Dubai, 3 October 2007 - Club Monaco, the international retailer known for its must have clothes, cult status among the fashion set, and black and white palette, has opened two new stores as part of its long-term growth plan in the Middle East.
The new stores are strategically located in Dubai's up-market Wafi City Mall and Abu Dhabi's popular Al Wahda Mall. The opening in Al Wahda Mall marks Club Monaco's introduction to the capital, allowing both residents and visitors to enjoy the brand's urban, sophisticated offerings. Located in the mall's new retail extension, the Wafi City store is the brand's second in Dubai. Both locations showcase the women's, men's and accessory collections.
Since the successful launch of Club Monaco in Deira City Centre last year, the brand has become renowned for its mix of timeless essentials and seasonal fashion must haves. The brand's signature chic and modern style, gives key wardrobe essentials an update through impressive design and a current fashion sensibility. Club Monaco designs each new collection with a clear focus on affordable luxury. Soft Italian cashmere in coats and sweaters, rich leather hand bags and must have beaded jewelry, are just a few of the items that offers customers a taste of luxury at an affordable price point.
For Fall 2007, women's wear reflects the return of traditional tailoring inspired by classic menswear. The collection focuses heavily on blazers, high-waisted pencil skirts and high-waisted wide leg pants. The blazer is a necessity for fall's cool weather, perfect for layering with cashmere sweaters and scarves. Dresses and skirts incorporate touches of silk and taffeta, evoking a feeling of holiday celebration. Colour plays an important role, with Club Monaco heritage colours highlighted by deep emeralds and greens in October and festive pops of berry and deep plum in November and December.
For men, Club Monaco offers warm essentials and stylish outwear. A generous collection of blazers allows for many options in suiting. Luxurious outerwear offerings include nylon puffer vests, cashmere overcoats, and a cozy shearling. Comfortable cashmere blends and merino sweaters come in an array of colours and stripe patterns.
Club Monaco stores can now be found at Deira City Centre and Wafi City Mall in Dubai, and Al Wahda Mall in Abu Dhabi. Opening soon - Hyatt Mall in Riyadh, KSA and Dubai Festival City, Dubai.
