Product Overview

From a single boutique in Damascus, Syria, in 1955, the Chalhoub Group had grown by 2019 to operate more than 650 luxury retail stores in 14 countries throughout the Middle East and North Africa. By blending its knowledge of luxury and its unique Middle East expertise, the Group had built a powerhouse of brands, enjoyed a reputation for excellent service with all its partners, and offered a differentiated retail experience to its customers in the region.
