Welcome to the festive season
The Chic Outlet Shopping® Villages celebrate the festive season in style with the opening of new boutiques, seasonal celebrations and VIP Shopping Experiences.
Maasmechelen Village (Brussels/Antwerp/Cologne) welcomes a host of new brands in the lead-up to the festive season.
For those who love to be creative in the kitchen, find the perfect gift in French brand Le Creuset’s new boutique. Other openings, which include Triumph, Asics, Neuhaus and Falke, will be joined by specialist footwear brand UGG Australia which is opening a pop up store. Meanwhile, younger members of the family can enjoy story time in the speciality children’s bookstore Pardoes.
Ingolstadt Village (Munich) has launched a unique concept ‘Pop-up’ boutique – ‘BlackBox’.
Open throughout December, the new boutique is home to collections from leading German designer brands, including Blauer, FTC Cashmere, Meindl, George, Gina & Lucy, Fraas and SLVR. With a continuously evolving brand mix, BlackBox is the perfect one-stop shop for glamorous party outfits and unique gifts during the festive season.
Fidenza Village (Milan) is launching an exciting Santa’s Workshop boutique, created in association with Convivio. Founded by Gianni Versace in 1992, Convivio is recognised as the most important charity in Italy supporting ANLAIDS (Associazione Nazionale per la Lotta contro l’AIDS), which works tirelessly to promote positive behaviour as a means to prevent the spread of AIDS. Open throughout December, Santa’s Workshop is a unique festive boutique offering traditional toys, miniature trains, rocking horses, tin soldiers and timeless teddy bears. The boutique is decorated throughout with seasonal symbols of mistletoe and reindeers, complemented by warm candlelight to create an atmosphere that enchants children and evokes memories of childhood for adult visitors.
In order to raise awareness of World AIDS Day on 1 December, the experience of Santa’s Workshop will be enhanced by the Shopping with a Star initiative. Local Italian celebrities will take on the role of shopping assistants for the day, welcoming customers and helping pick the perfect gift for their loved ones. Proceeds of sales from Santa’s Workshop will be donated to ANLAIDS.
