High-end footwear brand Manolo Blahnik is preparing to open own-brand stores in China in 2024. The move comes two years after the company won a long-running legal battle over use of its trademark in China, reports Leatherbiz.
Manolo Blahnik has never sold its shoes in China, but chief executive Kristina Blahnik, the founder’s niece, has told the Financial Times: “It will be a huge market for us. It’s very exciting.”
The London-based company reported revenues of €118.2 million in 2022, a new record.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
