News this week: A new international B2B e-commerce
platform, Ordre.com, was
recently launched by Hong Kong-based The
Lock Group featuring
ready-to-wear apparel collections. Participation as a retail buyer on Ordre.com
is by invitation only. The platform does not publically list its buyer network.
The Lock Group was
founded in Australia in 1989. The company’s business portfolio includes organising
annual apparel industry events in Australia and around the Asia-Pacific region.
The sourcing platform currently features apparel from more than 20 fashion designers,
including Chalayan, Emilia Wickstead, House and Holland and Jason Wu. The
platform expects to feature apparel from around 60 designers in the near-term
future.
Ordre.com is reportedly
backed financially by a team of early-stage investors led by Michael Alexander,
CEO of investment firm Jefferies Hong Kong Ltd. The investors are expected to contribute a total
of US$10 million in this round of funding.
