Rustan’s, the country’s leading luxury retailer, introduces two new global brands with French roots: Daum and Haviland. Set to open in September at Rustan’s Makati, the latter is widely recognized for its artistic crystal decor and the former for its Limoges porcelains. Rustan’s hosted a tour for Haviland and Daum executives, which was led by Benjamin Brami, CEO; Thierry Delrieu, Asia Pacific Director; and Pascal Audran, Head of Sales.

The group was brought to the Home Floor (4th floor) of Rustan’s Makati to reveal the area where the Haviland / Daum boutique will stand. In preparation for the official launch in September, the group exchanged marketing ideas to suit the profile and behaviors of luxury shoppers in the Philippines. Afterwards, the team explored Rustan’s Shangri-la as a prospect for the subsequent Haviland / Daum boutique. The group was also accommodated at Dusit Thani hotel, where they enjoyed an intimate dinner with Rustan’s executives and friends from the media.

Sharing the legacy of serving only the finest
Rustan’s continues to curate the most exemplary lineup of brands suited for discerning customers. Haviland and Daum prove quintessential additions to the roster. With the brands’ rich beginnings, legendary status, and excellent pieces, both usher a refined and alluring ambiance to Filipino homes. In fact, Haviland whose founder moved from New York City to establish his own porcelain manufacturer in Limoges—has supplied many of the largest royal families and heads of state from around the world. Haviland’s decorative works were also involved in French excellence for more than 175 years. On the other hand, Daum’s story was propelled by its founder’s love for art, who celebrated the magic rendez-vous of artistic creation and modern savoir-faire. This love remains evident in each exquisite piece, thoughtfully formed by Daum artisans.
