Premium accessories brand Furla has
opened the first of several Americas locations scheduled for this
summer. Its 15 sq m shop in shop at Las Vegas McCarran International
Airport’s new Terminal 3 opened with The Nuance Group earlier this
month offering a wide range from the Autumn Winter 2012 collection.
The Las Vegas outlet sets the scene for
Furla’s travel retail expansion within the Americas. This summer
also sees a 12 sq m shop in shop opening with Sense Duty Free at its
Downtown Galleria in San Domingo, Dominican Republic, and a generic
space with Aer Rianta at Montreal Airport, Canada. A 10 sq m space is
also confirmed to open this summer with DFASS at Dallas Fort Worth
Says Furla head of retail Gerry Munday:
‘ We see a great potential for Furla within the Americas
especially as retailers like The Nuance Group increasingly see the
opportunities for premium fashion brands in the region. We’re
certainly proud to be part of the fantastic new shopping facility at
Las Vegas, it’s a real coup for us and is the first step in what
promises to be an exciting summer for Furla in the Americas.’
Last year The Americas represented 8%
of Furla’s global business with an excellent first year result
compared to 2011 with sales for the brand up 34% through domestic
doors.
