S15 E05: Filippo Arnaboldi, CEO of Frette

[Music] You're listening to the luxury item, the podcast on the business of luxury and the people and companies that are shaping the future of the luxury industry. Here's your host, Scott Kerr. From royal chambers to five star suites, 165-year-old luxury Italian linen house Fretta has become an essential for discerning taste makers, celebrities, and ultra-high-knit worth consumers. Rooted in Italian artistry and craftsmanship, Fretta's legacy is one of timeless elegance, where the finest natural fibers are transformed by master artisans in Monsa and Milan into creations that embody luxury, creativity, and thoughtful personalization. Renowned for its immutable finish and feel, Fretta has graced the world's most iconic destinations from the altar of St. Peter's Basilica to the dining car of the Orient Express, while more than 500 European royal families have slept beneath its sheets. My guest on the luxury item is Filippo Arnavaldi, CEO of Fretta. Arnavaldi is not only maintaining Fretta's history as a leader in luxury bedding and champion of Italian craftsmanship, but he's also capitalizing on the trend of making the entire home into a sanctuary by expanding the brand beyond the bedroom and into the world of lifestyle, keeping pace with the expectations of today's luxury consumer. In his 26 years with Fretta, Filippo has touched all aspects of the business. So when appointed to CEO in 2017, he had a firm grasp on what makes Fretta the ultimate embodiment of luxury. Welcome to the luxury item, Filippo. "Hello Scott, thank you for having me." I'm so happy to have you here. You know, Fretta is a story-at-tallion company with a rich history dating back 165 years. It's known for its world-class luxury linens, particularly in the world of bedding and home textiles. The brand is renowned for providing linens to the world's most prestigious hotels, iconic properties, royal families throughout Europe, and other discerning clients, of course. I think a great place to start for my listeners is a brief history of Fretta's origins. How did the linens become a symbol of luxury and craftsmanship in the world of home textiles? Thank you Scott. Admiral Fretta was born in Grenoble, as you said in France. There is a why he founded Fretta in Concord, so that he's a little town outside of Milan on nearby Bonza. It's because back then, Bonza was already well established, industrialized textile region in Italy. He was looking for more sophisticated textile with the machine, looms. That's why he moved to Concord. He met two Italian gentlemen. Italian families were already in textile business. He found the right partners to establish this great brand. That's why he moved from the mountain in France to this little town in Italy outside of Milan, where we are still today, after over 165 years. Edmond had immediately a great idea. He loved textile. He loved the idea to bring very complicated patterns through a jacquard weaving into the most beautiful hotels, already back then, and Royal Palaces. He started really developing the idea to go into first of all hotels. So hotels is really where the company started. Back then, he was not even selling the finished product. He was selling the finished fabric. We talked about it in '65. The hotels had the possibility to really do the cutting. It was a very interesting process. Immediately, he understood that the hotel guests were going to be his very best clients. He opened the first French boutique in 1965 in Monts-About. He established this great product and brand within the Italian family, back then, that Italy became a kingdom in 1861. And Frater was established in 1860. So, certainly, he immediately managed to get into the Royal family and started providing the most iconic passes, houses. That's why, due to the very complicated design and partnership, he established Frater brand in Italy, only in Italy back then, within the most influential families in Italy. So, even back then, he wanted to build a brand right from the beginning. He immediately understood that the brand was a symbol of quality and partnership. The fact that at the certain point had more than 35 stores just in Italy. We are talking again at the end of the 1800, beginning of the 1900. So, from Conco right, so there were carriages living the factory and bringing the textile and the fish product around Italy. We are stores in Sicily, in Sardinia, in Naples, in Rome. So, he has been so smart that he understood that he had to develop a way to communicate with his consumers. And due to one of his party trip to the US, he launched, it's funny, but he launched a direct mailing marketing approach. And today, within our archive, we have these beautiful, beautiful catholos, very nice, well-done, designed by a nice photographer. So, he developed a well-salesforce and marketing way to reach all his customers in Italy. And as I said, we had to about, I believe, 40 stores around Italy. And as you said, hospitality is the core pillar of your business. That segment includes supplying luxury litins and related products to high-end hotels, cruise lines, and other hospitality venues. Your roster of hospitality clients reads like a world's best hotels and resorts list. The Ritz Carlton, St. Regis, Waldo, Fistoria, Conrad Hotels, Four Seasons Hotels, Rosewood Hotels, The Lisco's On and On. So, with distinctive superior service being more important now than ever, an affluent customer's valuing unique experiences over opulent formality, do these properties actually leverage the Frette brand into marketing their guest experiences? That's a very good question. When I joined Frette, the hospitality business was not as