- How to Choose Tom Ford Perfumes in 2024?
Perfume magnifies infinite charm on both men and women, and various luxury brands are competing in this category. The average price of each category of perfume is about hundreds to thousands of dollars. Just like the Tom Ford perfume s we are going to introduce today, each one makes people curious because of its excellent marketing pictures and usage experience. Spend money to try it. It seems that spraying this perfume will make you sexier. Cologne, the originator of all perfumes, was first launched in Germany with a concentration of only 2%-5%. It is a bit surprising that it was not proposed in Paris, because Paris is famous for its fragrances and has set many standards in the perfume industry. I have to say that almost every brand has a cologne category. Although it is not exactly the same as classic cologne of Germany kind, they all maintain an obvious top note of citrus as the main ingredient + a clean and simple middle and base note. Let’s take a look at what is worth exploring about Tom Ford’s cologne. The first one, Tom Ford Cologne - Ébène Fumé Mr. Ford's eponymous fragrances often make a statement with rich, bold scents. The top notes of this perfume are very rich with smoky incense and papyrus. The spicy black pepper and a lot of labdanum are enveloped by this smoky scent. The presence of pine tar is also very strong, and the green Sandalwood, combined with other spices, restores the flavor of Peruvian sacred wood. The top note is thicker, slightly pungent, and a spicy woody tone with a full smoky feel. The presence of leather and labdanum in the middle notes rises sharply, while the smoky and dusty feel not only does not decrease but becomes more obvious. The rose brings a bit of acidity to the fragrance, and the fragrance feels dirty when you feel it carefully. , then the scent of papyrus, resin, and ebony gradually emerged, gradually suppressing the scent of leather and labdanum, and the fragrance gradually became warm and calm. The powdery aftertaste fades, and the fragrance gradually becomes calmer and calmer. The combination of ebony and guaiac wood still has a slightly smoky aroma (not strong), while the resin provides a little sweetness to the fragrance. Generally speaking, it gives people a dense woody and smoky aroma, but it is not too greasy. The second one, Tom Ford perfumes-Costa Azzurra Although cologne is generally used by men due to its low concentration, women can also choose it according to their own preferences. Therefore, it can be regarded as a neutral fragrance, which is refreshing, elegant, non-greasy and less aggressive. Since citrus essential oil is highly volatile, you can spray it several times when using it. The scent of the perfume will fade away after staying on the shirt for just a few hours. Because citrus essential oils tend to need to be kept cold, cologne will smell different when it's placed on warm skin. If you use cologne in summer, it is recommended to spray it on your clothes or hair. It will be launched in 2021 and is a unisex fragrance with an aromatic marine tone. Top notes are driftwood, seaweed, agarwood, cardamom, ambrette (musk mallow) and celery seed; middle notes are lemon, cypress, lavender, tangerine, myrtle and mugwort; base notes are incense, vetiver Grass, oak, olive, frankincense or vanilla and vanilla. The bottle has a beautiful design and the Mediterranean scent is perfect for summer and outdoor activities. Woody and fresh, with hints of lemon, cypress and lavender. The third one, Tom Ford Velvet Orchid This is a more classic unisex fragrance from the Tom Ford brand, and it tends to be sweet. The top notes of rum and honey give it a slightly tipsy feeling, and the fresh lemon gradually starts to become a little sweeter. The middle notes are rich in floral fragrance, but not the kind of strong grand floral fragrance, it's still as sweet as ever. The base notes of balsam round out the scent, and the blend of vanilla and honey makes people feel happy. Friends who like sandalwood can avoid this one because the feeling of sandalwood is not clear in this cologne. The middle note of Velvet Orchid is a mixture of jasmine, rose, orchid, orchid, orange blossom, magnolia, hyacinth, narcissus and other floral fragrances, which adds to the gentle temperament of this perfume and releases a sultry atmosphere with every gesture. The fourth one, Tom Ford Oud Wood This cologne has a high-end positioning due to its precious raw materials. The scent is mixed with agarwood (oud), Brazilian rosewood, cardamom, peppercorns, sandalwood, vanilla root, tonka bean, vanilla, amber and other flavors. When I first sprayed it, it smelled of forest vegetation, with a faint medicinal smell and a touch of powdery powder, which was a bit sour. After a while, the woody fragrance began to show up, a feeling like the forest you smell when you open the house early in the morning. Later, the smell began to sink, like the calm smell of dead wood under the sunset, no longer the dewy woody fragrance. The overall change of the perfume is becoming more and more calm and gentle, more and more fascinating, giving people a sense of men and women who have been baptized by the years, becoming more mentally and physically mature, gradually tolerant, restrained, and extremely low-key and luxurious. If you have a fit budget, consider trying it. I think it's very tempting. The fifth one, Tom Ford Bitter Peach This one gives people the feeling of being unique. If you want to create your own personal characteristics, then this one is perfect. It's a fruity scent for the fruity scent skeptic and a lovely, natural scent. You can also feel the full peach character from the bottle design. Top notes of peach, blood orange and cardamom merge into a heart of rum, cognac and jasmine. The drydown includes vanilla, tonka bean and patchouli. The peaches here are not sweet or artificial. He feels real, even a little bitter. The contrast between the freshness of the peach and the warmth of the other notes really sets it apart. Tom Ford's cologne is generally unique in the market, and it is difficult to find other very similar flavors. The appearance and marketing are very tempting. No matter which one you choose, you can choose according to your preferences and budget, and finally find your own unique taste.
