SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 October 2024 – COSETTE, a leading retailer of luxury handbags and accessories, is pleased to announce the conclusion of a comprehensive, year-long investigation by NSW Fair Trading into the authenticity of goods supplied by COSETTE. The investigation has ended with no adverse findings or further action. COSETTE believes this vindicates our repeated statements on the quality and authenticity of goods sold.

These unfounded allegations have had a detrimental impact on our business and, more importantly, our customers, who were wrongly led to believe that some of their products purchased from COSETTE were not genuine. The allegations stemmed from inaccurate and misleading services provided to customers by third-party authenticators. In response to allegations, COSETTE has successfully defended all of the cases it contested in the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT). In the course of these cases, NCAT found that these authenticators provide “no evidence of specific qualifications, skills or knowledge” in providing their opinion, “do not warrant … the quality of any services” that they provide, nor are they recognised by the luxury brands that they purport to authenticate.

COSETTE has always been committed to the highest standards of quality and trustworthiness. We source all of our leather goods from Europe and only work with highly reputable suppliers that have a long history of trading in luxury goods. Our approach to authenticity is to trace each good through the supply chain to licensees that have been authorised by the brands to sell the goods. This is the best and only means of being assured of the authenticity and origin of the product. More information on COSETTE’s sourcing can be found at COSETTE.com.au/pages/luxury-every-day.

COSETTE’s mission remains to make luxury more affordable, every day. We do this by offering a wide range of handbags and accessories from Australia’s favourite luxury brands – including handbags from Gucci, Prada, Saint Laurent, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta – at the best price.

COSETTE is able to offer these reduced prices by parallel importing directly from European retailers and suppliers, primarily from Italy. Some of these products may be overstock, but they are always new (never used or pre-owned), authentic and therefore of the highest quality. This direct sourcing means that we are able to share the benefit of any pricing advantage we obtain with Australian customers.

On behalf of COSETTE, spokesperson Don Grover said: “In our near 10 years of operation, COSETTE has served more than 130,000 customers and we look forward to returning our focus to ensuring that our customers have the choice and first-class shopping experience that we have always promised. COSETTE is the best place in Australia to buy genuine luxury goods at the most affordable prices.”

For over a thousand years, Nanhai has played a vital role as a key hub of the Maritime Silk Road, deeply involved in the great cycle of land and sea trade. The continuous evolution of this civilization demonstrates that Xiqiao Mountain is not only a symbol of Chinese historical civilization but also a testament to international exchange.

Together with the Singapore Chefs’ Association, we are committed to excite the next generation of potential chefs. We believe that empowering children with the knowledge and skills when making food choices will lead to healthier lifestyles and hopefully trigger them to join the wonderful global family of chefs.”

‘Growing Great Chefs’ aligns with our mission to inspire and nurture the next generation of chefs,” says Emmanuel Lorieux, Nestlé Professional Global Executive Chef and Global Culinary Partnership Manager. “By engaging youngsters in this hands-on learning experience, we hope to ignite their passion for cooking and foster healthy lifelong habits.”

“Growing Great Chefs”

This year’s theme, ‘Growing Great Chefs,’ welcomes young enthusiasts into the wonderful world of cooking, teaching them not only how to prepare delicious dishes but also how to make informed food choices.

President of Singapore Chefs’ Association, Eric Neo, says in his opening speech, “International Chefs Day is a day which is very close to our hearts, as it reminds us of the responsibility and power chefs have in influencing the next generation. We also greatly value the support Nestlé Professional Singapore has given us over the years to make this possible.”

Based on the theme, Nestlé Professional Singapore and Singapore Chefs’ Association put together a programme that emphasized on sustainability and the importance of using healthy ingredients.

After the welcome addresses by Chef Eric Neo, invited guests were given an introduction to indoor farming by Grobrix, a partner of Nestlé Professional Singapore.

The Nestlé Professional Customer Engagement Centre (CEC) was also transformed into a food preparation activity area for 20 children, aged from 8- 10 years old.

Using the comprehensive toolkit provided by Nestlé Professional, chefs from Singapore Chefs’ Association demonstrated how to best prepare healthy, colourful dishes such as sandwich, salads and pancakes in a delicious and healthy way. The children were then guided through the exercise step by step by the chefs.

For many of the attendees, it was the first time they interacted with a chef. One of the participants enthusiastically shares, “This is the first time I have cooked with a chef. I have learnt many things and I am inspired to be a chef in the future!”

“This has been a monumental celebration,” says Vanessa Marquis, Chairperson of the Worldchefs International Chefs Day Committee. “Firstly, this marks the 20^th anniversary of International Chefs’ Day.

About International Chefs Day

International Chefs Day offers chefs a unique opportunity to connect closely with children, teaching them about the delights of cooking and all about our hero ingredients. This celebration is more than just a day; it’s a chance to make a lasting impact on the lives of young people, encouraging them to explore the culinary arts and learning about different food groups.

Nestlé Professional also provides a comprehensive toolkit that includes posters, recipe cards, workshop tips, games and educational resources. Among these is a ‘balanced plate’ guide, designed to inspire young chefs to create well-balanced meals using a variety of food groups. Events across the globe will include cooking workshops, education sessions, food safety awareness, farm visits, food art and cultural culinary journeys. In 2023, International Chefs Day reached new heights with 456 events across the globe, involving about 3,700 chefs and over 140,000 children. This year, we are excited to build on this success, engaging even more young minds in culinary workshops that emphasize the joys of cooking and the importance of a balanced diet. 2024 also marks the 20^th anniversary of the creation of International Chefs Day celebrations.

This initiative is part of the broader Nestlé for Healthier Kids program (N4HK), which promotes balanced diets and healthy lifestyle habits for children aged 3–12 and supports parents and caregivers to raise healthier kids.

By collaborating with Worldchefs on International Chefs Day, we are taking another step towards achieving this ambitious goal, ensuring that children worldwide have the tools and knowledge they need to make informed food choices.
