Philadelphia–Five diamond companies have filed an involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition against Philadelphia-area retailer Leo Robbins and Sons, Inc., which does business as Robbins Diamonds and is known for its ads featuring a cartoon character version of the jeweler wearing a diamond in his beard. Two New York-based companies, Leo Schachter Diamonds LLC and Sandberg and Sikorski Corp. (doing business as A. Jaffe), and three Ramat Gan, Israel-based companies, including Salant Group Ltd., A.D.R. Kropveld Diamonds Ltd. and Yerushalmi Bros. Diamond Ltd., filed the joint petition Nov. 16 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. According to a summons filed in the case, Robbins Diamonds is required to submit a motion or answer to the Chapter 7 petition within 20 days. Chapter 7 is a type of bankruptcy intended to fairly distribute the debtor’s available non-exempt property to its creditors. A Chapter 7 filing typically leads to liquidation when a company files on its own accord, although in some cases, the company settles its debt and can continue to operate under the direction of a court trustee and may avoid liquidation. According to court documents, the five companies are claiming the retailer collectively owes them about $1.37 million for goods. The largest claim, court papers show, belongs to the Israeli company Salant Group, which claims the retailer owes the company nearly $1.02 million. Leo Schachter is next, with a claim alleging it is owed $182,772, followed by Yerushalmi Bros., which submitted a claim for $106,887 and A.D.R. Kropveld with a claim of $60,000. Sandberg and Sikorski entered a claim for $5,000. Owner Gerald Robbins did not respond to request for comment on the filing. According to the company’s Web site, the company operates four retail locations: Robbins 8th and Walnut on Walnut Street in Philadelphia; Robbins Allentown Diamonds in Allentown, Pa.; Robbins Delaware Diamonds in Newark, Del., and Robbins Hamilton Marketplace in Hamilton, N.J. In a National Jeweler profile story which originally ran in the March 2009 print edition, Robbins Diamonds Vice President Gordon Robbins said the retailer considered itself a “bridal superstore,” and seemed confident the business would weather the tough economic times. “The challenges we’re facing now are due to the economy, but they’re cyclical and they’ll pass,” he said. |

Buzz in Seventh Avenue showrooms is that Zac Posen and Gucci are about to accept some above layoffs. As of Monday, Posen carnality admiral of communications Karen Duffy’s position was clearly “eliminated”; it is now getting handled by Zac’s mom, Susan, and Alexandra Smith, adept administrator of accessible relations and celebrity.
While a rep for Posen had “no comment,” an industry cabal dishes that added layoffs are “pending” at the Laight St. offices — a aftereffect of the boxy times designers are accepting in New York.

Sorry for not announcement the endure few weeks. Among added things, I was in Europe, talking actuality and there about the Invasion of the Third Screens…
While Europe is way advanced of the U.S. in plain-old cellular service—an added $65 to AT&T for the ages got me all-you-can-eat adrift abstracts on my iPhone throughout Europe, with all-over 3G advantage from Munich to Geneva to London—it’s abaft us in the about-face to e-readers and tablets. This is mainly due to burst markets; there are so abounding carriers, publishers and languages that it’s harder to see how any one belvedere will appear any time soon. The Kindle, which was just launched abroad, is still advised cutting-edge technology and is wowing the masses, admitting books are alone accessible in English for now.
I had one tiny epiphany I capital to share, however. I was arrive to appear an centralized appointment at Richemont, the aggregation that owns some of the world’s best-known affluence brands. Throughout the day, the agenda cast managers were assuming off some of their Web-based projects and, as I watched some of the absolutely gorgeous, accurate getting that they were doing, I accomplished that one day soon, these sorts of things will advance from getting Web pages to getting the ad pages that beautify agenda magazines.
This is in fact a actual big deal. It agency that affectation commercial will plan again.
Right now, the archetypal doesn’t plan because you accept to go to, say, Van Cleef & Arpels’s website to see its ad. But what if the ad came to you, just as it does in a magazine. Alone it’s way bigger than a annual because it’s activated and compelling. Imagine account your admired annual on a tablet, and you hit this bobcat (Now, on the Web, you’ve got to let it amount first; that won’t be a botheration on a downloaded e-mag.) How could you not stop and collaborate with it? Commercial will plan so abundant bigger in the tablet-mag world.
