Fans of Marc Jacobs will soon be able to shop for the renowned fashion designer’s eponymous label in Singapore, after fashion and lifestyle group FJ Benjamin said on Thursday (Aug 25) it has secured exclusive rights to distribute the brand.

Apart from Singapore, FJ Benjamin also plans to open stores in Malaysia and Indonesia after signing an agreement with Marc Jacobs International. In a filing to the stock exchange, the SGX-listed retailer said it will open four stores over the next two years, and stores will carry the full range of Marc Jacobs’ women’s ready-to-wear, shoes, jewellery, bags and accessories.
