Out With the Old.
In order for the existing Sandton City store to be translated into Fabiani’s exclusive flagship store concept it was necessary for it to undergo a major refurbishment. The store, based in a shopping mecca for fashion aficionados, is one of the most valued in the brand’s current property portfolio, alongside the stores such as the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. A local expansion strategy focusing on the careful selection of further key locations with in South Africa sits alongside plans to expand across Africa, servicing the demand for Fabiani across the continent. The latest flagship store concept and sensory experience will be rolled out to existing stores and continuously evolved to match and exceed international innovation within the retail space.
Market Matters.
When asked about a change in male consumer buying habits, Fabiani’s Designer, Nat Iqani comments, “There is far more choice in the market now. With brand’s pushing to consistently increase their online presence and international operators pouring into the country, men now are becoming more selective, but in the same breath they are also buying more because they are in the know.” The fashion conscious consumer of today is switched on to latest international trends and this pushes the Fabiani team to consistently deliver collections that are true to the brand promise of quality, colour and that unexpected pop.
Product Portfolio.
The Sandton City store presents the full product portfolio from the S14 collection including elegant formalwear, stylish weekend wear, handmade Italian shoes and signature accessories such as cufflinks, pocket squares and this season’s must-have – a Fabiani flower lapel pin.