- Why Are Tom Ford Perfumes so Expensive?
Tom Ford's perfumes can be said to be very famous, and Tom Ford is simply synonymous with sexiness. Even Tom Ford himself is very handsome and smart and was called "the sexiest gay man in the world" by movie star Rita Wilson. Tom Ford is an American. He was born in Texas, USA, and grew up in Santa Fe. He studied fashion and interior design at Parsons School of Design in New York and Paris. He is a famous designer, but now he and Richard have settled in London for a long time. Because he studied design in New York and Paris and then went to work in Italy, he has a strong sense of European elegance and style. The most obvious manifestation is Tom Ford's perfume. It is said that many of Tom Ford's perfumes are inspired by his experience in Europe. In 1990, he joined Gucci, and in 1994, he became creative director. In 2000, he became the creative director of Yves Saint Laurent. The classic fragrance of YSL was Patchouli, which was Tom Ford's favorite. In 2004, he officially founded the brand Tom Ford, named after himself. Its products include men's clothing, women's clothing, bags, shoes, glasses, and cosmetics that women are most concerned about. The profound professional knowledge has created the mass base of Tom Ford perfumes, and the price should not be underestimated. The author believes that it is mainly reflected in the following reasons: 1. Market positioning of Tom Ford perfumes Some other professional perfume brands, which are positioned at the low end, with a large customer base and high sales volume, lowers the average price. Tom Ford is positioned as a mid-end to high-end product, and its design concept and style are more in line with the preferences of mid-end to high-end customers. These customers recognize Tom Ford, pay for it, and can also contribute high profits. Clothes and bags range from US$500 to US$4,000+. Perfumes are generally priced at US$100 to US$1,000, depending on the fragrance and popularity of the product in line with the positioning of high-end luxury goods. 2. Unique producing characteristics The technical content of the perfume itself is not too high, but it is more about the stable quality, pleasing fragrance, experience, and popularity of the perfumer. Coupled with Tom Ford's very seductive advertising blockbuster, it can be said that the marketing is very attractive, as if we can be as attractive as the models after using their perfume. Each scent has its own unique story. For example, Noir Extreme Parfum, an enhanced version of the original Noir Extreme fragrance, has a stronger concentration and shows a more private and bold side of men. In my opinion, whether it is the name or the temperament, what this perfume wants to embody is a sense of mystery, a kind of incomplete charm retention, and Tom Ford also implicitly embodies it through scenes, plots, and creativity in the film. Bitter Peach: The bitter peach perfume, the interweaving of juicy and sweet peaches, and the body make the desire hidden under the innocent appearance ready to come out. There was also the previous Costa Azzurra perfume. In order to reflect the wet vibe, Tom Ford made the film very "wet". In fact, comparing Tom Ford's lipstick or high-heeled shoe ads, we can also see the imaginative space it brings to consumers, which is addictive and makes people have the urge to pay. 3. Brand loyalty is valuable. For those customers who like Tom Ford makeup, shoes, bags, and clothing, if they need to buy perfume, is it more convenient and more habitual to choose Tom Ford? This is similar to how we are used to shopping on e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and eBay. We use these platforms to buy clothes, and we are used to searching these platforms for baby strollers. After all, we know that they have this category or business. 4. The quality itself is superior, focusing on salon fragrance. It is true that not every perfume by Tom Ford is well received, but there are several series of materials under its brand that use better materials, such as ebony, rose, musk, etc. The quality supports the high price. Coupled with the strong European elegance and style prepared by the creator, many consumers are fascinated. The materials are expensive, the output is small, the price is high, and there is a strong creative style, which can also be called salon perfume . For example, Tom Ford's Private Blend collection, known as the "personal perfume laboratory". The designer has reflected all his thoughts and imagination on fragrances in this series. It is at the core of this series to blend unique fragrances without being restricted by the mainstream. Private Blend perfume series breaks the restriction of gender on perfume; there is no distinction between male perfume and female perfume; men and women are equally suitable. The black truffle mixed with the first perfume Black orchid undoubtedly raised the gold content of this perfume. 5. Price is directly proportional to demand. The brand has been tested in the market for so many years, and the price of perfume has been in a dynamic equilibrium. The price of popular and hot products will naturally rise slowly, or, as the Noir Extreme Parfum mentioned above is an enhanced version of the original Noir Extreme fragrance, product evolution strengthens the probability of consumers paying. If the price is high but the perfume cannot open the market, then the price can only be reduced for promotion. At present, the pricing of most of Tom Ford's perfumes has met the double expectations of the brand and the market. 