CHARBONNEL ET WALKER

APAC EXCLUSIVE WHOLESALE PARTNER AND HK MANAGEMENT

In November 2020, ArcOn Brands launched Charbonnel et Walker in Hong Kong, at a prime retail presence within HongKong Land's Central shopping mall portfolio. As their full operational partner, we have since launched other pop-ups and drive its fast-growing e-commerce platform.

“We were delighted when we partnered with ArcOn Brands to launch Charbonnel et Walker in Hong Kong, and to great success. They secured us outstanding sites in prestigious locations within the Central business district, under the umbrella of the HongKong Land portfolio. In parallel, they very quickly launched the e-commerce platform which was supported by some of the most innovative and creative marketing ideas we have seen at Charbonnel. I look forward to working with them grow the brand across Asia Pacific.”

- Galvin Weston, Chairman - Charbonnel et Walker
