Tapestry Group, which owns the Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman brands,  is all set to place the headquarters for its China travel retail business in Hainan.

蔻驰、凯特·丝蓓和思缇韦曼品牌的母公司泰佩思琦集团(Tapestry Group)已准备将其中国旅游零售业务的总部设在海南。

New York-listed Tapestry formally signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Hainan Provincial Bureau of International Economic Development (Hainan IEDB) and a bonded zone committee in Haikou, the capital of the island province, on Tuesday. 

周二，在纽约上市的泰佩思琦(Tapestry)与海南国际经济发展局、海口综合保税区管理委员会正式签署了战略合作协议。

The president of Tapestry Asia Pacific and CEO of Coach China, Yann Bozec, said: “The Hainan market continues to see vigorous momentum. The launch of our China travel retail headquarters here is an important milestone marking the beginning of our travel retail business in China.” Bozec added that he expected to enter “a new chapter of rapid development” by advancing relationships with more retail partners on the island, the number of which has steadily increased. 

泰佩思琦(Tapestry)亚太区总裁兼Coach中国总裁兼首席执行官杨葆焱(Yann Bozec)表示，“海南市场继续保持了蓬勃的发展势头。中国旅游零售总部的成立，是我们在中国旅游零售业务开始的一个重要里程碑。”杨葆焱表示希望在海南携手更多合作伙伴，迈入高速发展的全新篇章。目前，海南自贸港的旅游零售业务正在稳步增长。

Hainan Provincial Bureau of International Economic Development (Hainan IEDB), is helping groups like Tapestry not just establish themselves in Haikou, but also accelerate their business development, explore digital transformation options, and expand omnichannel services. At its new HQ, Tapestry will begin building up a local operation team with the aim of coordinating the group’s travel retail business across the whole country. 

海南国际经济发展局(Hainan IEDB)正在协助类似泰佩思琦(Tapestry)这样的集团在海南落地并发展业务。泰佩思琦(Tapestry)的海南新总部将会建立一个本土运营团队，来协调集团在全国各地的旅游零售业务。

Hainan wants to be the center of travel retail and free trade in China. Last year in May,  IEDB held the inaugural China International Consumer Products Expo in Haikou, which attracted over 1,500 domestic and foreign companies from around 70 countries. Exhibitors included a host of luxury brands including some big names like Burberry, De Beers Forevermark, L’Oréal, Shiseido, Swarovski, Swatch and Tapestry.

海南致力于成为中国旅游零售和自由贸易中心。去年5月，首届中国国际消费品博览会在海口举办，吸引了来自70多个国家的1500多家国内外企业参展。参展商包括一大批精品品牌，其中不乏一些知名品牌，如巴宝莉(Burberry)，戴比尔斯永恒印记(De Beers Forevermark)，欧莱雅(L’Oréal)，资生堂(Shiseido)，施华洛世奇(Swarovski)，斯沃琪(Swatch)，以及泰佩思琦(Tapestry)。