important as it is today. Right now, it's about 50% of the penetration worldwide of our so-called hospitality business and that many 50% is business to consume, therefore, that I clear up at the stores and online. But what is very important is that many years ago, hospitality was already in this business. I can say it was a commodity. Started probably ten years and, or the way for today, hotels are obviously looking into Frette not as a manufacturing company, but as a brand. Why? Because we are a consumer brand. We are a global brand. We are in all the different continents, Asia, China, Italy and the entire United States and America. So, they understand that their guests are obviously recognition, recognition, they brand Frette brand, not just as a product. So, it's a brand of our hotel partners are coming to us and looking for something specific for their guests. And I never try to sell a product. We really sell a brand that embodies a cardmichip, quality and other service. It's a more complicated business proposition because not just about selling, but it's really about understanding what the different properties, whether they are large hotel chains such as risk art or serenities or boutique hotels. For us, it's important to understand where brand, where DNA, if there is anything specific about the building, is there any iconic item or iconic part on the facade, then we start from there. And the first question that we ask to the property is, who is your client? Who are you targeting? How do you want to differentiate yourself? versus the other brand. So that's why hotels do recognize, you know, frite as a brand and not as a manufacturing company. Do they ever put it in their marketing material? These luxury hotels that they that the guests will be sleeping and experience frite the frite brand? Yes, they do. We now have a dedicated marketing department that is the beginning, try to understand what is the best marketing collaboration we can develop. Obviously, at the end of your tals, they want to retain their clients. They want to really have their guests coming back. And for different, you know, marketing, activation activities and even through selling the same product that you're experiencing in the hotel, they try to develop these great, let's call you to lawyer approach in order for the guests to go home and to bring home a piece of their memory because at the end of the memory, you stay in a beautiful property, you sleep, you dine, you do different things, but you have an incredible memory and a beautiful experience. And this is what I believe that I brought them forward because for me is not about selling is about developing a partnership with our hotel, a Brian's and understanding what is the defective brand can bring to the table as an added value. You said an interview that hotels are the key to reaching younger generations who are wellness obsessed and are connected to the finer things in life through more frequent travel and social media. We know that younger generations are increasingly aware of the importance of sleep wellness, but how do you make them care about the linens they sleep on? Sleep is at least for me. It's such an important part of your daily journey and for me is the best medicine. So more and more, everybody is talking about the sleeping experience. I mean, for me, it's crucial. And the younger generation, more and more are seem to be more interested into experiences. And the way we really try to explain is for us. So we use really hotels as laboratories. We work with different hotels, hotels that are catering, you know, a younger generation versus more established brands. And some hotels are even offering is leaping manual experience. So before you check in, you can decide whether you prefer sleeping in cotton satin, if you prefer sleeping in cotton per kale. So we try to really give importance to all the different textile experiences that the guests are going to have in your tail. And we see that the young generation, but also, you know, the less young generation are very much into these, let's call it sleep experience, but more and more into wellness. And we receive a lot of being with I can tell you that hotels for us are the best marketing platform is the best window for the brand, because we receive a lot of inquiries from the tests. And we work with the tests constantly, we receive inquiries from hotel manager director of room subscribers and asking, you know, questions on, you know, the different requests that they're receiving from the consumers, collaterals, different marketing, you know, collaterals that we put into the hotels are explaining what's, what's so special about the sleeping experience they're going to have. The turn down is becoming a very important ceremony when you're going to not tell. So we really work with hotel about what is the best way to prep the room when the clients are going back home. It's about the lighting, the sound, the actual, you know, turn down. So how you open the bed, you invite clients to really sleep into the bed and get you relaxed. So it's really, you know, it's ceremony and during this ceremony with the helper with some, you know, collateral materials we're trying to explain to the consumer, the importance of, you know, sleeping in in in fact. And again, it's not that easy. Frette is not about the brand. It means we don't splash the brand in any, any hour. And so we try to be as distributed because it's a personal experience and it's still about pumping yourself in the best quality. So when you joined Frette's North American marketing team in 1998, Frette was largely unknown in the US. It really hadn't taken hold in the market yet. I believe