6. The short duration of the perfume line is a possible reason, but not the main reason. In 2006, Tom Ford launched the first perfume, Black Orchid, which is mysterious, sexy, and graceful, but also a little decadent and dark. The mysterious black orchid is mixed with precious black truffle, and there is a hint of bitterness from dark chocolate in the sweetness. As the brand's first perfume, Night Orchid has a very strong brand gene. Other brands, such as the famous Chanel N°5, were born in 1921 and have a history of more than 100 years; Miss Dior was born in 1947; the earliest Armani perfume was launched in 1982; Bulgari's first perfume was launched in 1992. It may exist that the time to make perfume is not long and the sales volume is not too high, which leads to the inability to mass-produce and drives up the cost, so the price must be high in order not to lose money. So you can see that many well-known perfumes are cheap. It's not that they are bad, but that their mass production costs are low. Tom Ford's rapid popularity, becoming a high-end brand, design, product line, quality, connotation, market grasp, and marketing methods are all indispensable. It may create even better products in the future; let us wait and see! You can also leave a message to talk about which Tom Ford products you have bought and how you feel about using them. Everyone is welcome to share.
- How Chanel N°5 Remains The World's Most Popular Perfume?
In 1921, Chanel N°5 perfume was launched. Its first advertising poster appeared in the form of an illustration, and the "starring" was none other than the brand founder, Ms. Coco Chanel. Compared with today's advertising blockbusters with budgets of millions and millions, it seems so "whimsical". This illustration poster was created by the French cartoonist Sem at the time. In the painting, Coco is wearing a Chanel-style dress, looking excitedly and happily at the bottle of No. 5 perfume. The poster is called "The New Woman". When it comes to perfume, Chanel N°5 comes to many people’s minds unconsciously. Indeed, N°5 has been the best-selling classic fragrance for many years, and its success is unquestionable. It is equated with luxury and elegance. Its simple and transparent perfume bottle, complex and sexy yet clean and charming fragrance... every detail is refined, making Chanel N°5 timeless and new, becoming a legend in the perfume industry. The fragrance. Having gone through a century, it is the most legendary representative in the perfume industry. Behind it, there are many fascinating things worth exploring, let’s take a look! First of all, Chanel N°5 is famous for its unique and exclusive fragrance. The French have a long history of using fragrance, but Ms. Chanel has been unwilling to follow established rules since she had the idea of creating a fragrance. She hopes that her representative fragrance belongs to modern art and a concept. "The perfumes used by many women are not mysterious at all. Women are not flowers, so why should they smell like a flower?" Ms. Chanel once said, "I want to give women an artificial fragrance, just like a dress created by people. I don’t want hollow roses or lilies, I want a blended scent.” This laid the foundation for Chanel N°5. Ms. Chanel said, "A woman should smell like a woman, not a flower." At that time, many perfumes still used traditional single floral notes (Soliflores). Ennis, the perfumer of Chanel N°5. Ernest Beaux surprisingly created an unprecedented fragrance structure. In addition to the core May rose and jasmine, he also used up to 80 kinds of fragrances, combining many precious fragrances such as ylang, sandalwood, vanilla, orange blossom, etc. They are combined for the first time. The roses and jasmine used in Chanel N°5 are all from Grasse, France. They are of the highest quality but also quite expensive. Chanel N°5 has become synonymous with luxury perfumes as soon as it appeared. It is said that it takes more than a thousand jasmine flowers and a dozen rose bouquets to quench a 30ml bottle of Chanel N°5 fragrance, which shows the huge amount used. Therefore, in 1987, Chanel signed an agreement with the Mul family, a local flower farm operator, to own an exclusive jasmine field to ensure sufficient sources of precious raw materials. In addition to the exquisite flower materials, what makes Chanel N°5 legendary is the use of a special acetaldehyde fragrance, which removes the overly precise fragrance profile and makes Chanel N°5 smell like a large bouquet, but no specific floral scent can be discerned. With this can of Chanel N°5, Ms. Chanel seems to "copy" her own image with her sense of smell, so charming but elusive. Secondly, you may be curious why this perfume is named N°5. Unlike other perfume brands in the early 20th century that liked to use romantic names, Ms. Chanel directly chose a simple number N°5 as the name of her perfume. Some say this number comes from sample No. 5 provided by the perfumer. It is said that when Ms. Chanel smelled a sample of No. 5, she said without hesitation: "No. 5. Yes, that is the scent I have been waiting for, a unique, feminine fragrance." However, in fact, "5" has always been the lucky number for Ms. Chanel, who values symbols. She used to choose the fifth day of the month to launch her latest clothing series, including February 5th, August 5th, etc. When she thought this bottle of perfume was her incarnation, she chose this lucky number to make N °5 exists with a simple but meaningful name. In addition, the bottle of Chanel N°5 also broke the over-decorated appearance design of perfume at that time. It adopted a simple rectangular bottle and was completely transparent, as clean and neat as the aldehydes used in perfume. The reason why it is so minimalist is to highlight the fragrance itself. However, there is a little ingenuity hidden on the bottle stopper. Ms. Chanel has marked her own code