Paul Smith has more than 130 stores in more than 60 countries. It enjoys a notable travel retail presence, including stores at London Heathrow and Copenhagen airports and Shinsegae Centum Duty Free in Busan, South Korea.
The brand will be exhibiting its fashion & accessories range on the Newmark stand at this year’s TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes (Yellow Village, H35).

“Our expertise, experience and insight in the travel retail sector gives us so many fantastic opportunities. We are really thrilled to be able to represent such an established brand as it embarks on a growth strategy in this channel.”
Paul Smith CEO Ashley Long added: “We have a historic relationship with Newmark and it’s one we are always looking to build on. Being a part of the TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes is an exciting avenue to grow and reach new audiences.”
