2 The Beginnings Alessandro Ferrone laid the foundations for what is today FERRONE Spa. His entrepreneurial and human qualities enabled him to transform the fabrics trade he began immediately after WWII into a veritable industry, starting up and developing all phases of the textiles market. Today Ferrone Spa produces and exports worldwide 2 million articles of clothing every year, with a portfolio of two brands, SANDRO FERRONE and SWEET SIZE (this last line was created in 2003) with a practise positioning in terms of style, price and distribution channel. Alessandro Ferrone was appointed Cavaliere del Lavoro (Knight of Labour) in June 2005 by the Federazione Nazionale di Cavalieri del Lavoro. What they say about us FERRONE, A REVOLUTION IN FAST FASHION, IL GIORNALE The daily Il Giornale dedicated an entire article to Spa a company converted in the 1990 s into a join stock company is not feeling the crisis. Ready to expand throughout northern Italy, it recently launched three new franchise points of sale. THE N KING OF READY-TO-WEAR FASHION, IL SOLE 24 ORE The daily Il Sole 24 ore speaks of Roman businessman Alessandro Ferrone as... a Roman businessman who is not feeling the crisis, and indeed in this dark period has a plan to open new franchised shops: 3 in Milan.

3 Company profile SANDRO FERRONE today is an extraordinary name in the panorama of fast fashion MADE IN ITALY. Since the beginnings SANDRO FERRONE brand has positioned itself well in the market of contemporary clothing. Its presence in the Italian and international commercial areas consists of a network of singlebrand retailers for which SANDRO FERRONE represents a real opportunity for success. Sandro Ferrone is present with an ever-increasing number of franchises in Italy and abroad. The solid energy between POS service, quality and excellent price balance is repaid by great trust on the part of the trade and the final customer. There are many POS positioned worldwide; in Italy, they are located mainly located in the Central and Southern part of the country, where the firm is present with some 100 single-brand POS including three recent boutiques in MILAN and 30 in Rome positioned in perfect balance among the main tourist routes and shopping centres where this brand is an uncontested leader. The SANDRO FERRONE brand is present internationally in Portugal, Spain, France, and Saudi Arabia. In addition to single-brand distribution, there is a growing number of multibrand shops, well selected and vetted. The company s philosophy is to have kept up with the daily tastes and trends among Italian women. From the manufacturer to the customer, with no niddlemen; winning intuition, today the cornerstone of a philosophy that points to a linear and immediate distribution chain. SWEET-SIZE The new SWEET SIZE collection, from Sandro Ferrone, was created in 2003 to satisfy the women s desires who wear sweet sizes, free from the totem of size 42 at any rate. When we speak of large sizes, we are dealing with an article of covering that covers more that it dresses, often very classic, and at a high price. Sandro Ferrone has overthrown this status quo and is producing cutting-edge, trendy clothing that enhances the softness and sensuality of women, attracting even young customers.

4 Business system Key concept: a basic collection 800 models quality/price balance real time restocking of the fastest-selling models weekly small flash ads flash ads designed for SALES (retailers mark-on percentage unchanged) purchase timing designed to optimise warehouse inventories personalised retailers support Objectives: prompt updating of the POS image low percentage of inventory prior to the retailers sales periods (10% of seasonal business volume) low risk of unsold product at POS (purchased broken down into small quantities weekly)

5 Timing of the collections FALL-WINTER SPRING/SUMMER

6 STRENGTHS FAST FASHION Model The philosophy of the SANDRO FERRONE brand is inspired by large scale retailing, a readyto-wear fashion system, very fast, with times very close to market needs. In our seasonal offerings, 60% of the products turn over constantly, so that there is always something new, with consequent optimisation of the POS warehouse, which at the end of the season never has an inventory of more than 5% of the volume of merchandise purchased. Compared to the traditional model of two collections a year, Sandro Ferrone introduces the concept of five collections distributed and sold with the same speed at which market attitudes and behaviours change. Final customers know that the brand renews its offer every week, and they visit the POS often (at least twelve times a year, compared with 4 for the competition). The advantages of investing with us The Sandro Ferrone brand is not just a reliable boutique but a solid franchisor with decades of experience with the clothing market experience and its dynamics. Simple, effective management Thanks to the company s operational and technical support, even the new business owner can act with the security of the experienced businessman in creating a pleasing and popular boutique.

11 Sandro Ferrone in the web The evolution towards digital communication is handled by the company, which integrates into a single flow its communication, style and corporate management. This brand s style in fact, involves offering micro-collections that are renewed weekly. Customers are accustomed to seeking out new ideas, new emotions, new sensations, and the magic can occur if everything follows a perfect line going from the genius of the stylists to the manufacture of the clothing, to logistic, warehouse management and shipping. And now there is online the Sandro Ferrone magazine - an area reserved just for B2B area business. The web is simply an environment without walls, without geographic references but otherwise it is completely like a showroom.

14 Retail Stores management Franchising Shop in Shop Multibrands Store concept A team of in-house architects develops the SANDRO FERRONE and SWEET SIZE store concept and coordinates the franchise store openings. Visual merchandising Creates the windows for each season, coordinates shop acquisition and plans periodic efforts with each POS worldwide to build a unified brand identity.

15 POS design EU2 MILANO MARGHERA MILANO BUENOSAIRES MILANO VITTORIO EMANUELE Planning and design involves the entire redefinition of the interior space, which we try to design based on the POS s type and location; cities and shopping centre. The SANDRO FERRONE points of sale feature modern, innovative furnishings placed in very discreet ways. When designing, our architects try to focus attention on light, diffused in some areas and scenic in others, on the lighted outdoor sign enhancing the entrance and window which, when possible made with a single leaf and completely transparent glass.

16 Store Concept Shopping Centre Single-brand shops in shopping centres are offered to customers as direct spaces where every display environment is designed to give the customer the utmost freedom of choice, in accordance with the shop s ready-to-wear philosophy, refined and immediate, Fashions and accessories are displayed to be touched, taken into the dressing room, tried on and purchased easily. It is the easy philosophy of fast fashion that our team of architects has interpreted according to the architectural lexicon of interiors with special attention to the customer, capable of conveying a familiar atmosphere, and at the same time an elegant and refined one. This is an example of a store concept dedicated above all to the new architectural phenomenon of the shopping centre that so characterises lifestyles in contemporary society.

17 Store Concept City The SANDRO FERRONE franchises located in the cities are always planned with different designs depending on the type of POS. Often modern architectural styles that stand out from one another with constant and daring contrasts of shiny and opaque surfaces and plays of light and shadow that make the shop atmosphere elegant and exciting. Specious entrances, transparent, inviting, with broad windows that look out onto the main streets of the city and provide an ample view of the shop from outside. The furnishings and materials in neutral tones blend together and give the entire ambience a clear sense of space.
