JM Weston strides into the UAE

by Lynne Nolan on Wednesday, 14 November 2007

Luxury lifestyle retailer, the Rivoli Group, today opened the UAE's first JM Weston store at Dubai Festival City.

Founded in 1891 in the Limoges factory in France, the luxury footwear brand has maintained its craft tradition and offers a unique choice of designs from Michel Perry.

The JM Weston boutique has been designed in the same spirit as its flagship store in the Champs Elysées, Paris, and reproduces the cosy atmosphere of its Parisian shops.

The 600ft² store offers contemporary styles from the Beaubourg, Savile, Aston, Conti or Supple Fit lines, and a collection of leather goods.

The store opening will be followed up with a trunk show from November 15 to 17, to promote the art of custom-made shoes in the UAE.

The exhibition is set to showcase leathers, soles and colours, permitting customers to design their own shoes using the company's in-house expertise.
