The company has announced the opening of eight luxury Beauty & Fashion stores in two major Chinese airports – Shanghai Hongqiao and Shenzhen.
Lagardére has capitalised on the travel retail recovery in China and in recent months has opened eight new stores in partnership with global Fashion & Beauty brands in two of China’s largest airports. Several of these openings mark the first time brands enter China’s travel retail market, reflecting the company’s ambition to bring innovation and dynamism to airport retail in China.
In Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, Terminal T2, Lagardére Travel Retail has opened six stores: Chanel Beauty and Accessories, Parfums Christian Dior, Givenchy, Shiseido, Gucci Watches and Jewellery and Sandro. New store openings at Shenzhen Airport include Cartier and Burberry.
Eudes Fabre, Chief Executive Officer for North Asia and Lagardére Travel Retail, North Asia, commented: “China is an incredibly resilient market, it has been breathing to observe how fast domestic traffic has returned to pre-crisis levels, and how eager Chinese shoppers have been to come back to our stores.”
