Callison Designs Cole Haan New York and Middle East Flagships
New Stores Mark Premier U.S. Retailer’s Entrance into New International Markets
New York, NY, March 25, 2009 --(PR.com)-- In celebration of its 80th anniversary, luxury accessories retailer Cole Haan marked the occasion with the opening of a series of new flagship boutiques. The brand’s international expansion includes locations ranging from the famed Madison Avenue to storefronts in Dubai and Saudi Arabia.
The Dubai and Saudi Arabia locations mark Cole Haan’s first flagship entrance into the burgeoning Middle East market, where demand for luxury items is growing.
Conceptualized by Cole Haan and Callison in collaboration with Bonetti Kozerski Studio, the new boutique concept is the California modernist home of the Cole Haan couple. The contemporary environment features polished stainless steel fixtures, stained wooden floors and lacquered walls and tables. The new design reflects Cole Haan’s brand vision: ingeniously weaving craftsmanship with innovation to enrich life’s experiences.
Blending artisan quality with the timeless luxury of the Cole Haan brand, the solid design and refined craftsmanship resonate across time and across borders.
“The name Cole Haan has, and continues to be, synonymous with great design and craftsmanship says Jim Seuss, Chief Executive Officer of Cole Haan. “This new store concept allows us the ability to showcase our product in an environment befitting its nature.”
The New York Madison Avenue, Dubai Mall and Dubai Marina stores opened in early 2009, two additional stores are planned to open in Saudi Arabia in mid 2009.
