Furla has appointed Hong Kong-based Vivian Li as its Travel Retail Manager Asia Pacific effective 4 February. She replaces Javy Wong who left the premium accessories company at the end of last year.

 

Vivian has almost five years of store management and merchandising experience, latterly with DFS Group where she was Assistant Merchandise Manager (Fragrances), Global Merchandising, Hong Kong.

 

Here she managed a US$200m assortment, developing and executing strategies across 37 brands in 72 locations covering 14 countries for both downtown and airport shops.

 

Prior to joining DFS last year she spent three years as Product Sales Manager (Beauty) with City of Dreams Macau.

 

Furla Travel Retail Director Gerry Munday commented: “I am delighted to welcome Vivian to the Furla travel retail team. Her experience in store management and merchandising will be extremely beneficial in our ongoing mission to develop our airport retail business across Asia.

 

‘Asia remains a vitally important region for the brand; we currently have 23 travel retail locations open in this market and are looking to increase that to 30 in 2013.
