Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Unveils New Concept Store in Central Hong Kong, Advancing Brand Transformation Through Elevated Customer Experience
| (Hong Kong, China, 10 September 2024) Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Limited (“Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group”, the “Group” or the “Company”; SEHK stock code: 1929), the leading Chinese jeweller built on nearly a century of trust and innovation, is excited to announce the grand opening of its new concept store in Hong Kong. This revitalised retail presence and elevated customer experience marks a significant milestone for the Group as it continues to deliver on the multi-year brand transformation announced in April 2024.
Celebrating Legacy, Delivering a Contemporary Retail Experience The new concept store meticulously showcases Chinese culture and exquisite craftsmanship, paying homage to the values which are deeply rooted in Chow Tai Fook’s brand. At the dawn of the brand’s 95th anniversary, the new concept store is a celebration of Chinese history and design, while infusing modernity across the collections and overall customer experience.
Located at 42-46 Queen’s Road, Central, Hong Kong, the reimagined store delivers an evolved, end to end customer experience. Embracing a gallery-like aesthetic, the concept store showcases the jewellery collections as treasures, while allowing customers to fully immerse themselves in the contemporary allure of Chinese heritage and design.
"The new store opening in Hong Kong marks a pivotal milestone in the evolution and contemporising of the Chow Tai Fook Jewellery brand. We take immense pride in unveiling a space that epitomises modern elegance while embracing our rich heritage, a story that began in Guangzhou in 1929," said Ms. Sonia Cheng, Vice-chairman of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group. "Through this new concept store, the launch of our five-storey Shanghai flagship store in 2025 and the reimagined retail spaces to follow, we are delivering on a commitment to bring Chinese culture and craftsmanship to the global customers. The new concept store masterfully translates our legacy into contemporary jewellery, inviting customers to immerse themselves in the intricate allure of our creations."
Transformative Retail Experience The new concept store, occupying 2,880 square feet of prime retail space on Queen’s Road, Central — one of Hong Kong's most iconic and historically significant streets— is designed to provide an immersive retail journey. The store's interior, crafted in collaboration with renowned designer Ms. Sue Loughry, has a collection-based layout and prominently features the iconic ‘Chow Tai Fook Timeless Red’ as its signature colour. The colour palette reflects the brand’s Chinese heritage and cultural significance of red in Chinese tradition.
Sue brings over 30 years of experience in luxury retail design in Asia. Her career, deeply rooted in the world of luxury and retail architecture, is marked by a commitment to precision and creativity. Her deep expertise and unique vision have significantly shaped the luxury retail industry.
"Designing the store involved a complete brand reimagining, to invoke emotions of comfort and discovery in the customer,” Sue said. “We removed physical barriers to create an alluring atmosphere, with dedicated associates offering a bespoke experience for customers.” Distinctive wall features and graceful curves create a spacious and stylish atmosphere, while soft lighting and elegant wooden accents elevate the presentation of Chow Tai Fook’s jewellery, inviting patrons to perceive the pieces as true works of art in a welcoming environment.
