    With their ganache filling, Laduree macarons come in a variety of flavours, ranging from classics (chocolate, vanilla, lemon, coffee, salted butter caramel and rose petal) to seasonal (chestnut, Morello cherry, lime coconut and matcha).

    The brands beginnings go back to 1862 when Louis Ernest Ladurée, a miller from southwest France, opened a small bakery in Paris. In 1930, his grandson Pierre Desfontaines came up with the original idea of double-decker macaroons by sticking two shells together with a ganache filling. Since then, Ladurée has been selling around 20,000 macaroons every day all over the world.

    International expansion began in 2005 with London. Today, the brand has stores in 17 countries including Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan.

    Manolo Blahnik Malaysia debuts in KL

    Women’s shoe retailer Manolo Blahnik Malaysia has launched its first store, in Pavilion KL.

    The 95 sqm store is part of an Asia expansion plan that includes the refurbishment of its Singapore store at Takashimaya, as well as the launch of a flagship store in Tokyo next year. The brand is partnering with retailer Bluebell Group on the projects.

    Founder Manolo Blahnik, who opened his first shop in Chelsea in London in 1973, was born in the Canary Islands to a Spanish mother and Czech father. He studied languages and art in Geneva before moving to Paris in 1965, where he became a set designer.

    On a visit to New York in 1970, he showed his theatre designs to Diana Vreeland, then editor-in-chief of American Vogue, who encouraged him to concentrate on his shoe designs.

    Blahnik learnt the art of making shoes by visiting factories, and by 1971 was in London making shoes.

    Just weeks after the opening of the Saint Laurent Malaysia store at Suria KLCC, another has started trading at Pavilion KL.

    Its latest store aims to reflect the fashion brand’s heritage and identity, offering an original shopping experience. The boutique offers prêt-à-porter, accessories, shoes, sunglasses and jewellery for both men and women.

    Across two floors, one at street level, the boutique offers a modern interpretation of the French modernist movement of the 20th century, reports Buro 24/7. It takes a minimalist approach and is finished with art deco materials presenting an interplay of matte and shine through a fusion of materials: the floors and walls are in white statuary marble and black silk marble, with structures in polished brass and extra-clear glass.
