Lane Crawford is bringing the new concept store to Beijing. The 25,000-square-meter store in the new Seasons Place Mall in Financial Street. Beijing will make an investment of HK$300 million and will employ more than 300 people.

The store will feature over 600 brands, including Prada, Stella McCartney, Givenchy and Toy2r. More than half of its brand portfolio will be new to the Beijing market.
