DLF to launch new luxury property

DLF is all set to roll out a new luxury property, The Chanakya, and bring in brands such as Longchamp, Hunkemoller, G Star Raw, Juicy Couture, La Perla and Chanel Beauty to its Emporio and Promenade malls this year. According to the Senior VP DLF Luxury Retail, Dinaz Madhukar, "It's a very exciting time for retail and we are excited that new brands looking to enter the country are doing it with us." However, while brands like Juicy Couture Chanel beauty have a presence in other malls in India, DLF Emporio will house La Perla and Longchamp's exclusive stores in India. Brands like Bvlgari and Tumi have their exclusive stores in India at the Emporio in Delhi. Madhukar said The Chanakya will offer a mix of bridge to luxury and luxury brands. "Since, we are 100% leased we have worked with brands Versace and DKNY to give us some of their existing space for brands like Bvlgari and Tumi at The Emporio. As Indian designers worked on expanding their collections we helped designers move to a larger space," said Madhukar.
