Travel Retail Manager, Amanda Garbarino comments, "We are extremely optimistic about our new SS15 collection. Aigner has a broad appeal globally; consumers love the brand for its quality and heritage combined with fantastic styling and both classic and modern designs. We are continually watching trends to ensure that we are offering consumers the most up to date items. We will always try and keep our collections on trend but we will always still try to retain our classic and timeless roots."

This year has seen very positive travel retail growth for Aigner, particularly in the Middle East, where the brand opened a corner at QDF’s new Hamad International Airport in June. Aigner plans to open a pop-up store with Dubai Duty Free in Concourse A this December, along with a corner in the new concourse D in early 2015, giving the luxury fashion brand a presence in all four concourses at the airport.

In addition, Aigner continues to extend its presence globally, opening corners in Mumbai Airport and KLIA 2 and recently opening a shop at the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal in Hong Kong. Next year will also see a popup store open in February at Munich airport.

Garbarino comments, "The Middle East has seen a great deal of positive growth for us over the past year. Our brand is popular all over the globe but we are aware of the huge potential both in this region and Asia, so we will concentrating hard on extending our presence in these areas."

Aigner celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2015 with a number of events globally, including a major event attended by international celebrities in March in Munich, and more activities planned for the Middle East. As part of this achievement, the company has created a limited edition collection of 50 unique Cybill bags in exotic leathers from stingray to alligator, available in selected travel retail outlets from December 2014 onwards, including Munich, Frankfurt, Dubai and Doha airports.
