BORSALINO INAUGURATES A NEW FLAGSHIP

BOUTIQUE IN MONTE CARLO

Borsalino proudly unveils its new flagship within
the luxurious Metropole Shopping Monte-Carlo.
Strengthening the Maison’s bonds with the Principality
of Monaco, this boutique results after last summer’s
successful pop-up within the coveted shopping complex.
Located on the first floor of the Metropole Shopping
Monte-Carlo, one of the most prestigious luxury
complexes on Avenue des Spéluges, the store covers 35sq
m and overlooks the shopping gallery with two important
windows. The boutique is intimate yet rich in detail,
designed to premiere and showcase the latest collections
of Borsalino hats, caps and soft accessories.
“We are honoured to open this new boutique in
the Principality of Monaco, a favourite destination for
international tourism,” comments Mauro Baglietto
Managing Director for Borsalino. “This is an important
step in our corporate relaunch plan with the objective to
develop international retail.”
