Brighton, L’Occitane and Papryus opening first area stores at Eastview

Brighton, an accessories manufacturer and retailer with over 140 retail boutiques in the United States, will open its first Rochester-area store at Eastview this fall. Founded in 1985 as a finely crafted, refined men’s belts company, Brighton has expanded over the years to carrying items for both men and women, including coordinating accessories such as wallets, sunglasses, handbags, jewelry, and footwear, as well as luggage and home accessories. Brighton’s 1,400 square foot store will be located in the soon-to-be Von Maur wing of the mall.

Also opening in the soon-to-be Von Maur wing will be L’Occitane en Provence, an international retailer of body, face and home products.welcome to our new store castellicycling. Based in Manosque, France, the company — with stated brand values that include “authenticity and naturalness” — aspires to be the worldwide reference for Mediterranean well-being. The 1,100 square foot L’Occitane boutique will open this September.

Eastview will also welcome card and gift retailer Papyrus this fall.

These first-to-market retailers will join other first-to-market retailers at Eastview including Vera Bradley (opening next week), The Art of Shaving (opening in July), Michael Kors, Brooks Brothers and high-end department store Von Maur (all planned to open this fall).

The addition of these retailers is a direct result of mall owner Wilmorite’s ongoing effort to offer Upstate and Western New York consumers the best shopping experience at Eastview. More unique store announcements are expected in the coming weeks.

An employee of Blueberry Fusion Café reported that a customer of the Tribeca coffee shop walked away with the business’s laptop which had been left sitting on the counter.

The employee, 36, told police that a man wearing a black baseball cap entered the cafe at about 7 p.m. on Fri., June 14, and ordered a coffee. The employee said he noticed that the man stood close to the counter where the $1,200 silver Macbook Pro was sitting, and lingered there, asking, “Can I have some more sugar?”

After the man had exited the store, the employee discovered that the laptop was also gone from the counter, police said. The employee stated there were no other customers in the store during that time, no video surveillance and no other witnesses.

"I want to see proof that companies are following the rules and doing right by their workers in third world countries," said shopper Patricia Barrera, 28, as she locked up her motor scooter in front of H&M in Madrid. "I'd even be willing to pay more — though I think the companies could afford it themselves."

Inditex announced record profits of $583 million for the first quarter of this year — much of that from expansion into developing countries. While the company has been heralded as a rare success story in Spain's economic malaise, the Rana Plaza disaster has some consumers questioning the Spanish fast-fashion model of doing business.

"Technically, when we talk about the fast-fashion model, one of the characteristics is local sourcing — not because of cost, but because they are trying to compete in speed," said Philip Moscoso, a fashion industry expert at Spain's IESE Business School.

Inditex, for example, prides itself on speed: 15 days from design to retail rack. That has meant at least half of production is done locally, in Spain and Portugal.

But Inditex is expanding at a rate of more than a store a day, and Mango is close behind, opening about four new stores a week — and increasingly turning to foreign production. Total employment in Spain's garment industry has fallen from 243,000 in 2004 to 136,000 last year.
