In October, Lane Crawford, Hong Kong’s oldest department store, will unveil its 14,000-square-meter, or 150,000-square-foot, flagship store in Shanghai. And Value Retail, Europe’s most successful luxury fashion outlet operator, will open Suzhou Village just an hour outside the city, where off-season designer fashion will be available at a discount.

All three operations say Shanghai is important to their growth in mainland China,We supply ice bag sale to many dealers and convience shops. and understanding the Chinese shopper will be vital to their success.

Currently, “60 percent of all luxury goods are purchased overseas, as imported goods are much more expensive at home,” said Elizabeth Flora, editor of the China luxury information Web site Jing Daily. She noted that Beijing’s current antigraft campaign had affected some retail sectors commonly associated with “gifting” to officials but that it had not touched fashion.

“China takes time and patience,” said Andrew Keith, president of Lane Crawford. “It’s very different to Hong Kong, and is a myriad of markets and has cultural and physical diversity you would see in a continent like Europe.”

Amid the bustle of Nanjing West Road, Shanghai’s busiest pedestrian shopping street, 10 Corso Como’s 2,500-square-meter, glass-enclosed building is an imposing addition.

Designed by the American artist Kris Ruhs, the airy, four-level space combines a fashion and lifestyle boutique, an art gallery and a restaurant, all curated by the company’s founder, the art dealer and publisher Carla Sozzani.

The store, which opened last week, allows customers to shop for designs like clothing by Comme des Gar?ons and Maison Martin Margiela, limited-edition Adidas sneakers by Tom Dixon, kitchen accessories by Alessi and furniture by Fornasetti; view a pop-up art exhibition; or have coffee.

“Shanghai’s vibrant art and fashion scene is an ideal location,” said Ms. Sozzani, who opened 10 Corso Como in Milan in 1990. “I love the proximity to Jing’an Temple and a park. It is a nice balance of modernity and tradition.”

Noriko Villanti, business director of the Shanghai store, said there was no difference between its operation and that of the Milan original: “Everything is selected by Carla, in the same way Kris Ruhs’s signature is reflected in every piece of furniture, wall or lighting fixture.”

“However,hiking boots sale On Sale - Shop our selection of Hiking Boots On Sale,www.qdgoutdoor.com. in the future we’d like to work with Chinese designers, which will be a distinctive trait of 10 Corso Como in Shanghai,” Ms. Villanti continued. “Our destination is essentially a curated space for experiences; a cultural investigation among the galleries, where customers are encouraged to meet and engage in a wide variety of ideas.”

The project is backed by Trendy International Group, a fast-growing Chinese retail operator partly owned by the L Capital division of LVMH Mo?t Hennessy Louis Vuitton. Trendy also owns the women’s fashion brand Miss Sixty.

“Shanghai is the major fashion market in China,” said Andre Chen, senior vice president at Trendy. “Chinese consumers are moving fast, and they are looking for new and different experiences. Exceeding consumer expectations and desires is our challenge, and I think 10 Corso Como will be very successful.”

If it is, he continued, “we will definitely open in Beijing and other key fashion cities.”

Also targeting fashion-forward customers will be Lane Crawford’s store, scheduled to open in early October at Times Square Shanghai, in the business district of Huaihai Zhong Lu Shopping Street.
