What are the current trading conditions for Petit Bateau?
H.d.S: Like most fashion retailers, almost all of our stores around the world are closed. Only our supermarkets (Note: 1,624 stores worldwide) and e-commerce (7 own-merchant sites and 85 pure players) are open for business. In France, our warehouse remains open with very high security. Although such controls restrict our normal order management, we are delighted to maintain full e-commerce operations.