name on each perfume bottle stopper since 1921, which is the classic double C symbol, and this is still the case today. In addition to excellent product quality, the success of the product also benefits from the sexy male and female celebrity spokespersons of the past generations. From Catherine Deneuve, Candice Bergen, Suzy Parker, Ali MacGraw, Lauren Hutton, Carole Bouquet, to Estella Warren, Nicole Kidman, Audrey Tautou, Brad Pitt, and Gisele Bündchen. N°5’s advertising has lingered in our minds. Even now, nearly a hundred years after its creation, its power of temptation and modern qualities remain unchanged. What impressed me the most was Nicole Kidman, with her delicate face, sexy figure, elegance and charm of a mature woman. The TV commercial was directed by "Moulin Rouge" director Baz Luhrmann himself, making it a well-deserved visual feast. The commercial also conveys a clear message: If you want to become an icon of the times, then use perfume No. 5! Nicole Kidman has been the spokesperson for Chanel N°5 perfume for five years since 2005. It is rumored that her endorsement fee is as high as US$12 million, making her the most expensive advertising spokesperson in Chanel's history. At present, N°5's audience has already moved from the niche to the public. While maintaining a high style, it has "moved" the entire original French perfume factory to the local area and created it in the form of modernization, black technology, and immersive interactive experience. An N°5 “theme park” that publicly presents everything about N°5 to visitors. In addition to perfume, Chanel Factory No. 5 has launched a total of 17 limited products, integrating the design concept of N°5 artistic elements into daily necessities, and divided them into three themes: kitchen, machinery, and painting. Products cover everything from bathing and body care to decorative tapes, portable kettles and other daily necessities. These daily necessities are uniformly packaged in limited edition packaging with black characters on a white background. For example, the "paint bucket" contains a triangle package of shower gel, the "tea can" contains shower scented tablets, the "motor oil bottle" contains multi-purpose essential oils; the "round powder" contains The "box" contains perfume soap; the "milk bag" contains body lotion; the "lipstick tube" contains portable perfume; the "paint bottle" contains body gel; the "paint tube" contains body lotion and body cream; the "ice cream tube" contains "tube" contains hand cream... The contrast between simple packaging and luxurious interior is easily reminiscent of N°5's original simple packaging-a laboratory flask. The success of Chanel N°5 is indispensable to the ultimate creativity of the inventor. While grasping the needs of users, he did not forget to update it to adapt to the trend of the times. So it has been famous for more than a century.
- Would You like to Try These Incredible Masks in Fashion Shows?
Today, let's talk about a lighter topic: the "sensational" masks in the show. In the perception of ordinary people, fashion shows are the presentation of gorgeous clothes, supermodels and all beauty, but today's fashion shows, under the banner of innovation, present more and more "shocking" designs, such as the "masks" in the show that are not surprising. Today, I will give you a list of "mask" shows that are more eye-catching than clothes. 1. Givenchy's bark-like mask Givenchy presented this creepy mask at the 2016 New York Spring/Summer Fashion Week, under the name of creating a sense of love between black and white. I guess people with visual intensive phobia will get dizzy after watching it for a few more seconds. To be honest, the design of the clothes is online, and this extra mask makes us ordinary people really unable to understand the designer's brain circuit. In the same show, this light gauze semi-transparent dress is so beautiful, but the model's veil mask, which looks like Catwoman, makes the overall look a lot weirder. 2. Cleopatra + Sun God + primitive tribal mask? The costumes in this show have a strong Latin American style. The cake-style layered high-waist skirt is full of design sense. The tight-fitting top with snakeskin texture on the upper body is very figure-flattering. The light gold facial makeup, plus the blue and red color painting, makes people unsure of the designer's routine. 3. Windmill mask The mask is full of colorful windmills? Is the designer trying to express refreshing invincibility? Or is the refreshing feeling like taking off? 4. Stocking mask This is a scene from the show in 2015. The slender model wears flesh-colored stockings on her head, and the designer draws another face on the stockings...with a fiery red afro. A rebellious and provocative sense of design is coming. 5. Metal mask What do you think of when you see the leaf-shaped metal mask worn by the models on the runway? The tree demon in the mythological drama Liao Zhai? This oriental-style costume is very beautiful, but with this mask, it is nothing but redundant. I am just curious about what design concept the designer wants to express? Green? Environmental protection? 6. Aesthetic mask The face of Lolita is matched with a bun, with an innocent and pure temperament. With this aesthetic mask, it is a bit beautiful. (I also want to have the same one) The hazy veil mask, with embroidery prints and cute rabbit ears, how cute is it? I always feel that the designer's work expresses the designer's deepest thoughts. Designers who can design these beautiful works always have the breadth and brightness of the stars and the sea in their hearts, right? Okay! Today's content about the show mask is shared here. Friends who like it, don't forget to follow it.

