The youngest label of GERRY WEBER International AG, will be discontinued. As part of the current Performance Programme and the extensive transformation, the company will now focus on its core brands, GERRY WEBER, TAIFUN and SAMOON as well as HALLHUBER. The talkabout label was launched in June 2016. The brand was developed exclusively for wholesale customers and is positioned in a niche between Mainstream and Contemporary. Most recently, talkabout had about 170 customers in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Benelux as well as in Budapest and Prague. The last collection will be delivered in February 2019. GERRY WEBER's talkabout label was the first pure wholesale brand with a fully vertically integrated monthly collection and customised merchandise management for specialist retailers. It allowed the company to gain valuable experience, which will now benefit the core brands. Based on forward cover planning, the customised merchandise management system will be installed for the GERRY WEBER, TAIFUN and SAMOON brands starting next year.
