15 Sep 2023 CW Team

The Indian branch of the renowned French multinational luxury fashion house, Christian Dior SE, has secured a lease for approximately 3,320 square feet of retail space within Reliance Industries' Jio World Plaza, situated in Mumbai's bustling business hub, the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC). This lease spans a period of 9.5 years.

Notably, Christian Dior, a global brand with a strong presence in India, currently operates stores in key Indian metropolises such as Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru.

Fascinatingly, the parent company of Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, has also recently finalised a lease agreement at Jio World Plaza to establish its largest store in India.

The lease for this space has been secured through Christian Dior Trading India, a subsidiary of the company, at a monthly rent of Rs 21.56 lakh, equivalent to Rs 650 per square foot, based on either the minimum monthly guaranteed amount or a share of the net revenue, whichever is higher. These details have been revealed in documents obtained through FloorTap.com.

Christian Dior Trading India, as the licensee, will be subject to a lock-in period of 36 months, and the lease will remain in effect until May 2032.

The lease agreement incorporates a provision for rent escalation, with a 7.5% increase from the 19th month to the 42nd month, followed by a 15% increase every 36 months. Additionally, Christian Dior Trading India has submitted a security deposit exceeding Rs 13.9 million, which will also experience a 15% escalation every 36 months.

Numerous global luxury brands have set their sights on the burgeoning Indian market, either through collaborations or direct market entry, in order to capture a larger share of this promising landscape.

Given India's status as one of the world's fastest-growing economies, there is a strong anticipation of substantial growth in the number of millionaires in the coming years. This is expected to drive significant consumption of luxury goods and services within the country.
