British leather goods brand Aspinal of London has commenced further expansion in the Middle East with the launch of a permanent flagship store in Dubai Mall, Dubai.

 

The store was officially opened on July 19 by Aspinal of London CEO Lisa Montague and LIWA CEO Mark Tesseyman. 

 

The new 1,200-sq-ft store will be the fifth store in the Middle East featuring two walls of floating shelves showcasing the brand’s trunk and hatbox collections, plus a “library” room at the back of the store which will contain a personalisation machine, circular cash desk with bar stools, elegant chandeliers and frieze mouldings. 

 

Alongside Aspinal of London’s latest and classic ranges, the store will carry an exclusive Dubai Mall range of ‘water snake’ trunks and a selection of leather goods from the ‘Aerodrome’ collection in collaboration with international model, David Gandy. 

 

In celebration of the opening, Aspinal of London is offering one lucky customer the chance to win a luxury ‘mini trunk’ clutch retailing from Dh3400, until August 18.

 

This new opening marks the start of a renewed period of development for the brand in the Middle East, with a further five planned openings across the Middle East between 2019 and 2021, the retailer said. 

The brand also currently operates three stand-alone stores, located at Avenues Mall Kuwait, Galleria Mall Abu Dhabi and Yas Mall, Abu Dhabi, plus a concession within Robinsons department store in Festival City, Dubai. – TradeArabia News Service
