We here at Secret Sales HQ may be content with buying all our Tommy Hilfiger designer clothes on this very site, but sometimes getting to see them first hand helps and that’s why I thought the fact that the label has finally announced the opening of its flagship store in New York was quite exciting.
The brand will be joining some of the world’s most revered upscale retailers on New York’s famous Fifth Avenue. After years of opening up shops in major cities around the globe and ignoring Tommy’s hometown, it has finally come to its senses and found the perfect location for the ultimate anchor base.
Commenting on the plans, Tommy himself told Reuters: "I’m very excited to open our global flagship in the city where I first started the company over 20 years ago.
"The Fifth Avenue flagship represents the mix of aspirational yet affordable – the foundation and heritage of our brand philosophy."
By opening up the store in the Big Apple, the big wigs behind Tommy Hilfiger have made a rather tactical move in a bid to further elevate the brand in both the US and internationally.
The idea is that basing the label in New York, it can become more accessible than ever, which is what the essence of the designs themselves is all about – accessible fashion that can be worn by anyone and purchased at reasonable prices.
Would you be keen to visit the store when it opens?
