Harry Winston opens retail salon in Hangzhou, China

U.S. luxury jeweler Harry Winston announced on Tuesday the opening of its latest retail salon in Hangzhou, China, taking the high-end jeweler’s store count to eight in the nation.

Situated on the first floor of the Hangzhou Tower within the bustling Wulin commercial district, the new 140-square-meter salon houses Harry Winston’s collections of jewelry and timepieces. 

The new salon features a crème travertine stone façade, accented with four luminous light boxes at street level. The entrance, located within the tower, showcases the house’s iconic gated entryway adorned with signature gold rosette motifs. 

Stepping into the salon, the interior boasts a color palette of soft taupe and grey, fostering an ambiance of warmth and serenity. Custom-designed lacquer and antique furniture, sumptuous silks, and bespoke chandeliers offer a modern interpretation of traditional Winston style.

The layout includes dedicated spaces for the House’s fine jewelry and timepieces, bridal collections, and high jewelry. Additionally, a private selling room ensures the discreet and highly personalized shopping experience for which Harry Winston is known for. 

“Revered for its rich cultural and historic heritage, Hangzhou, now the capital city of Zhejiang Province, is one of the vital cultural and economic centers of China, with an incredibly vibrant spirit,” said Nayla Hayek, CEO of Harry Winston, Inc.  

“The opening of Harry Winston’s new salon, marks its eighth location in mainland China, and brings the House’s timeless legacy to a city with over two thousand years of history.”

Last year, Harry Winston opened its first retail location in China’s Nanjing. The jeweler also operates two salons in Beijing and Shanghai, respectively, and one in Shenzhen, and Chengdu, respectively.