- Want More Stylish "Clogs Shoes"? Crocs Echo Marbled Clog Is a Good Choice
With the arrival of summer, Crocs shoes are still the favorite of many students. Classic clogs are comfortable and easy enough and can be worn in almost any situation (it is best to change a pair when driving), because it is too popular - and even becomes the key object of counterfeiting - it will be considered too common by everyone, which has become a contradiction. Crocs attempts have also continued. For example, the Pollex Clog, on which Salehe Bembury collaborated with Crocs, is very successful. It not only has all the characteristics of a classic clog but also embodies a sense of design and uniqueness in its own way (Salehe Bembury has been appointed as the creative director of the Crocs Pollex Pod series). Also exploring this direction is the Echo Clog series. This is also a "redesign" based on the classic shoe shape. The Crocs Echo Marbled Clog, under the series received by the Ideal Life Laboratory editorial department, is one of them. It has "black/flame red" and "bone white/color". We have the latter, which can also become an option for personalization. Like their name suggests, the shoes are covered with a marble print texture. With a carved appearance, the overall shape is more stylish. It will be more contoured than the classic clog (although it will look heavier than the classic clog, but in fact there is almost no difference after wearing it), and there are still holes in the upper. It is no problem to match "Jibbitz." It has a lot of special parts, such as this marble print texture that is different on each pair of shoes, which makes each pair of clogs shoes actually "unique". The holes on the front and side of the upper are also more personalized, and they allow the shoe to maintain breathability and drainage. Like the classic clog, the strap at the heel can be placed behind the heel to fix it, or it can be placed in the front, so that the shoe is more like a pair of slippers and more free to put on and take off. The shoes use a combination of Croslite soles and LiteRide insoles, both of which are fully supportive, which actually gives a double-supported foot feel. The feeling of the upper feet is dense, not purely "stepping on shit". Although there are drains (or vents?) from the outsole, because the LiteRide insole is lined and the insole does not leave holes, the feet in the shoes will not communicate with the ground through the insole. You can still step on the water without worrying about water coming up from the soles. These drains only increase the breathability and drainage capacity (for example, every time you step on the ground, the hot air on the soles of the feet can be discharged through the holes on both sides) and even have the effect of shock absorption and cushioning. The sole says "Designed in Colorado". Crocs is headquartered in Colorado, USA. The final point is that the Crocs Echo Marbled Clog will have a different possibility of wearing than the classic Clog, especially for young people or students who want to reflect their personality in wearing it. It is functional and street style; it can correspond to different styles of wear, and at the same time, it continues to be lightweight and comfortable, so there is no need to worry about getting it dirty or stepping on it. Even though its audience will definitely be much smaller than the classic Clog, it was originally prepared for students who pursue something different. (It is the same style for men and women, but the size is different; girls can also try it.) In addition, it also has slippers (Echo Marbled Slide), which are also marble-printed textures and are also a combination of Croslite soles and LiteRide insoles, but they are still not as outstanding as the Clog models.

