On 25th January, 2024, JD Worldwide, announced the launch of its first self-operated direct procurement warehouse for fashion goods in Paris, France.
This important announcement is pivotal to JD.com’s cross-border e-commerce strategy. The new warehouse will simplify market entry for European brands to the Chinese market.
A Curated Selection of Fashion Pieces From Acclaimed Brands
Located in Val-d’Oise, a suburb of Paris, the warehouse will exclusively store fashion merchandise from countries including France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain.
The facility houses a curated selection from over 100 brands across product categories, including apparel, beauty products, jewelry, and luxury items.
Louis Zhang, General Manager of Luxury & Fashion at JD Worldwide, said “Our strategy focuses on expanding our supply chain to the very locations where brands are based. This approach not only meaningfully reduces fulfillment costs for local sellers but also provides faster delivery, competitive pricing, and reliable service for our customers.”
“This innovative approach is designed to unlock new possibilities for more SMEs and specialty brands from Europe, providing them with an entry point into China’s vibrant and dynamic fashion market.”
A Brand-New Online Store for the Paris Warehouse
JD Worldwide has also launched a dedicated online store directly linked to the Paris facility. JD Worldwide processes all orders placed on the JD app and ships these for delivery across China. JD’s advanced cross-border logistics capabilities facilitate this process, ensuring seamless deliveries.