there were only a couple of US retail stores and only a few hospitality partners. What were the key strategies that helped Frette accelerate its growth to where it is today? Long time ago, yeah, I mean, when I joined Frette, we only had to stores a very, very old store in a radio drive and the other one in Mason Avenue. Frette has been in the US since 1978. So the key to accelerating our growth was to, I want to say, reposition the brand. The brand was a sleeping beauty was primarily an Italian brand. So our distribution was only Italy, France, UK and the US. Fengar the Frette family opened the US market back in as I said, 1978. And they did a good job in positioning anyway, the Frette brand in the US higher than in Europe. So we immediately opened more store. Retail has been the first answer. We understood that in order to reach out to our clients, we had to open more locations. So we expanded our retail presence. We focus on building brand awareness, force, appetite, even to hospitality back then, as I said, was not as relevant as today was more commodity. We were looking for great white sheets. We were not looking for any specific product. We re-focus the distribution. I mean, there's more business that we had. There was all over the place and there was not clear message in terms of positioning who we want to be. And we are targeting the consumer without giving a clear message. But retail has been the major focus in a few years. We opened many, many stores on this coast, on the west coast. We introduced new products. And these ads helped to really, let's say, put a foundation of the brand and to start the journey that we are continuing today. And you were appointed as CEO in 2017. The Frette business was pretty robust at the time. How did you see the brand evolving? And where did you see the opportunity to build upon the Frette's existing legacy to position it for future growth? I became CEO in August 2017. The business, the major business was already in the US. We had major issues outside the US. Data and business was declining. There was no clarity again on the positioning of the Frette brand. So we had to close many stores in Italy because there were a B or C locations and there were not sort of a luxury experiences for our clients. Again, I believe at what I did quite nicely back then is to understand that hospitality and retail have and must go hands in hands because of what we just paid before. The guests of the hotels are our clients and our clients can become guests. That's why we're developing marketing activations. And I was convinced that there was only one way to rebuild the luxury brand. Not defining Frette as a betting company. I don't like the betting world, especially in Italian, Bianca Liapela Casa, because it immediately brings down, in my opinion, the perception of the brand. We are not a betting company. We are a luxury home lifestyle brand. And even to a lifestyle is a very generic brand. It means that I want to be relevant for our consumers in many occasions during the day or throughout their different journeys. When they're flying, we work with our line companies. When they sail on their private yacht or on very beautiful cruise lines, whether they shop or line, they are in our different stores around the world. So we are positioned ourselves within the luxury arena. I don't consider Frette to have any competitive within the bedding area. And this is what really, I thought was the right decision to do. If you look at Friday, we are in the same locations of the usual luxury players, because we won't really go after those consumers sophisticated, but understands quality, carnish, and the very expecting a certain service level. And so this is something that we started back then, but it's an ongoing journey that is going to go on and on and on. It's not that we have already figured out, you know, all the different aspects of the future of the brand. Did you also increase investments in e-commerce and digital growth? We launched, yes, we did, we do constantly. We launched, by the way, we have been a pioneer because Friday launched e-commerce in 2008. So many, many, many years ago here in the US. And e-commerce, again, is not just e-commerce, is a website, is a way to tell a story, to portray the threat of brand. We are investing heavily in contents. If you serve our website more and more, you can see that there are videos. We are telling, you know, the different punishments we have with hotels. We are trying not just to talk about our products, so the e-commerce is a channel, especially this year, where we are heavily investing in contents and also in a way to acquire new clients and explaining the threat of the story. We want to become a total omnichannel company. So we have clients, I'm going to tell you a story, in 10 days ago, we had a client in Italy from Croatia, but he spent 35,000 euro online. Then he was walking right outside of our store in Milan or in Germany. And he saw the French sign, he said, "Oh wow, this is the brand that they just shot online." So he walked into the store, we've been in location for many, many, many years. And our great sales advisor Fatima, through the site in Santa Vanilla, that we just launched a few months ago. We have a beautiful trade where you can touch all the different fabrics and you start from there because we want to ask you how do you actually this gentleman, because of the first online experience, went to the store and ended up spending half a million euro. So certainly the integration of your online and the physical stores is very important. I truly believe that the physical stores must stay and remain because we need to have clients touching our