Sydney Airport’s luxury precinct now houses Louis Vuitton travel retail alongside just-opened Korean eyewear shop Gentle Monster, also the first store for the brand in the region, as well as European designer labels Celine, Dior, Gucci and Valentino.
Louis Vuitton and Gentle Monster join Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Burberry, Bvlgari, Hermès, Loewe, Moncler, Prada, Rolex and Saint Laurent, which opened in the T1 International terminal this year.
By mid-2023, the SYD luxury precinct will feature 20 of the world’s best luxury brands.
The SYD Louis Vuitton boutique is also the brand’s largest standalone travel retail store in the world with premium women’s and men’s ready-to-wear and shoes plus accessories and fragrances.
Gentle Monster’s eyewear collection is in a futuristic space featuring a large kinetic installation for a stunning visual experience.
New to SYD, Dior’s elegant store offers a selection of women’s leathergoods, shoes and accessories plus the latest menswear collections.
Valentino’s first standalone airport store in South-East Asia has a range of bags, shoes, accessories and eyewear. Celine has also brought its sophisticated collection to SYD for the first time.
Gucci has also unveiled an expanded store footprint where passengers can shop the full range.
Sydney Airport Executive General Manager Commercial Mark Zaouk said: “I’m delighted to welcome six new stores in the second phase of our ambitious retail strategy to secure the world’s best luxury brands and deliver Australian firsts to passengers travelling through Sydney Airport.”
“With 16 luxury stores now open and a further four to open by mid-2023, we’re on track to offer the largest and most extensive collection of luxury travel retail anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere.”
Tiffany & Co. will open at the end of 2022 and Cartier and Versace will open by mid-2023. Heinemann Tax & Duty Free will also have Australia’s largest luxury brand collection in one space.
