CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learned.

 

Subject's owner and General Manager, Michael Peretz, refused to provide any information without receiving the name of the supplier on behalf of whom the inquiry is.

 

According to our, Michael Peretz holds 50% in AVIHAD AND ELHAD TEXTILE MANUFACTURER LTD. (incorporated in 1996, continuing business activities which began in 1992 and was known as "Sancho Fashion"), manufacturers and marketers of ladies' and men's trousers and blouses (may be inactive).

 

According to reports from the beginning of 2012, total sales of the local fashion market are NIS 10 billion per annum.

 

Based on surveys, around 50% and more is women's fashion. Moreover, 40% of fashion stores in Israel belong to fashion chains, the rest being private shops.

 

According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), import of Clothing and Footwear in 2011 kept the rising trend from 2010: import rose by close to 19%, after rising 13.4% in 2010 from 2009, summing up to US$ 1,707.3 million (in 2009 the local market experienced a slow-down). Most import comes from China. Main other countries of origin for textile goods are France, Italy, Hong Kong and Turkey, Spain and the U.S.A.

 

Despite the fears due to the slow-down trend in the local economy, mainly since mid 2011, sales by the local fashion –clothing and footwear- branch in 2011 witnessed a growth. The income of fashion chains (which covers 1,350 shops, the major chunk of fashion sales in Israel) summed up to NIS 4.52 billion, representing a 5.7% rise from 2010 in money terms. Sales during the year characterized in ups and downs, though eventually they came higher than 2010, a year which was better than 2009, when the branch suffered from slow-down (coupled with the general local economic environment) and overall sales indicators were negative. 2010 sales were only marginally positive. Sales have been also influenced by the entrnce of new international fashion players to the already highly competitive local market (GAP, H&M in 2009/2010, Forever 21 in 2011).

 

According to sources in the local fashion branch, in recent months the branch entered again a freezing mode. It may be explained by several factors, including the present slow-down in local economy, the fierce competition and more.

 

According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), private consumption expenditure by Israeli households in 2011 in clothing, footwear and personal effects rose by mere 1.3% from 2010, after a 9.5% increase from 2009.
