Italian womenswear and accessories house Coccinelle has appointed Giada Cappelletti as Head of International Markets & Global Travel Retail.
Cappelletti’s appointment comes as the brand seeks to drive growth and profitability in its travel retail division, where it already boasts a strong and vibrant presence at airport, downtown duty free malls and in the cruise sector.
Cappelletti joined Coccinelle from Milan-based Baldinini in July 2022 as Head of International Markets to focus on the brand’s expansion in APAC and Europe domestic markets. In her new role, Cappelletti will also be part of the TFWA Management Committee, representing the Fashion and Accessories category.
“I am honoured to work with Coccinelle during this exciting time for the company and to lead the global travel retail division,” Cappelletti said.
“Coccinelle is a brand with a passion for craftsmanship, evidenced by a strong commitment to the finest Italian leathers and artisanal production”.
Coccinelle Chief Operating Officer Emanuele Mazziotta commented: “Coccinelle will continue its expansion plan in travel retail in current and new markets to always be at the customer’s side.
“I welcome Giada in her new role as Head of International Markets & Global Travel Retail. With her strong international and commercial experience, Coccinelle will further develop and grow the travel retail business, a strategic channel for us.”
