Fresh retail concept for Cole Haan
Footwear brand Cole Haan has opened a 2,000-square-foot flagship Tokyo store, in a move it describes as a “first for the brand and a new retail prototype”.

The US-based company, which was bought by private equity firm Apax Partners at the start of last year, said the layout will form the basis for its expansion into China, Korea and the rest of the Asia-Pacific region.

In addition to the full Cole Haan lifestyle collection - footwear, small leathergoods and outerwear - the Ginza flagship will carry the debut Fall 2014 women's handbag collection as well as exclusive men's and women's footwear.

Greg Dinges, president of Cole Haan Japan, said: "Our brand has a great 20 year heritage in Japan and we're elated to open this new chapter in our history."
