The Delhi store will span 162 square metres, and will be located at the DLF Emporio. The new boutique and flagship stores will offer a complete range of Valentino products across womenswear, menswear, footwear, and accessories.

It will also feature an experiential design to provide customers with a global experience.

“The upcoming store opening represents a significant step in Valentino’s global strategy, and we are honored to be part of the country’s growing retail market, allowing the company and the Valentino Community to grow in a solid way, according to our values and brand culture,” Jacopo Venturini, CEO of Maison Valentino, said.
