Marie France Van Damme, the Hong Kong-based designer known for her globally influenced line of luxury resort, swim, and ready-to-wear, announced today the opening of a fifth boutique in Singapore’s Takashimaya Shopping Centre in November 2015. Since launching in 2011, Marie France Van Damme continues to expand her presence worldwide, focusing on cities that not only inspire the designer, but also appeal to her sophisticated, jet-set clientele.
“From a global perspective, this is a milestone for the brand. We are excited to bring the Marie France Van Damme collection to life in this vibrant city,” said Marie France Van Damme. “I couldn’t imagine a better location for our first store in Singapore.”
Located on the third floor of the Takashimaya Shopping Centre on Orchard Road, the 1000 square foot boutique will evoke Marie France Van Damme’s signature style, which blends subtle Asian influences and elegant simplicity. Also available at the boutique will be the brand’s assortment of accessories, including candles, handbags and a special home collection created exclusively for this location.
Marie France Van Damme will celebrate the flagship opening with several events in the Fall 2015.
The company currently has 100 retail locations. The Singapore store will mark the company’s fifth branded boutique worldwide. Marie France Van Damme opened her first store in 2013 at the International Finance Center (IFC) in Hong Kong.
