Delvaux set to open flagship store in NY

The Belgian luxury handbag retailer is set to open its first North American store on Manhattan’s fifth avenue.

Jean-Marc Loubier, who is the president and chief executive officer of First Heritage Brands including Delvaux - announced the news in a press release.

“Being both a historic and current brand, we like to pick landmarks to open our stores,” said Loubier. “Each of our shop is different from another, since we like to combine our Belgian roots with the local culture and heritage.”

The company just unveiled its first Milan location at Palazzo Bovara in the Golden Triangle luxury shopping district. Delvaux recently opened its second London location on new Bond Street.

The brand currently has 40 shops globally and does not operate an online store. “You have to discover our products with the eyes, ears, smell and touch,” Louber noted.

The New York boutique is set to open on 59th street in September.