REI is the largest professional outdoor retailer in the United States. In 2022, its revenue will increase by 3% year-on-year to a record US$3.85 billion. It operates 181 stores in 42 states in the United States and has more than 23 million members. The full name of REI is Recreational Equipment Incorporated Cooperative (REI Co-op), which is also literally translated as Leisure Equipment Company. In addition to the scale, what makes people more curious is its unique "cooperative model" (Co-op). In this model, members and shareholders have close rights, not only to participate in profit distribution but also to elect board members. Dennis Madsen, who served as the company's president and CEO in the early 21st century, described this model sharply when accepting the Harvard Business Review: We are a cooperative; we are owned by members, and we only need to pay a membership fee once. Of course, employees are important to corporate culture, but our members are just as important. If your company is owned by third-party investors, they will be very focused on stock price and earnings per share and will do whatever it takes to generate profits and achieve growth. But when members take ownership, their interest is not only related to financial numbers. Of course, profitability is still very important if you want to survive in the long run. "The competition in the outdoor retail industry is very fierce. We must strictly operate this business like traditional organizations and enterprises and control income and expenditure. However, our different focus on profits is that we pay more attention to the medium and long term rather than reaching a certain number in the short term, so I'm not worried about how profitable this quarter is compared to last quarter, but I'm focused on providing consumers with high-quality products and services. Of course, this is very friendly to our customers." This article will start with this unique business model and give you an in-depth understanding of this outdoor retail giant that is still little known in China. 23 founders adhere to the "cooperative model" to this day. $224 million in 2022 rebates for members and co-elect board members. Implement the big store strategy; the store is the social center for members. The profit is meager, and the performance fluctuates after the epidemic. 23 founders adhere to the "cooperative model" to this day. In 1935, Lloyd and Mary Anderson, a couple of outdoor sports enthusiasts in Seattle, USA, needed a high-quality ice axe, which cost 20 dollars in a local ski store and was imitated from Austria, which was a lot of money at the time. Instead, they ordered an ice ax direct from Austria and used Mary's German skills to translate the product guide, all for $3.50, including postage. Friends who are also climbers all know about this, and they actively hope to get involved and make this a career. So in 1938, Lloyd and Mary Anderson and 21 local adventurers in the Seattle area formally established REI, each paying a $1 lifetime membership fee when they joined. A lifetime membership is now $30. As the number of members increased, Lloyd consolidated the mission of the cooperative in a written announcement in 1938, committing to expanding the membership scale and ensuring that member purchases were more affordable, minimizing administrative costs, and hiring members as staff. With affordable membership fees, everyone who loves outdoor sports can join. In 1955, American mountaineer Jim Whittaker, who was also a member, was hired as the first full-time employee of REI. He also served as CEO in the 1960s. It is worth mentioning that Jim Whittaker was the first person to ascend Mount Everest. Leveraging his fame, in 1964 his revenue topped $1 million for the first time. Today, REI has more than 23 million lifetime members and has been steadily increasing at an annual rate of 1 million in the past few years. For REI, their goal is 50 million members. $224 million in 2022 rebates for members and co-elect board members. Compared with members of other retailers or brands, REI is most praised for giving members "10% annual eligible shopping rebates", and the total amount of rebates in 2022 will reach 224 million US dollars, which to some extent achieves a profit distribution similar to that of shareholders. In addition to shopping rebates, members can also enjoy a fixed 33% rental discount, a fixed 20% discount on bicycle and snow shop services, and of course a series of services such as free standard delivery (no minimum purchase amount required), an exclusive second-hand equipment trading business, and so on. However, the best embodiment of the "cooperative model" is that REI's board members are elected by the members, and they oversee the company's operations. The board of directors can have up to 14 members for a three-year term. In March of this year, REI announced the latest personnel adjustment, and Apple Musni was appointed as the new Chief People Officer. As a key player in shaping the company's culture, Apple Musni describes the "co-op" as such: a passionate purpose to awaken a lifelong love of the outdoors in all and a belief that the outdoors is something that should be enjoyed by all. Implement the big store strategy; the store is the social center for members. Since its development, REI has sold products covering outdoor clothing, shoes, equipment, tents, accessories, etc. Related sports include cycling, mountaineering, ice and snow skiing, etc. According to the official website, REI has a total of 1,000 cooperative brand products on the shelves, including 2 REI own brands and 1 REI and West Elm joint brand. Among them, there are more than 30 brands with more than 100 products on the shelves. Cooperative brands include international big brands such as Adidas, Arc'teryx, Columbia, The North Face, etc.; emerging brands such as Hoka One One, On Running , etc.; mountaineering-related brands such as Black Diamond, Sea to Summit, Mountain Hardwear, etc.; brands related to ice and snow sports such as Icebreaker, Obermeyer, Dakine, etc.; and brands related to cycling sports such as Bontrager, Pearl Izumi, Shimano, etc. In terms of offline stores, REI adopts a large-store strategy. The store area is generally 25,000 square feet (about 2,300 square meters), and one-third of the area is used for experiential public spaces. REI store positioning allows members to gather together to "plan and share outdoor adventures or just drink coffee" and is no longer limited to the display and sales of outdoor products but is dominated by "experience, education, consultation, and community". The profit is meager, and the performance fluctuates after the epidemic. It is not difficult to guess that under this "benefit sharing" model, REI's profitability will not be too high. Looking at the two years before the epidemic, in 2018 and 2019, REI's net profit margins were only 1.7% and 0.7%, respectively, and in 2020, when the epidemic broke out, it fell into a loss. However, the outbreak of the epidemic has made more people choose to embrace nature and outdoor life, driving REI's sales revenue to increase by 36% in 2021, and its net profit has also reached a record high of 98 million US dollars. But in 2022, sales growth slowed sharply to 2.9%, and the company also fell into a net loss of up to 165 million US dollars. Amid the ups and downs in performance, company president and CEO Eric Artz said in a recent statement: "We continue to stand by our commitment to rewarding our members, and as a cooperative, we are fortunate to have made this long-term choice. However, we remain focused on returning to a path to sustainable profitability to ensure a healthy long-term future. According to the data of the Outdoor Foundation, among the residents over 6 years old, the number of people participating in outdoor sports will reach 160 million in 2020, and the participation rate will reach 52.9% (a year-on-year increase of 2.2 percentage points); the number of camping participants in 2021 is expected to be 5690 million, with a participation rate of 18.6% (a year-on-year increase of 2.8 percentage points). The development situation of the outdoor sports market is gratifying.

