PremiumLocated at the Quest mall in Kolkata, the store will host a range of Gucci products including handbags, shoes and luggage
New Delhi: Italian luxury label Gucci has added a sixth store in the country—its first in Kolkata—the company said in a statement on Monday.
The retailer of bags and accessories said the decision to open a new store in Kolkata was consistent with the brand’s retail strategy, which seeks to “continuously increase the direct control of the brand, so as to further enhance the consistency of the consumer’s experience."
Located at the Quest mall in the city, the store will host a range of Gucci products including handbags, shoes, luggage, silks, watches, jewelry, fragrances, sunglasses, and children’s collection.
The Florence, Italy-headquartered luxury label entered India in 2006 through a franchise agreement with the Murjani Group. The company later ended the agreement to establish a joint venture with Mumbai-based Luxury Goods Retail, owned by Reena Wadhwa.
