Luxury leather brand Delvaux opens Hong Kong flagship store

Luxury leather goods house Delvaux has opened a Hong Kong flagship store in Tsim Sha Tsui and in celebration has produced a set of miniatures paying homage to the city. The shop, located at the recently opened K11 Musea mall, features a handbag-shaped arched doorway to welcome customers. The venue also includes a break out space, providing a meeting point for customers and an area to share and chat as well. The brand’s chairman and CEO Jean-Marc Loubier has stated that he worked with Italian architectural studio Vudafieri Saverino Partners to create the space. The façade of the flagship boutique took inspiration from the Palais Stoclet, a Brussels masterpiece of architecture designed by world-renowned architect Josef Hoffmann in 1905.
