Friday, 1 October 2010
Shopping addicts are flocking to Singapore following Marina Bay Sands casino’s launch of the newest luxury and shopping destination in Asia.
The Shoppes opened 125 designer retail outlets earlier this month with an exclusive cocktail event in time for the Autumn Winter fashion festival.
The Sands Retail Asia Senior Vice President David Sylvester said the launch is a celebration having “achieved a premier retail shop for shoppers around the globe”.
“For the first time, in the heart of the Central Business District, we are bringing a critical mass of luxury stores,” Mr Sylvester said.
“[The] VIP cocktail event is to thank all our retailers and shoppers who have been supportive throughout our phased launches.
“We are proud that we are putting Singapore on the map, alongside other leading international shopping destination, with our varied selection of labels and high profile store launches.”
The event also marked the launch of Singapore’s first retail exhibition, Objects of Desire, a display of the wide selection of goods on offer to shoppers.
Singapore expects visitors to be amazed by the extensive selection of leading brands like Cartier, Chanel, Dior, Gucci, Hermes, Fendi and Yves Saint Laurent as well as the offer of products exclusive to The Shoppes.
The final phase of Marina Bay Sands will include up to 300 retail stores and restaurants.
