Milan court orders judicial administration for Loro Piana
Another case of labour exploitation involving a luxury brand has emerged. This time it concerns LVMH-owned brand, Loro Piana. A Milan Court has ordered judicial administration for one year for Loro Piana. Frédéric Arnault has been the CEO of the company since June 10. According to Italian news agency Ansa, the measure taken by the judges of the prevention measures section concerns an investigation by prosecutor Paolo Storari. He ascertained that Loro Piana had outsourced the production of garments, including jackets, which were allegedly manufactured under "labour exploitation". FashionUnited contacted Loro Piana for comment, but no statement has been released at this time. The company recently obtained a legal victory in the fight against counterfeiting. Returning to the labour exploitation case, Loro Piana is another high fashion brand on which Storari has shone a light. He obtained the judicial administration regime from the judges. According to investigations by the Milan Labour Protection Group, the company allegedly failed to prevent and contain labour exploitation within the production cycle, as well as implement appropriate measures to verify the actual working conditions. It is believed to have further failed to monitor the technical capabilities of the contracting companies. In this way, Ansa reports, it culpably facilitated labour exploitation. According to the investigation, the fashion house entrusted the production of garments to an external company, Evergreen. The latter, not having been able to produce the requested garments, allegedly subcontracted the work to Sor-Man snc of Nova Milanese. This company also lacked adequate production capacity. According to the Prosecutor's Office's reconstruction, the company turned, also to reduce costs, to Chinese factories. These were closed by the military and one of the owners was arrested in May. The ruling states they used "irregular and clandestine labour, in unhealthy and dangerous working environments". Workers were housed "in abusive dormitories in order to draw mere manpower at any time of day or night and subjecting them to work shifts (...) far exceeding those contractually foreseen". This system allegedly allowed for profit maximisation. It induced the Chinese factory that actually produced the goods to cut labour costs (contributions, insurance and direct taxes). It did this by resorting to "undeclared" and clandestine labour. It also failed to comply with health and safety regulations in the workplace and did not respect the National Collective Labour Agreements for the sector regarding workers' wages, working hours, breaks and holidays. According to Ansa, the court found this "mechanism was culpably fuelled by Loro Piana spa. It did not verify the real entrepreneurial capacity of the contracting and subcontracting companies (Sor-Man), to whom it entrusted production. Over the years, it did not carry out effective inspections or audits to ascertain in practice the operation of the production chain and the actual working conditions and work environments."

LVMH to sell Santa Barbara's El Encanto hotel for $82.2 million
French luxury giant LVMH Moët Hennessey Louis Vuitton SE is selling its only US hotel, the El Encanto in Santa Barbara, California. The 90-room property — in a coastal getaway northwest of Los Angeles — is being purchased by a partnership of brothers Justin and Tyler Mateen and Culver Capital, according to representatives for the buyers. The price is $82.2 million, they said. 'We look at it as we're buying 20% of the class A luxury hospitality market in Santa Barbara, which we believe is a growing market,' Tyler Mateen said in an interview Monday. The sale price per room — about $900,000 — is comparable to other recent resort transactions in coastal California, where strict government regulations and a scarcity of land create high barriers to entry, according to Alan Reay, president of Atlas Hospitality Group, a hotel brokerage based in Newport Beach. 'It may look expensive today, but 10 or 20 years from now it looks like a good deal,' Reay said. A spokesperson for LVMH declined to comment on the transaction but said LVMH-owned Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts plans to open a hotel in Miami Beach, Florida, in 2028. The El Encanto's new owners say they plan to manage the property themselves, meaning it will no longer be part of the Belmond chain, a group of resorts that LVMH purchased in 2019. 'This property embodies the essence of California living and offers an experience like no other hotel on the Central Coast,' Garrett Cayton of Culver Capital, and the co-owner of The Discerning Travellers luxury travel agency, said in a statement. The Mateens have a growing portfolio of real estate and technology investments. Justin Mateen was a co-founder of the dating app Tinder. The brothers paid $69 million last month for a shopping center on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, and last year bought an office and retail complex on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills for $211 million.
