Victoria’s Secret last week celebrated the opening of its Beauty & Accessories shop at The Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel with a music- and model-filled celebrity event.
The world-famous specialty retailer of lingerie and beauty products opened its first store in Macau on 1 December 2011, located at St Mark’s Square at The Grand Canal Shoppes mall. The new store offers customers access to an assortment of popular Victoria’s Secret body and beauty products, including fragrances, and an exclusive collection of Victoria’s Secret-branded accessories, such as small leather goods, bags, and luggage.
The new addition to The Grand Canal Shoppes is only the first of several first-to-market brands coming to the Cotai Strip. Michael Kors and Pink Grill will be making their Macao debuts when another casino resort Sands Cotai Central opens this spring. Shoppes Cotai Central will join The Grand Canal Shoppes and The Shoppes at Four Seasons to form Shoppes Cotai, the largest luxury retail experience in all of Macao, with nearly 600 retailers to choose from.
"The Venetian Macao is very excited to welcome Victoria’s Secret to the Shoppes Cotai family," said David Sylvester, senior vice president of Retail Asia, Las Vegas Sands Corp. "It represents the latest offering in our initiative to make Macao a luxury duty-free shopping paradise. Additional international brands that have recently joined Shoppes Cotai include Pandora, Quicksilver, Puma, Camper and agnes b. VOYAGE."
The Grand Canal Shoppes has enjoyed stellar performance in 2011 and is looking forward to the enhancement of its luxury shopping experience with the spring opening of Shoppes Cotai Central, which will feature expanded retail brand offerings like Sergio Rossi and Yves Saint Laurent. The Grand Canal Shoppes recently extended its line up of stores by welcoming Los Angeles-based premium denim maker 7 For All Mankind in November, as did The Shoppes at Four Seasons when it unveiled its Vivienne Westwood store in December.
The contemporary interior of the new Victoria’s Secret spans nearly 1,500 square feet, and its sophisticated and glamorous decor includes a gallery of iconic black and white Victoria’s Secret supermodel imagery. The store front features an installation of the one-of-a-kind Angel Wings featured in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
