By Benedict Evans |

Vilebrequin is the latest in a growing line-up of new openings, as the new boutique expands QDF’s current portfolio of luxury brands.
Qatar Duty Free (QDF) has announced the opening of luxury French swimwear brand Vilebrequin at Hamad International Airport, located at South Node in the Luxury Boulevard area toward Concourse B.
The store showcases Vilebrequin’s latest collections for men, women and children, including swim shorts, ready-to-wear, accessories, and timeless beachwear staples.
Highlights include the exclusive Minstral Limited Edition Collection – a handcrafted series of swim shorts limited to just 299 individually numbered pieces worldwide.
Each pair features sterling silver tips on the drawstrings.
The design of the boutique is inspired by the French Riviera.
A beach-inspired atmosphere blends chic resort style with contemporary sophistication, featuring bamboo chandeliers, lush plant pots, and natural-toned furniture.
Playful touches such as a wall adorned with Vilebrequin’s turtle motif add character to the space, while the open layout invites travellers to explore the full lifestyle offering.
Commenting on the opening, Thabet Musleh, Qatar Airways Group Chief Retail & Hospitality Officer, said: “Vilebrequin brings with it a sense of heritage, style, and playfulness, and we’re proud to make it part of our growing luxury offer at Hamad International Airport.
At Qatar Duty Free, we’re constantly looking to refresh and elevate the experience for our passengers, and this boutique is another example of how we continue to introduce world-class names in our growing portfolio.”
