The Moodie Davitt eZine: The astounding rise of Rare Planet in India; + Craft spirits report

INTERNATIONAL. Welcome to The Moodie Davitt eZine, Travel Retail’s LookBook.

In this issue we profile the rapid emergence of Indian retailer Rare Planet, whose online and physical stores – including a growing network at airports – offer a valuable platform for skilled craftspeople to reach a vast domestic and international audience.

Now its founders Ranodeep Saha and Vijay Kumar plan to take the concept global, repeating the formula of working with each country’s artisans to sustain, champion and advance their skills and heritage while simultaneously giving back to local communities.

We also carry an in-depth report on the travel retail market for craft spirits. We reflect on the sector’s consumer appeal and hear from brand owners about their latest developments.

As suppliers tell us, a strong consumer premiumisation drive and the influence of cocktail culture in many markets are helping to drive evolution in this spirits sub-category.

We also bring you our latest ‘Through the Red Door’ column in association with Elizabeth Arden, this time featuring former Furla Global Travel Retail Director and TFWA Board Member Gerry Munday.

Please enjoy this edition with our compliments. ✈
