Asian airport first for Furla at Changi

By Kevin Rozario |

Italian leather goods house Furla, today, opened its first airport boutique in the Asia Pacific region, at Singapore’s Changi Airport.

 

The 85sq m boutique, operated by King Power Singapore is in Terminal 1 and will show Furla’s spring/summer 2013 and autumn/winter 2013/14 collections. It will also carry highlights such as the Cortina Top Handle in Speed and Divina Dome in Siberian.

 

Gerry Munday, Global Travel Retail Director, says: “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.”

 

Last year, Furla reported turnover of €212m ($281m), up +18% on 2011 with Ebitda of €32m. During the same period, the brand’s DF&TR sales rose by +93%.