- What Fendi Baguette Is Worth to Buy in 2024?
Fendi is an Italian luxury brand and a maternal-centered family business. The five daughters of the Fendi couple and the 11 children of the five sisters are all involved in Fendi. In 1962, Fendi hired Karl Lagerfeld, known as the Caesar in the fashion industry, to design another double-letter logo that everyone in the fashion industry would recognize after Chanel's double C and Gucci's double G. The source of double F is Fun Far. Fendi was formerly a fur store. He also spent 10 million US dollars to hold the famous Great Wall Show in China, creating a classic show in the fashion industry, and designed Karlito based on himself. His existence is inseparable from Fendi's achievements today. Baguette was designed by Ms. Silvia Venturini Fendi, the third generation of the family. The broadcast of "Sex and the City" made the baguette the world's first IT BAG. When the heroine Carrie Bradshaw was robbed of her bag by a thief, she did not forget to emphasize: "It's not a bag, it's a baguette." The word Baguette means "baguette" in French. People are used to calling it "baguette", not because it looks like traditional French bread, but because it is small and slender with long and short shoulder straps. It just fits under the arm, and it reminds people of the elegant and cool French woman walking out of the bakery with French bread under her arm, so someone later joked that the best thing about Baguette handbags is that there are no bread crumbs. Especially the presbyopia baguette bag, which was born in 1997, has been popular for more than 20 years. If you want to buy your first Fendi, then you are right to choose it. The bag is a small and slender type. The shoulder strap is not long and can be tucked under the arm. Coincidentally, it happens to be a popular underarm bag style at the moment. Regarding some of the new styles of baguette bags currently on sale on Fendi’s official website, today I would like to recommend some more interesting and fashionable styles to you. Double F metal buckles, with more than 1,000 different sizes, different materials, different colors, and different patterns. Bag body, no matter what style of dress, you can find the one that suits you best. The first one, a color-blocked sequin and leather bag, the signature medium BAGUETTE bag, embroidered all over with brown gradient-effect metallic sequins in different shapes and sizes. Decorated with FF buckle. Featuring front flap, black leather details, beaded embroidery and magnetic closure. Satin-lined interior single compartment with zip pocket and gold-finish hardware. The bag features removable handles and shoulder strap, allowing it to be carried by hand, shoulder or cross-body. The sequin texture adds more vitality to girls who love fashion. The official website price is $5,000. The brand has also released some sequin elements before, and my favorite is the water snake skin texture sequin handbag below. The iconic Baguette mini handbag is covered entirely with green, white and brown sequins, creating a three-dimensional trompe l'oeil effect that imitates the natural texture of water snake skin. Dark brown leather details. Decorated with FF buckle. These two multi-color sequined handbags are actually more visually pleasing and layered compared to one-color handbags. The second style, the beaded and raffia embroidered Selleria handbag. The design elements of this baguette bag are eye-catching, and it seems to feel the breath of spring. Iconic Baguette medium bag in fabric with colorblock beading and raffia embroidery, inspired by the wicker pattern. Blue Cuoio Romano leather detail with tonal widened hand-stitching. The combination of blue and gray seems to have set off this year's color contrast trend. The official price is $6750. The third one is the Fendi x FRGMT x Pokémon joint series Iconic medium Baguette handbag. Made of fabric with a yellow-toned FF jacquard pattern and oversized FRGMT printed in white on both sides. Decorated with FF buckle. It features a front flap, magnetic closure, an interior compartment lined with yellow FF fabric, a zippered pocket, and an exclusive nameplate from the collaboration. Silver finish hardware. This baguette bag uses the F element to the extreme, and the integrated inside and outside pattern further reflects the characteristics of this bag. The official website price is $3750. There is a similar brown model, which is also the same price. The fourth style is a handbag in artificial crystal-embellished jacquard FF fabric. The iconic medium BAGUETTE handbag is made of jacquard FF pattern fabric and is exquisitely embroidered with more than 350 artificial crystals and rhinestones. Decorated with FF buckle. I have to say that the addition of crystals and rhinestones makes people marvel at the luxurious texture of this bag. I really like it. The hemming decoration of the jewelry does not make it look cumbersome, but complements each other. There are also skirts and shirts from the same range to choose from. The official price is $4600. The