It was small because we had limited resources

Posted by Robin on 21 March 2017 Leave a Comment

If there’s a product I can’t do myself because we don’t have the know-how, it means that I can have an idea and LVMH will have the expertise to explore new territories and products. I’m not afraid of being bigger, but I think you need the right people to implement what I am creating.

Marc [Chaya, co-founder] and I never thought we were niche. When you start a company, you start small. We were privately funded from the two of us, as well as a third party, so it was small because we had limited resources.

Perfume on eBay in France, part 3

Posted by Robin on 11 July 2008 12 Comments

The French Court of Appeals today denied eBay’s petition to stay an injunction issued June 30 by a Parisian court that requires eBay to halt all sales of four LVMH perfumes [Kenzo, Guerlain, Dior, Givenchy] over any site worldwide that is accessible from France, according to an eBay spokesperson.

[...] The lower court’s order bans not just sales of counterfeits, but sales of genuine bottles of these perfumes [...] According to lawyers for both sides, the injunction even forbids individuals from reselling genuine LVMH products that they received as gifts.
