Rise of fast-fashion Shein, Temu roils global air cargo industry

Shein, PDD Group’s Temu and ByteDance’s TikTok Shop, which recently began online shopping in the U.S., ship the majority of their products directly from factories in China to shoppers by air in individually addressed packages.And their growing popularity – Shein and Temu together send almost 600,000 packages to the United States every day, according to a June 2023 report by the U.S. Congress – is boosting air-freight costs from Asian hubs like Guangzhou and Hong Kong, making off-peak seasons almost disappear and causing capacity shortages, the sources said.

“The biggest trend impacting air freight right now is not the Red Sea, it’s Chinese e-commerce companies like Shein or Temu,” said Basile Ricard, director of Greater China operations at freight forwarder Bollore Logistics.Accor…

Thai snails kept ‘happy’ and healthy for their cosmetic slime

At a farm in Nakhon Nayok province, a two-hour drive north-east of Bangkok, Tawatchai Maneemart tends to some 3,000 snails.He lets them roam freely in a 21-square-metre (226 sq ft) enclosure that mimics their natural habitat, and feeds them with organic cucumbers and green leafy vegetables.

These snails, about three inches long, are bred by farmers for their mucus, made popular in large part by a South Korean beauty trend that uses the filtered slime in face serums and moisturisers.“If we nurture them well and keep them happy by providing them with a pleasant habitat and good food, they will be healthy,” said Tawatchai, explaining that healthier snails bred in a stress-free environment are more likely to produce high-quality mucus.Advocates of the snail cream say the mucus is …

Superdry co-founder attacks management after weak update

Julian Dunkerton, who remains the under-performing retailer’s biggest shareholder, said it was the “weakest” performance in the firm’s 34-year history, that it was a “damning indictment of Superdry’s misguided strategy” and that “action must be taken.”The company had posted a sales fall for the latest quarter with even its web sales dropping, and while it said its transformation plan is proceeding, the befits from this are still some way off.

But Dunkerton believes the firm current strategy of reducing the number of products available is “failing dismally” and that compared to “the group’s peers, who have been exposed to the same external factors, [its] numbers are very disappointing.”Opinion seems to be divided on whether he’s right thoughคำพู…

Vetements’ stand-out designs sparks knock-off frenzy

Brittany Mahomes Trolls Patrick Mahomes For Wearing Crocs to Chiefs Photo Shoot

Fair to say that Patrick Mahomes has always gone for the big plays. 

Years before he led his team to a second Super Bowl victory in 2023, the three-sport Whitehouse High School athlete (a star quarterback, he also played basketball and baseball) was just another 18-year-old trying to dream up an Insta-worthy promposal for his cheerleader girlfriend of more than two years. 

He'd done the whole scrawl-prom?-all-over-her-car thing for her senior year in 2013, "SCARING the crap out of me," Brittany Mahomes (née Matthews) shared on her feed at the time. And he'd gone "cute and simple" with a cookie cake invite to hi…