products. So investment in marketing are absolutely crucial online because our line is going to bring business also within our own stores. Yeah, I'm curious. The US is Fretta's number one market. You have standalone boutiques in less-high counted eight locations in the US, and the rest are scattered in Italy, UK, France, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, Russia, parts of Asia, and other top luxury shopping locations. You were talking about boutiques, so how, when they walk in, how do you immerse customers in the Fretta brand experience? As I said, for example, we have a redesigned completely, a store concept. So in the US, sorry, we are going to open a new store into Toronto Canada with a new store design. And then slowly we will be updating all the current US stores and those around the world. The new store design is thinking and showcasing the brand in a completely different way. First of all, we'd like to have some many bags. The message is we're not a bad company. We are showcasing all our products in different ways, so far, so chairs were developing latter tablets. So we're going to become more showcases, show rooms, and way to show how our products can be used in different ambiances. And now the typical retail environment, we have developed a beautiful bespoke area that is called the chain table. So it's going to allow clients as soon as they walk into the store to see different finishing, different customization, personalization. You can select whatever fabric you prefer and then doing different embellishments. So it's going to be more, how do you say, there's going to be more interaction with the clients, not the typical retail environment where you go in and they're going to ask you how can I help you and I'm going to walk you through the different areas of the store. But we hope the clients will feel more comfortable and we feel at home, we're going to turn the clients, we're creating again, this bespoke area. And this is a new store design that we launched. I was in China two weeks ago in Shanghai and we're going to have read out in the next probably two, three years around the world. And you have a boutique and key at a curiosity, how has that been impacted by the war? The crazy story, honestly, I don't know how is that possible. I mean, we have a partner, we don't manage that store in Kiev, but based on the narrative that the lady is telling me because I meet with her once a year in Milan, I instilled demand. I don't ask me how, but despite what is happening, it is the demand. But it's the same in Beirut, we have a story in Beirut and right after Beirut had a major explosion in the harbor, still we had demand from clients. So I can't ask what is this question, I highly know that clients are still demanding, regardless, what's happening around the world. It shows the power of the brand. Absolutely. Absolutely. So how do you expand your reach and visibility beyond your own boutiques, any commerce channels? I know in the past you've done department store shop and shops with booming sales, harrads and others. How else do you expand that reach and visibility? I don't believe that the Jose channel will be the one because we want to have control of how the brand is going to be used and portrayed. So we launched a couple of years ago, a division where we call it contract. What does it mean? We have a specialist in Europe, US and also in Asia that are dealing with the trade, designers, architects, developers, real estate, yachting companies. So besides opening stores, online and outweighs, we have this division that is really offering an exquisite service, I want to make an example. We have clients that never walked into our stores and we have many, unfortunately, we have to go to the clients. Those clients are the ultra-nate-off individuals. They want to have their service at home. They use, as I said, the decorators. They use estate managers, house managers. So this division is a division that is currently traveling around the world or around the different countries where we are based and they are going to the clients. But we are really developing a very strong relation with the best interior decorators and architects around the world because those are the ones that are giving us access to those clients that we never come into our stores. Our stores will always be important. They are more sure, okay? Then the outreach, so we go outside of the stores, just give an idea. Very, very often, we do turn key. It means that you don't need to come to us. We come to your place and it's like a tailor service. We go to the houses, we go to the residues, we go to the yacht for private planes. We take the measurements. We work with whomever is the counterpart and then we come back with an inspiration proposal, designs and based on that, then we craft and we manufacture the products for the clients and we do the installation. We iron, we set up the table and we do the turnkey installation. This is really what we want to develop even further because we understand that our clients are very demanding. They don't have much time and at the end, they prefer seeing the products in their residences because they better understand whether the colors, the fabrics, the different designs that they have around the houses are going to work with the products. We do a lot of bespoke. As I said, we are tailor, so we go out and we offer these exclusive wide-growth zones. I know Frete is not in the traditional betting category and we talked about that. I want to say about early DTC betting disruptors like Casper, Brooklyn and Parachute and they changed how could some were shop for betting by offering these streamline product