Following a successful TFWA World Exhibition, travel retail watch and jewellery specialist Kurate International has revealed the latest collections for its Belle & Beau and Moon brands.
Kurate International International/Travel Retail Key Account Manager Sharon Edwards said: “The Cannes event met and passed all expectations this year. We had some amazing appointments covering all aspects of travel retail. Some were current customers plus we had a lot of interest from new global customers, all of which we are following up on now.
“New collections prompted a fantastic response from retailers and other visitors. We’re passionate about what we do, and we are determined to help our partners find the ideal solutions for their businesses, and for their customers.
“Our jewellery and watches, at impulse price points and with distinctive packaging solutions, are developed for the travel industry. We are looking forward to brand expansion around the world in 2024.”
The latest Belle & Beau collections include Arm Candy and Stack it Up bracelets, in line with the ongoing stacking trend. The range also features Anklets, the ‘classic’ Ocean Treasures with pearls and gold plating, and the colourful Rainbow Dreams.
Synergy sets of earrings and necklaces include the Multipiece Luxe set, which was a finalist in the 2023 Travel Retail Awards. The T-bar design trend is met through a new range of necklaces, bracelets and earrings while Goddess, Amore and Paragon offer a wide selection of versatile pieces.
The Belle & Beau Wear the Rainbow range offers sets in yellow, rose and silver plating and two bracelet trios: Triple Kaleidoscope and Over the Rainbow. The All Ears collection caters to travellers looking for contemporary earrings, while the Time to Shine watch line-up includes the Arena Watch and bracelet set.
The brand’s ‘Jet’ range was particularly well received in Cannes. It includes different styles of earrings, toggle bracelets and a necklace. The collection offers statement pieces which feature combinations of gold and silver with bold black accents.
Belle & Beau’s latest displays and merchandising furniture includes a free-standing unit designed to maximise sales potential and create a more instant, interactive experience. Each side has its own key theme highlighting multi-buy promotions, bestsellers, gift ideas and travel retail-exclusive lines.
The brand’s countertop spinner holds approximately 50 stock-keeping units, priced between £12 (US$14.89) and £25 (US$31.07). The countertop pop-up displays can be tailored to suit space availability.
All Belle & Beau products are well-packaged. “I believe this is a great sales point, especially in travel retail,” said Edwards. “It’s perfect for gifting but there is also that nice feeling of buying yourself jewellery which is so well presented. Considering the price range of our products – from £12 (US$14.89) to £42 (US$52.20) – this just adds to our outstanding offer.”
Kurate International’s popular Moon watch range includes Hazy Days with matching bracelet in five colourways, the stand-out Treasure Chest range along with Lifestyle (a finalist in the Frontier Awards 2023). The Marbled in the Frame line comes with a complimentary bracelet as do the four watches in the All that Glitters set. ✈
