I'm out! I've reluctantly decided that I know nothing whatsoever about the economics of the shoe and luxury goods biznay so, in an attempt not to get sidetracked into making myself more knowledgeable ... enjoyable though that process might be ... I've decided to tidy up my shrunken wad and have sold my Jimmy Choo at a modest profit.This does not represent a view that it's a bad investment; it may well be successful, in which case I shall give mesen a savage kicking (not for the first or the last time I'm sure). Anyhoo, I thought you'd want to know this and wish continuing holders every success.LKH on the flybridge farewell, shipm8es

Legal action Jimmy Choo's founder is accusing the company of anti-competitive behaviour designed to hurt her new label, Sky News learns.Tamara Mellon, the businesswoman who built Jimmy Choo into a global brand, is launching a legal battle against her former company amid allegations of anti-competitive practices that were aimed at thwarting her new fashion label.Sky News has learnt that lawyers acting for Ms Mellon wrote to Jimmy Choo this week accusing it of obliging leading Italian leather suppliers to commit not to work with Tamara Mellon Brand LLC, a luxury fashion house she launched in 2013.The letter from Olswang, a prominent law firm, is understood to allege that Ms Mellon's new company has been "unable to secure suitable production capacity for…luxury leather products and (its) business consequently has been impaired" as a result of pressure from Jimmy Choo, according to a person with knowledge of its content.[link]
