our latest store concepts were very striking, with plenty of black and metallic hues. We now want our collections to take centre-stage in-store, and we're adopting a much lighter palette, rounded forms, bowl-shaped ceiling lights, and cosy fitting rooms with macaroon-shaped seats,' said Delahaie. Undiz commissioned the stores' interior design to Spanish agency Masquespacio. Undiz isn't planning to expand its retail footprint, but the new interiors concept will be rolled out during the summer in the stores at Paris Saint-Lazare, and in those in the town centre of Tours and Rennes. Undiz's 157 stores in France (plus the 41 addresses outside the country, chiefly elsewhere in Europe, in the Middle East and the Mediterranean basin) are all expected to adopt the new look by 2028, with 35 renovations per year initially planned. This will include some soft-touch upgrades (new flooring, and walls redecorated in white), given that '65% of our store fleet still has the original all-black interiors.' Seven full renovations and 13 'soft' refurbishments are scheduled in the second half of 2025. The goal is to broadcast the message that Undiz 'is no longer focused solely on 18 to 25-year-olds. It's a fresh, creative brand, still offering very good value for money, and which is opening up to a new clientèle,' said Delahaie. 'The good news is that, according to the Kantar Institute, 50% of the French consumers they track do not know us. There is therefore potential for growth through our new positioning.' In recent months, footfall in stores has been satisfactory. 'More people are visiting our stores. We attribute this to our revamped brand image, which has been advertised with plenty of poster displays and city-centre marketing. Undiz is a high street brand, generating 90% of sales through its stores. Having a physical connection with consumers is paramount,' said Delahaie. Undiz's customer base has recently topped the 5 million mark, equivalent to a 35% increase. Assortment-wise, prices remain low, but the brand's style has slightly shifted away from its hyper-sexy, assertive character, transitioning towards 'a softer, fine-lace feel. We removed from our collections products with a bondage vibe, promoting instead another kind of sexy, based on our corsetry expertise. It's quite a balancing act, keeping prices steady without cutting back on quality,' said Delahaie. Is there a risk of encroaching on the territory of the group's flagship brand, Etam? Delahaie said that 'even if there is some overlap on certain trends, the group ensures that each brand has its own vocabulary. And price continues to be our differentiating factor.' In terms of CSR, Undiz says that 70% of its products bear the 'We Care' label, which designates the brand's more sustainable items (made with organic or recycled materials, or using low-impact manufacturing methods, for example sublimation). Undiz's license portfolio is also changing, featuring fewer Disney characters and introducing new partnerships, for example the retro-garage capsule collection dropped this season in collaboration with Ford. In addition, Undiz is increasingly targeting a male clientèle, and its men's range now accounts for 10% of the business. 'We made a men's underwear photoshoot for the first time this year, and it has worked very well in terms of advertising,' said Delahaie. Talking assortment, residual inventory remains a challenge in lingerie. 'AI is helping us predict demand and plan purchase orders, especially for year-round products, as well as how to distribute products among our stores,' she said, adding that besides brand image, the range and the retail concept, Undiz's way of working has also changed. Staff are less compartmentalised and the teams are working more closely together, and I'm trying to introduce a more entrepreneurial mindset. I'm noticing that our staff's sense of belonging is growing.' Undiz is close-mouthed about its annual revenue, which is said to be in the region of €200 million. Delahaie said the result of fiscal 2024 was 'appropriate,' and that Undiz is ahead of forecasts in 2025. 'In the first part of the year, we are also doing better than lingerie market specialists and mass-market retailers,' concluded Delahaie, who has set herself the challenge of a new international expansion drive next year.
