The inaugural Acne Studios store will be located at the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Taipei Xinyi Place. The opening of Acne Studios’ first store in Taiwan market is scheduled for October 18, to be followed by a celebration beginning of November.

Samy Redjeb, Bluebell Greater China managing director, said: “We are honoured to be part of the process of bringing Acne Studio’s first physical stores in this market and being involved in the careful selection of best in class locations through a deep understanding of the local market and our long-standing relationship with key real estate players in Taiwan market. The trust that Acne Studios has placed in our Bluebell team is not taken lightly. We understand the unique DNA of their brand and the reputation they have built within the fashion industry. It is both a privilege and a responsibility to be entrusted with bringing their vision to fruition in the Taiwan market.”
