Providing Visitors Luxury Apparel with Duty-Free Prices
CUPECOY, St. Maarten (March 25, 2014) - Paul & Shark, an Italian sportswear brand, officially opened its largest store in the Caribbean at the ultra-modern Blue Mall in St. Maarten (www.VacationStMaarten.com) on March 12, 2014. The brand's new location provides discerning travelers with an envious selection of luxury lifestyle men's clothing.
The St. Maarten Paul & Shark location carries more than 1,200 authentic items from the company's current yachting collection with items including: fine cotton long- and short-sleeved shirts, polos and t-shirts in an assortment of colors; long and short pants; jackets; sweaters; vests; hats; caps; belts; socks; swimming trunks; footwear (shoes and slippers); bags (duffel bags and backpacks); towels; and accessories including trendy iPad cases.
The store opened its doors last July to serve customers and recently held its official grand opening ceremony to celebrate the Dutch St. Maarten location as the largest in the Caribbean. Guests attending the festive official opening were entertained by a live DJ and Flamenco dancers and were treated to wine, hors d'oeuvres and a free Paul & Shark gift.
The Blue Mall location features Paul & Shark's new concept design with shining mahogany wood and an optical contrast of whitened oak floor and lights, conveying a special brightness and welcoming environment. International Paul & Shark officials flew in to St. Maarten to personally outfit the store.
The Paul & Shark sportswear trademark was founded in 1921 in Masnago, Italy. In its initial years the company was a knitting mill, producing and trading under its own name. In 1977 a new division was created for the development of sportswear for men and has since grown with collections for ladies and children.
Blue Mall St. Maarten features a wide variety of shops, five spacious levels of commercial and business spaces and three levels containing 37 luxurious one-, two- and three-bedroom residential suites. Located at 162 Rhine Road, Cupecoy, Blue Mall opens Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The official opening of Paul & Shark adds credence to St. Maarten's standing as the fashion and duty-free capital of the Caribbean.
