Transport and logistics: the challenges of the luxury industryΒ 

‍Haute Couture houses have very specific needs when it comes to transporting their looks internationally. Between tight delivery times, lack of visibility on expenses and difficult coordination that often results in an avalanche of email exchanges; it is now clear that innovation has become a necessity for industry players.

Luxury goods transport: the challenges to be met

‍

A lack of offers adapted to the sector

‍

In the fashion industry, delivery times are often very tight. Haute Couture houses sometimes need to send outfits from Paris to Los Angeles in less than 24 hours for major events. Unfortunately, most of the classic forwarding agents do not have an offer adapted to this kind of profile. In most cases, they charge exorbitant amounts for urgent needs, or do not provide a service adapted to the time difference between France and the United States.

‍

A need for customized support

‍

Every stylist and every Haute-Couture house needs personalized support. Given the uniqueness and value of each look, a standard transport service is not enough. Haute Couture houses need tailor-made support, with agents available at all times to ensure that their products are delivered quickly, safely and according to their specific needs.

‍

Difficulties in budgeting for transportation

‍

Transportation needs are not the same every month. For example, during events such as the Oscars or Fashion Week, Haute-Couture houses sometimes need to send more than a hundred looks to the designers on site in just a few days. During slower periods, these needs are smaller.

So, in the case where the Haute-Couture houses use classic commission agents, who are paid according to the number of transports carried out, the expenses vary enormously each month. It becomes difficult to estimate the transport budget.