selections, transparent pricing and direct online sales, bypassing the brick and mortar retails in middleman and they captured a large percentage of the betting market in 2018 but the target for those DTC brands was mainly these underserved millennials who were seeking affordable luxury and not the ultra-high net worth consumer which Frete targets. So did the DTC revolution impact your business at all? We launched online way before all the deserthancing 2008. So we were were already in best space with all the respect, because every respect for any other company, we don't compete with those brands. And it was a clear strategy not to go after the segment of the market. It's been an internal discussion, few years ago, when you were on the sub in New York, you can only read Brooklyn any further mistake. But we thought we don't belong to that segment. And we don't want to compete. We are competing or we belong to the luxury arena. And eventually, we will be able to appeal the consumer when the purchasing power is going to be accessible for them through all the different things that I just said, hospitality or different services offering new products. But we don't really compete with those brands because I mean, we we're not even in that price point. And we don't want to be in that price point. So before the pandemic, our homes were just one part of our lives, the coronavirus pandemic changed all that many people spent more time within their own four walls than ever before. And our homes took on a central role in our lives, naturally betting and home textile sales went through the roof after the initial shock of the disruptions. And I'm sure Frette's business rebounded strongly as well with home decor gaining much prominence during that period, where you find in consumers becoming more hyper focused on things like fiber content of home textiles, quality and comfort, environmentally friendliness and that type of thing. Absolutely. Yes. We see consumers very much into what you just said. That's why one of the key strategy for us is innovation. Every single year, I assigned to my colleagues within the product development, we need to come out with something new, a new blend of fabric. Why? Because at the end, you know, you're sleeping or you're pumping yourself in great products and different cartons, different finishing different fibers and different blends. Just recently, we launched a new product and it is a blend of cashmere cotton and silk. I was personally a bit skeptical. I test all the products. And after testing the products, I wow, I feel the blend of the three fibers, but they are so well balanced, that is not too warm is not too silky. So clients are always more interested into these aspects of the textile. That's why we developed this new tray part of our selling ceremony. And when you walk into the store, we don't want to you just to go straight to the products. We want you to tell us, what do you prefer? How do you prefer sleeping? And more and more, we are looking into also new blends for decorative items. Resurgent development is probably our best, you know, opportunity. And besides that, they home the core. So my goal is that we have clients who walk into our stores and just buying decorative items, in order to change the look of their supplies. You go to my Zanavino, I mean, you're right now, you're going to see that in one window, you have a living area where you have different you know, leather accessories, you have beautiful baskets, you have beautiful from the core. So, and we see that if you properly explain, you know, the brand clients are buying into our home, the core. So certainly homes, I mean, as you said, you know, the COVID situation pushed all of us spending more time and forced us spending more time at home. And our home are centuries where people want to, you know, have a great experience with great products. So a few years after the pandemic, it seems like it triggered a new momentum around space and comfort. The pandemic fundamentally changed how people view their homes. It's become a place for work, wellness and emotional healing. So have your strategies and product selections changed in this new world of home as sanctuary? Yes. For example, years ago, we had season up products. We have this been someone for winter. We completely changed everything that you find in our stores. It can be available today as in a couple of years. Obviously, we introduce, you know, newness, colors as a side, new textile brands. So more and more, we see these evolution within the home business. But again, we continue searching for something new. We want to surprise our clients. We see our clients. I'm very customer centric. Okay, I want to understand this way I keep traveling and I try to visit as many places as possible understanding was relevant for our clients. Because at the end, everything has to be developed around the consumer needs. And the consumer needs to be able to find something new. So we have to be able to find something new. So we have to be able to find something new and we have to be able to find something new. Working on this book for hotels, quiz, ships, in your design project. We did a beautiful project for Korean Air. So Korean Air came to us two years ago. They wanted to change completely the overall experience of their passengers. Their motto was, I want our passengers to have these newest experience when they go from one place to that one. And so we crafted a full bespoke service for the first class. Obviously that goes from pajamas, slippers, duvet, even actual figure in math, a sped, I mask, and it's almost like you are staying in a five star hotel or you're in your own place. So bespoke is