Every aspect of the new sales platform, which goes live in the second week of May, will be controlled from Brazil, from its operations, infrastructure and logistics to its specialized workforce. A representative of the brand told FashionNetwork.comTrussardi
“The products will be on average 20% cheaper compared to the Brazilian market due to the difference in tax burden and, furthermore, all the work will be handled domestically,” he explained.
