The CEO comments: "Children's Clothing and Lingerie have developed satisfactorily. Regarding Ladies' Wear, however, the development has not been satisfactory.”
“As a result of delays of several deliveries from some of our biggest purchasing markets we did not have sufficient spring fashion in the stores during January. Since the middle of February the stores have been well-stocked with spring fashion and our product range has been positively received by our customers."
