It is doing well, according to the objectives outlined at the time of the Strategy Plan. The brand has had excellent attention. The consultants are satisfied with the quality of services offered to them, due to the distribution centers and also of the Central Services offered to them. The products are well accepted by consumers, especially the lines Elements, Entre 4 Paredes (between 4 walls) and Eudora. We do not use or will use the accessories that we used for the line Entre 4 Paredes, of the newly acquired brands of lingerie (Scalina and Trifil) in the brand porfolio (in truth a minority participation.

What matters is that our system is respected.