certainly a common language that we speak every day with our clients, whether they are B2B or B2C. And at Milan Design Weekly, a fashion designer, Tom Brown made his debut at the show with a new homeware collection created in collaboration with Ret-Day from what I read, the theatrical performance at the show was much like his fashion shows, subverting the traditional concept of a fashion presentation. Could you talk about how that collaboration with Tom Brown came about? He came about because of him. Tom himself was already affected. Client, I didn't know Tom, I didn't know if he was a client, to be honest. I was familiar with the brand. So he came to us at the beginning, I didn't even understand what he wanted to do because I was familiar with the brand, but I didn't understand right then Tom Brown together. When the message came quite clear, Tom wanted his clients to have a three-on-in-sixth Tom Brown experience. And he wanted his clients to be being Tom Brown and Xi Jinping and pampering themselves in beautiful buffers, tiny brothers. And it was a beautiful night, a robe and some other accesses. So it took us two years because as a designer, as a creative person who's very demanding and of the end details is quite important. So we had to run a lot of different sample production before achieving the utmost quality and design. And then last April 2020. for, we added these spectacular activation in Milano at the Paracina Apiana during the design week. It was all orchestrated and directed by Tom Brown itself and it was the first time that we saw Fracte portrayed a display in such a unique way in our home city that is Milano. So it was a sort of a passion show, before these models, you know, slipping into the bed, coming out and wearing beautiful Tom Brown uniforms. So it has been quite unique and it gave us a completely different visibility because it was completely, was not expected to see Fracte and Tom Brown together, but this is so well conceived design and it's still available today if you go to the new Tom Brown store, so we're also here in New York and just open, you're going to see, you know, these beautiful pieces, they are absolutely, you know, Tom Brown, but really a great experience. You said in an interview, a luxury bedding brand, our product has a complex buyer life cycle, which includes long lead in purchase decision time and long gaps between purchases. So how are you overcoming those challenges at every stage to turn a one-time purchase into a lasting relationship with the brand? The very good question that you should ask to how I was this person in this post. It's a big challenge, it's a big challenge, it's all, I'm convinced that it's all about building a relationship with the clients. It's a key of the success. I'm never trying to set anything to anyone. I'm trying to understand what I can do for the clients. Building relationship with our clients, we know that they have homes and they have many bedrooms and they have their own personal life, so really profiling our clients is important for me, understanding what is relevant or not relevant for a client. I don't want to bother anyone with information that are not important for the client. So profiling the clients, building a relationship, and as I said, we are no longer a seasonal brand. We really decided to go out from this season idea and every anyway, almost three months, we introduced something new. The gives the opportunity to talk with our clients and to add on pieces that they probably don't know. We developed an outdoor collection, we have a big collection, we are in the process of developing a lot of the artabla, so there are different movements that allows us to reach out to our clients, but again, it's important to know who is the client, because it's the client is someone that doesn't care about outdoor, what's the point to reach out about the outdoor. So I need to have more information. I can tell we have not enough, but we have some great clients that are shopping more often than that I would expect. Obviously they are buying new residences, they are doing renovations, but getting into new home decor products is what is along as to reach out to the developer. We are about to launch in a couple of months a beautiful gifting collection. It's going to go from great gifted years, Pijama's night robes and many others very colorful, but they're going to be perfect for gifting. So again, more and more introducing newness, but it's not just banding related, we think that is the right strategy to have our clients coming back more often. Filippo, my final question is the luxury item question, which I ask oh my guess. So if you were stranded on a deserted island and you could only have one single luxury item with you, what would that luxury item be? It can't be any form of air or water transportation to get you off that island or anything that requires mobile service so you can call somebody to get you off that island. It's just you on this lonely island by yourself. What would that one single luxury item you would like to have with you? Profetter you mean. It's up to you. It's your call. I would like a fritter pillow. Okay, for me it's quite important, you know, to have a great pillow and having the best experience. I guess Lippo almost anywhere, but I really love having my fritter pillow. I love that you're on brand. I had a feeling there would be a fritter answer, but the pillow one was was a good one and made makes a hundred percent sense. Thank you. Filippo, on a boldly chief executive officer of fritter, thank you so much for joining me on the luxury item. Thank you Scott, my pleasure. That's it for this episode of the luxury item podcast.
