Travel Shopping Exclusives
Nars and China Duty Free Group ‘Face Everything’ with complexion-focused Hainan activation
Shiseido Travel Retail is setting a new matte standard in travel retail with the debut of Natural Matte Longwear Foundation at the cdf Mall in Hainan.
The exclusive launch phase at Dublin Airport runs to 5 October with the collection also available online through ARI.
The partnership, a first for both the brand and the cruise operator, brings together maritime heritage and bourbon craftsmanship in a distinctive experiential proposition.
The permanent range includes Cinder Forest No.168, Wild Haven No.172 and Ember Eclipse No.294, showcasing Tasmanian single malts matured and finished in some of the world’s finest casks, including rum, Cognac and Mizunara oak.
The partnership aims to reinforce the distillery’s global growth strategy, with Ardnamurchan Fascadale Highland Single Malt introduced as a travel retail-exclusive reflecting its West Coast heritage.
The range will be available for sampling at Lagardère’s Duty Free Discovery for four weeks, supported by trade communications, terminal OOH placements and social media activity to build brand awareness.
Priced at £99/US$131 (70cl), the limited-edition single cask whisky is limited to only 275 individually numbered bottles.
Or should we call it a K-pop-up? “We believe this collaboration reflects the growing convergence of content, culture, and commerce – particularly within the global Gen Z audience,” a Shinsegae Duty Free spokesperson tells The Moodie Davitt Report.
In this week’s spotlight on travel retail social media, we discover everything from bunny Chief Egg Distribution Officers to hand-painted eggs across Easter campaigns that are being shaped by pastel-led design cues and key visual elements.
Five expressions from The Balvenie’s Cask Finishes range, including two travel retail exclusives, are reimagined as a limited-edition collection through the intricate, narrative-led designs of artist Victo Ngai.
The Zurich Airport launch reflects Coty’s broader strategy to drive premiumisation and experiential retail within the channel by leveraging storytelling, innovation and personalisation.
The Moodie Davitt Report offers unrivalled Chinese language coverage of key China-related stories, anchored by our dual WeChat platforms – our weekly Moodie Davitt Account and Moodie Davitt Report China Travel Retail Express, which publishes daily.
Showcasing “the very best of Tasmania”, the concept combines a guided tasting experience with a curated retail offer of regional merchandise, complemented by a dine-in setting serving local wines, beers, spirits and locally sourced produce ahead of departure.