fifth style, dove gray crocodile leather handbag. Iconic medium BAGUETTE handbag, from the Stefano Pilati collaboration design series, in exquisite dove gray crocodile leather, decorated with FF buckle. This baguette bag made of high-grade crocodile leather. Although it shows the luster of the leather from a distance, if you look closely, you can see the exquisite crocodile leather texture, which is regular, elegant and smooth to the touch. Of course, the price of this handbag is not unexpected, with the official website selling for $23,000. Silvia Venturini Fendi, the chief designer who created Baguette, once said, Amidst all this chaos, I was asked to design a unique, simple and practical handbag. In a sense, I have to balance technology with simplicity, just like in this day and age. My response was (luckily I'm a maverick) BAGUETTE. It was a betrayal of all that was asked of me. It achieved unexpected success and became the most popular product in the world. Of course, Fendi also has other series of famous and worth buying styles. Follow us and don’t miss timely updates.
- How Do You Choose Sunglasses That Suit You? Tom Ford Sunglasses Selection Criteria
Purchasing sunglasses is still a science. In fact, it is not about UV protection; it is all about looking good. It is said that wearing sunglasses (or doing anything) to be handsome is nothing more than meeting the following two criteria: one is that it suits you, and the other is that you are confident and complacent. The first point is nothing to discuss, and the second point is the balance between appearance and comfort of sunglasses. Just like dressing up, no matter how cool the item is, if it doesn't suit you, it's useless. In addition, if you are uncomfortable or in the wrong place, your physiology will affect your physiology, your thoughts will affect your physiology, and your limbs will feel uncomfortable. This is why people tend to look better in simple clothes because they are comfortable, and others are comfortable when they look at you too. Back to the purchase of sunglasses, I not only referred to various articles on the Internet that started with hair shapes but also read interesting articles such as looking at sunglasses and guessing characters, providing readers with the matching of classic characters and sunglasses. Deepen your understanding of the relationship between sunglasses contours and eyebrow shape. To choose a pair of sunglasses that suits you, the direct and practical way to do so is to check out the classic styles of several classic brands and then go directly to the store to try them on. This is actually fast and convenient and has a high success rate. So tomorrow we will take a different approach to getting to know these four brands sunglasses. They are not actually the most well-known, but they definitely have the same fashion style. I believe that even if you don’t fall in love with them after reading them, you will at least learn more about sunglasses. 1. Tom Ford Sunglasses Probably the first two words that come to everyone’s mind when they hear aviator glasses are: pretend to be cool; oh no, it’s Ray-Ban. It can be done with short hair, a long face, or a pointed nose. Pilots are very handsome. But I know Ray-Ban is really good. If you want to wear with other brands, I highly recommend this pilot style of Tom Ford sunglasses. Tom Ford has always been a designer with a strong business acumen. His accessories series, such as glasses, lipsticks, and perfumes, are all very successful, but no matter what, TF’s pilot series is indeed really so handsome! It's a high-quality product for what it is priced for. Needless to say, textures can be square or round and come in a variety of colors. It's really versatile, like the original aviator-style sunglasses, but without being too fancy. 2. Moscot Sunglasses This old New York family brand, with more than 100 years of history, is full of American retro style. It is fond of plate frames and has a very fashionable appearance. The LEMTOSH series, which combines the advantages of vintage, has Moscot's famous diamond-shaped rivet decoration on the temples, keyhole nose bridge design, and the detailed design of five-claw hinges at the joints. It is an unbeatable retro New York trend. a symbol of culture. 3. Janis Sunglasses The well-known thin steel series is not only comfortable enough to make you look like you are not wearing sunglasses at all, but its minimalist and tough waistline is its unique symbol. However, unless you are very confident that you have a face with glasses, it is recommended to try on round-frame sunglasses first. Although not only the head shape but also the shape is black, it does require intellectual support. 4. Warby Parker Sunglasses Household name Warby Parker will no longer discuss the story of how the budget sunglasses brand created a new business model, all the way to the scale of tomorrow. This narrow square style looks ordinary at first glance, but as long as you are the right one, you will find another beautiful world when you wear a flat frame.
