AUSTRLIA. DFS Group will celebrate the grand opening of its newly renovated T Galleria by DFS, Sydney on 14 April.
The LMVH/Robert Miller-owned travel retailer said that the revamped store, already complete, offers customers an “exciting modern retail experience that combines the best of the world’s most famous luxury brands with an expertly curated selection of local products”.
DFS has occupied the 70,000sq ft-plus red-brick premises in George Street (within the historic The Rocks district) for 29 years. T Galleria by DFS, Sydney, the New South Wales capital’s only downtown duty free store, stands near the famous Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
The revamped store features over 150 top brands, DFS said. It showcases an extensive selection across DFS’ five ‘pillars of luxury’: fashion and accessories, beauty and fragrances, watches and jewellery, wines and spirits, and food and gifts. Many items are available exclusively (within Australia), including Michael Kors x DFS collection and Tiffany & Co.’s Keys.
Watch World on the third level features a double-height ceiling and black-and-white checkered flooring. DFS described the zone as “the ultimate in retail elegance”, befitting the 57 luxury watch brands that are showcased. Over 20 leading sunglasses brands are available on the same storey.
The beauty and fragrance offer on the fourth floor features many leading international colour, beauty and perfume brands.
A diverse local and international food, wine, spirits and gifts line-up of over 50 brands includes international and local food products, wines, spirits and gifts. The offer includes Ovvio organic certified teas, Yalumba wine, Steens manuka honey, and local favourite Tim Tam cookies.
“At DFS, we pride ourselves on delighting and surprising our customers with beautiful products presented within luxurious and inviting environments,” said DFS Group President Merchandising and Consumer Marketing Sibylle Scherer. “The renovated T Galleria by DFS, Sydney brings a whole new retail experience to visitors exploring this beautiful city, offering them a unique duty free shopping space in the heart of The Rocks area.”
The refurbishment of T Galleria by DFS, Sydney began in August 2016 under the direction of Australian design company PMDL. The company was also responsible for the design of T Galleria by DFS, Macau, City of Dreams, and T Galleria by DFS in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
