Currently, slightly more than half of the Capri’s global retail fleet of stores are open, but the situation is evolving rapidly. The move is the latest sign that luxury and fashion is slowly and cautiously rebounding after almost all the sector’s global network shut down in March due to the pandemic.
“We are taking a prudent and measured approach to reopening our stores to ensure all necessary precautions are in place while maintaining the exceptional in-store experience our customers expect from our luxury houses. I want to thank our teams around the globe for the hard work and dedication they demonstrate every day. I am incredibly proud of our entire organization as they support each other and their communities during this unprecedented time,” John Idol – Chairman & CEO.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted our lives and our business in ways we could not have anticipated. We have a portfolio of three iconic, founder-led fashion luxury houses that continue to inspire passion and enthusiasm with their customers. As the world emerges from the global shutdown we believe our consumers will once again express themselves through fashion and luxury. We remain confident and optimistic about the long-term opportunities for each of our unique luxury houses,” Idol added.
Throughout its retail network, Capri stressed that it has implemented cleaning and sanitizing procedures, with special attention paid to high-touch surfaces; encouraged consumers to wear a face covering while shopping and made available masks for consumers who do not have their own. While maintaining social distancing rules; hand sanitizers throughout all stores are obligatory.
Staff have been prepared with new health and safety protocols; and will receive new screenings and temperature checks upon arrival at work; and be provided with face coverings and gloves.
