Lagardère Travel Retail says Eye Love at Cairns Airport domestic terminal

AUSTRALIA. Lagardère Travel Retail has opened an Eye Love at Cairns Airport domestic terminal, the company’s fourth expression of the concept in the Pacific region.

The new store offers a “fresh face” for luxury and lifestyle sunglasses within domestic travel retail, Lagardère Travel Retail said, presenting travellers with on-trend, high-end and classic eyewear, normally only available in duty free.

The 50sqm store is modelled on the established Eye Love stores in Perth, Melbourne and most recently Auckland airports, featuring a “sophisticated and understated” layout with offerings from some of the world’s best known brands such as Dior, Prada, Gucci, Hugo Boss, Celine, Kate Spade, Fendi, Oakley, Dolce & Gabbana, Maui Jim and Ray-Ban.

Lagardère Travel Retail CEO for the Pacific Matthieu Mercier said that the passenger mix and market in the domestic terminal is the ideal fit for the Eye Love brand.

“Following the success of our Eye Love stores in Perth, Auckland and Melbourne, Eye Love Cairns adds an exciting new chapter in the roll-out of this concept within the Pacific,” he commented.

“Our highly valued partnership with Cairns Airport is the driving force behind our ability to bring these outstanding global brands and concepts to market, and our shared vision for innovation and excellence will ensure that Cairns Airport customers will enjoy a truly outstanding retail experience every time they travel.”

Cairn’s Airport General Manager Commercial Fiona Ward welcomed Eye Love as an exciting addition to the T2 retail offer and further consolidation of the airport’s partnership with Lagardère Travel Retail. “Eye Love Cairns’ impressive fit-out and eye-catching displays welcome people to come in and browse and confidently purchase quality brands and products.”
