Furla
is delighted to announce the opening of its first airport boutique in
the Asia Pacific region; a new 85 sqm boutique at Changi Airport
Terminal 1. The boutique opened on August 2nd in Changi Airport
Terminal 1 in partnership with King Power Singapore.
The
boutique will open with Furla's SS13 and AW13 collections and will

“We
are very excited to be opening our first boutique in Singapore with
the new concept shop design,” says Gerry Munday, Global Travel
Retail Director. “The
Furla brand is very successful globally; however Asia is a vitally
important market for us representing 40% of our total business last
year and 15% of our travel retail business. So to have such a strong
presence in Changi is absolutely fantastic.”
