H&M launches new brand in effort to lift slow sales growth.
Hennes & Mauritz is launching its eighth brand and investing heavily to get its clothes faster into shops as the Swedish fashion retailer responds to slow sales. Arket will be launched this autumn, starting with a shop in London, and will offer more expensive clothes than H&M for men, women and children as well as in-store cafes based on the new Nordic cuisine.

The new brand will offer ‘quality in simple, timeless and functional designs’ as well as homeware but will also sell clothes from other brands.‘The aim with it is to grow globally,’ said Karl-Johan-Persson, chief executive, despite the initial store launches being in European cities such as Copenhagen, Brussels and Munich.

H&M has been squeezed by ultra-cheap retailers such as Primark as well as online fashion sites such as Zalando. It was overtaken several years ago by Inditex – the Spanish owner of Zara – as the world’s biggest clothing retailer. The Swedish group has responded by launching a range of new brands, including more upmarket stores such as Cos and & Other Stories, as well as making a big push into online sales.

Mr Persson confirmed that the retailer was working on the launch of its ninth brand – probably next year – as well as standalone versions of its H&M Home stores next year. H&M has other, more youth-orientated brands such as Monki, Cheap Monday and Weekday.
The new launch comes against a backdrop of weaker sales growth than expected. H&M blamed tough market conditions in the USA and Central and Eastern Europe for the poor sales growth, which seem set to continue.

Investors took fright at a sharp rise in stock levels but Mr Persson tried to reassure them that ‘the composition [of the stock] is good’ with a ‘clear majority’ in classic styles. H&M’s shares were down 5.1 percent to SKr225 in afternoon trading on Thursday at their lowest level in almost four years.

Mr Persson said that H&M also needed to improve its supply chain, becoming faster to market with its clothes. ‘The world has changed a lot with people buying digitally. At the same time the H&M group has become more complex with different markets, different needs, online sales. We see a great opportunity and necessity to improve the supply chain to become more speedy.
