The pop-up shop promotes a range of Swarovski festive collections, including Crystal Wishes, the Sparkling Dance Star, Vittore, Hero, Baron and the Angelic set.

The popular Swan collection is the highlight of the festive pop-up, featuring a range of necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings with Swarovski’s swan motif. Customers can choose from the classic swan, an edgier black swan and the facet swan.

This is the first-time Swarovski and CDFG have collaborated on a pop-up store.

“My sincere thanks go to CDFG for its ongoing support of Swarovski and assistance in the opening of this pop-up store,” said Swarovski Vice President Global Accounts Claudia Heskier Schioenning. “We are thrilled to be putting sparkle at the forefront this festive season with our pop-up store, and sharing joy with all as we highlight desirable jewellery and accessories that make spot-on gifts.”

“We were looking for a brand to launch a pop-up that would be the perfect fit for the festive period and we could not have been happier to work with Swarovski, one of the best-performing brands in CDFG Sanya Haitang Bay International Duty Free Shopping Complex,” said CDFG’s Meili Lee. “The products add sparkle and shine to Sanya Haitang Bay and will no doubt create a dazzling and long-lasting impression on customers throughout the festive season. We hope this collaboration is just the beginning of an ongoing partnership with Swarovski.”

To celebrate the pop-up promotion, customers spending RMB4,000 (US$603) receive a sparkling crystal star ornament.
