    “We have no cases of coronavirus in any of our stores and we continue to take all necessary precautions to keep our stores hygienic and safe for all.”

    The company said its T Galleria by DFS Canton Road store and T Galleria Beauty by DFS in Causeway Bay are continuing to trade as usual and the company’s online store remained open.

    “We look forward to reopening as soon as possible.”

    The multi-sensorial Crème de la Mer exhibition at T Galleria Beauty by DFS, Hong Kong, Causeway Bay begins as guests step into the giant jar, transporting them into an oceanic realm, the World of La Mer, through the sounds of the sea and soft glow of underwater lighting. Customers journey through the five moisture textures – Rich, Soft, Sheer, Balanced, Cool – each representing a unique moisturizer of La Mer conceptualized into dynamic installations for maximum sensory stimulation. On the other side of the exhibition, guests can discover the secrets of The Miracle Broth™ and marvel at the Crème de la Mer wall, the perfect backdrop for customers and influencers to capture unique, memorable moments. 

    La Mer’s Skincare Artistry Experts will also be on hand to provide bespoke consultations, introduce moisture rituals and share tips on how to “Arrive Hydrated” at your destination and keep skin looking healthy and luminous from take-off to touch down and beyond.  With a minimum purchase, customers will receive a complimentary La Mer luxury travel trunk case with the option of personalization by calligraphy services offered on site*.

Alex and Cindy bring that journey to life as they share their adventure of exploration, uncovering Venice’s beauty, art, architecture, music and people. Through Tom’s lens, we created a visual love affair with Venice, sharing with our customers that joy of discovering something for the first time and providing a new take on the Floating City,” said John Gerhardt, Senior Vice President Creative Branding Direction, DFS Group.

    Throughout March, April and May, customers can immerse themselves in the campaign across DFS’ 17 airport and 18 downtown T Galleria stores as well as online and on DFS’ social media channels.
