In this the back half of our conversation, Arnault discusses how Kapok works with brands in his store and talks about which brands are doing well by resonating with consumers in Asia. We also dive into whether or not it’s important to have a brick-and-mortar presence in today’s D2C environment. We also discuss some of the risks he’s taken that have paid off, as well as the ones that haven’t. We close out the conversation by looking at the future of commerce and retail in Asia.
