    Furla Opens 75Sqm Boutique at the Venetian Macao

    Italian accessories brand Furla has opened a boutique at Shoppes at The Venetian Macao in September 2026, adding more than 75 square metres of retail space to its Asia-Pacific network.

    It carries the brand’s full range of handbags, small leather goods, eyewear, textiles and charms under an updated store format.

    Modular Layout and Interior Fit-Out

    Inside, the boutique features dedicated product zones and a magnetic display wall for seasonal arrivals. The setup lets staff reconfigure floor layouts without structural work.

    Italian materials anchor the interior, mixing natural oak and painted metal with lacquered surfaces, tiles and light gold accents. A palette of ivory, latte, white, grey, burgundy and aqua green runs across the display fixtures and perimeter shelving.

    Casino Footfall and Regional Push

    Casino mall retail relies heavily on mainland tourist traffic. Leases demand steady transaction velocity from transient shoppers rather than local repeat footfall. In this corridor, premium leather goods makers face direct competition from heritage luxury houses upstairs and accessible fashion labels fighting for discretionary travel spend.

    A compact 75-square-metre footprint keeps operating costs down while the brand tests product turnover along high-density casino walkways. Success at The Venetian will depend on converting foot traffic during peak holiday windows when mainland visitor volumes surge.

    Greater Bay Footprint

    Founded in Bologna in 1927, the company expanded its retail presence earlier in the year with a refreshed store format in Hong Kong. That rollout introduced lighter fixtures and revised zoning across urban locations.

    The Macao opening extends that format across the Pearl River Delta, where retail performance tracks incoming visitor arrivals alongside cross-border ferry and bridge volume.

  • Sands China mall sales increase when land-based visitors return

    Sands China mall sales increase when land-based visitors return

    Sands China mall revenue rose 5.8 per cent last year as Mainland China visitor numbers rebounded. Sands China owns The Venetian Macao, Sands Cotai Central, The Parisian Macao and The Plaza Macao shopping centres which boast a combined 1.87 million sqft of retail-mall space. They form a key part of the company’s giant gaming and resorts business in the territory, which combined posted US$8.67 billion in sales last year, up more than 14 per cent, and achieved a post-tax profit of $1.87 billion, up 17 per cent.

    The company says mall revenues for the year increased 5.8 per cent overall to $507 million, compared to $479 million the previous year.

    The increase was primarily driven by higher turnover fees from Shoppes at Four Seasons, Shoppes at Venetian and Shoppes at Cotai Central, and from additional retail space becoming available at Cotai Central.

    The strongest-performing mall complex was the smallest of the four, The Plaza Macao, which has the 241,548sqft gross leasable area (GLA). It achieved 99 per cent occupancy with a base rent of $460 per sqft and tenant sales of $4373 per sqft, contributing $145 million in revenue, up 10.7 per cent year on year.

    The weakest-performing mall was The Parisian Macao, with 89.8 per cent occupancy of its 295,915sqft GLA. Base rent per sqft was $156 and tenant sales per sqft $649. Revenue there fell 13.6 per cent year on year to just $57 million.

    The company’s largest Macau property, and its first, The Venetian Macao, has 813,376sqft of GLA. It achieved total mall revenues of $233 million last year – up 6.4 per cent – with 90.3 per cent occupancy, a base rent of $263 and tenant sales of $1746.

    Sands Cotai Central, with 519,681sqft GLA, achieved $69 million in revenue – up 9.5 per cent – and achieved 91.5 per cent occupancy. Base rent was $108 and tenant sales $892.

    Sands China said its food and beverage revenues rose 4.1 per cent last year to $304 million, driven primarily by increased foot traffic.

    Chairman Sheldon G Adelson said Macao’s development and evolution as Asia’s leading tourism destination accelerated during the year, with market-wide visitation from China reaching a record 25.2 million visits, an increase of 14 per cent compared to last year.
