AISV

French to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Balance sheet

Hello all,
This comes from a presentation of financial results for a clothing company:
La femme réalise xxx xxx€ (Pdht) avec 48% pour les AISV, 43% en jour, 9% lingerie.
It's obviously some sort of garment, I wondered whether SV = sous vêtement but probably not as lingerie is given separately. Many thanks for any help!

Alison MacG Oct 22, 2012: Is AISV perhaps a company-specific term? I can only find it used by Petit Bateau. If you look at these links, it seems to refer to some sort of body/bodysuit/all-in-one/onesie, etc. Un modèle très raffiné décliné en deux coloris estivaux et modes à porter sur un AISV, un body ou à même la peau ! http://petit-bateau.izivashop.com/Product.aspx?Pn=petit-bate... PETIT BATEAU BEBE...30773...AISV Bebe Cote 1×1chinee/unie 07/LAIT http://www.amazon.co.jp/プチバトー-PETIT-BATEAU-30773-1×1chinee/d...

For women, it could then be a T-shirt-style body or bodysuit, e.g. http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/tops/plum-1-2-sleeve-body... http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/150907651496 http://www.asos.com/search/bodysuit?hrd=1&q=bodysuit&SearchS...
Anne Greaves (asker) Oct 22, 2012: Yes, but AISV does not appear on website. However client informs me it's T-shirt offer, still no idea what AISV stands for! Thanks to all for contributions.
philgoddard Oct 22, 2012: If you can't give us the company's name... ...have you looked at their website yourself?
Anne Greaves (asker) Oct 22, 2012: No women's and children's day and nightwear, mostly. Think it might be essentials, but still don't know what AISV stands for
philgoddard Oct 21, 2012: It's obviously the main thing they sell, as it accounts for the highest percentage of sales. Can you give us any clues as to what company it is? By elimination, could it be evening wear?
philgoddard Oct 21, 2012: Here's another example: http://www.usinescenter.biz/138-14953-Actualites.php?id_actu... Puer is puériculture, which I think is babywear.
Anne Greaves (asker) Oct 21, 2012: Hi Catherine. Day wear I think.
Catharine Cellier-Smart Oct 21, 2012: @Anne Do you know what the "en jour" means here in this context?
