Rixo launches UK resale platform with generous terms
Ten years after the business launched and with plenty of its pieces now in circulation, vintage-inspired contemporary womenswear brand Rixo has launched a resale operation called Rixo Pre-Loved. The company said of this: 'Since launching in 2015, we've been committed to creating future vintage that people cherish and pass down through generations. Rixo Pre-Loved is our new official resale platform only available to UK customers, that further cements our commitment to creating timeless treasures and breathes new life into your past loves.' Customers are able to both buy and sell Rixo pieces — whether pre-owned by them or sourced directly from the company. The platform will include 'rare gems and one-of-a-kind styles, including exclusive, hand-picked pieces from our founders' Henrietta and Orlagh's own wardrobes'. To sell their items, shoppers need to take photos of their piece(s) and answer 'a few quick questions before submitting for review'. Once an item has been approved and sold, the seller will be emailed a pre-paid shipping label. The terms seem quite generous and payment will happen after the item has been received, coming either as the resale value or 110% in-store credit to shop new Rixo pieces. The development comes after a busy period for the company. The London-based firm set foot in Ireland physically for the first time in May with the label opening its first store there in upmarket outlet destination Kildare Village. And last autumn it released its debut homewares collection, 'Casa Rixo', aiming to 'bring the Rixo aesthetic to the home'. Just under a year ago, it made the New York City Prince Street pop-up it had launched a few months earlier into a permanent retail store 'in response to the tremendous success and positive feedback from the local community and visitors since the store's opening'. The positive impact of the pop-up had contributed to an increase of 43% in direct sales (both store and e-commerce) in the US since it opened. But while it has been very active on the store opening front generally, the investment required has dented its profits. Its latest set of accounts — for 2023/24 — were filed this spring and showed revenue dipping marginally in an 'uncertain market with subdued consumer spending in a period of difficult trading conditions'. But operating profit was down to just over £303,000 from £2.3 million a year earlier. Profit before tax also dropped sharply to £391,000 from £2.3 million and net income fell to £251,000, down from £1.8 million. The company's administrative expenses increased from £9.2 million in the previous financial year to £11.2 million as it continued to build brand awareness by investment in digital and brand marketing alongside opening stores.

The 14 vintage baby names from 1900 surging in popularity as parents go for ‘cheerful, colourful & celestial' choices
WE all know picking a baby name doesn't come easily for parents, but as with most things, trends come back around time and time again. And in recent years, it seems many parents are gaining inspiration from the 1900s as many 2 Picking a name for your baby? Here's what names are growing in popularity Credit: Getty - Contributor 2 Many of the popular names are from the 1900s as parents want traditional names back Credit: Getty It appears that many vintage names have stood the test of time as over 14 names from the era are being used by millennial parents. So if you're an expecting parent and Baby name experts at top boy and girl names from the era making a comeback and why they're getting popular again. Girl Names Adelaide READ MO~RE ON BABY NAMES According to the moniker experts, names with the 'ad' sound like Adeline, Madeline, Addison, and Adele are all on the rise in the UK, but Adelaide is arguably the most distinctive of the bunch. There are also plenty of nickname options that come with the name including Addie and Heidi, the latter of which is a longtime favourite in the UK. Bea Originally, this was a nickname for the Most read in Fabulous British parents love this take on the classic name and was ranked within the Top 100 names from 2013 to 2019. Mum accused of 'child abuse' after showing off 'giant' 4-month-old baby whose size is 'off the charts' Birdie "Birdie rose over 180 spots between 2022 and 2023, making it an extremely hot name," says "It was once a nickname for full forms like Bertha and Berenice, which are unlikely to come back into fashion anytime soon." Cecilia According to the data, Cecilia is on the rise in many English-speaking countries, including the US and UK. It's a classic name from the Victorian era but it was neglected as other trendy traditional names gained popularity like Amelia and Charlotte. However, due to being forgotten for years, it now has a fresher feel parents are loving. Estelle Estelle and other starry and celestial names (think Celeste, Luna, Aurora, Nova, Selena) are really having a moment right now according to the name pros. Parents who are drawn to the celestial name trend as well as vintage names are likely to use Estelle. Goldie While this was traditionally a nickname for someone with blonde hair, Goldie is now fair game for the birth certificate. "It rose over 260 spots on the charts in 2023, making it one of the fastest-rising girl names in the UK," adds Nameberry. "Many parents like its cheerful and colourful associations." Henrietta We Brits love a unique name apparently, and Henrietta fits the bill . With other traditional yet rarely used names like Matilda, Harriet, and Ottilie going mainstream, Henrietta has captured parents' eyes. Opal Another trend Nameberry has picked up on is 'O' names becoming more and more popular. Olivia, Orla, Olive, and Ottilie have surged in use and Opal appeals as an option that has the trendy sound without the widespread popularity (for now). Viola Floral names like Lily, Poppy, Daisy, and of course, Violet, have always been popular in the UK. But Viola is an alternative with a strong vintage sensibility and a music connection that will appeal to certain sets of parents. The struggle of choosing a baby name CHLOE Morgan, a Senior Writer at Fabulous, has revealed her dilemma on choosing a baby name... At 35 weeks pregnant, by far the trickiest part of pregnancy for me in the past few months (minus the insomnia and countless night-time wee breaks!) has been trying to decide on a baby name. The dilemmas are endless... My partner and I went for a private scan to find out the gender as early as we could - partly due to the fact we thought it would make baby naming so much easier because we'd only have to come up with a list of names for one gender rather than two. How wrong we were... I was absolutely thrilled to be told I was expecting the baby girl I'd already dreamed of, but being one of the last of my friends to fall pregnant, I've had countless conversations over the years with excited pals discussing their top With each friend mentioning at least 10 possible monikers, I can't help but feel like several are now a no-go even though I know it's something that none of them would mind in the slightest - it's a total me problem! The debate comes up time and time again on social media forums - can you choose the same name that was a "potential" for a friend's baby? It's a very divisive topic and opinions are always I don't want to be THAT person. While some will argue there's thousands of other names out there to choose from, others will say you need to choose YOUR all, there's no guarantee that person will even have another baby. Then there's also the issue of finding a name you to research it online and read one negative comment amongst hundreds of positives that you just can't shake off. I made that very mistake when I fell in love with a certain name (I won't reveal it because I don't want to ruin it for others!) ...only to see someone point out that it constantly gets autocorrected on a phone to something rather rude instead. So, back to the drawing board we went.. Just five weeks to go and it looks like our little one is going to be known as 'baby gal' for a little while longer! Boy Names Alvin Classic names starting with Al- like Alfred and Albert — not to mention Alfie and Albie — have always been popular in the U. Alvin and Alvie follow the trend as well but as it has been neglected for so long, it has a certain uniqueness to it (for now). Laurence A traditional choice that is neither too common nor too obscure, Laurence appeals to parents searching for the perfect 'sweet spot' boy name says the naming experts. Plus, this spelling easily lends itself to the nickname Laurie. Laurie Laurie is a soft and gentle boy name with a classic British nickname vibe. It saw a jump in usage after the release of Greta Gerwig's Little Women adaptation in 2019 played by Timothée Chalamet. Ozzie / Ozzy Ozzy is the dominant form of this name, but both variations are rising across the English-speaking world. The name is energetic and makes for a great nickname for other 'O' names like Oliver, Otis, and Otto. However, Ozzy full forms like Oswald and Osborn have yet to join the UK charts.
