10. Fendi
Fendi’s first store in India was opened in 2006, at the Taj Mahal Hotel. Francois Ganes (India and West Asia area manager for the brand) stated back then: “in the next five years we plan to open six boutiques in India, since we recognize the country’s high potential”. That was not the case.
Today, Fendi holds only one store of their own, at the DLF Emporio, with its sign and window showcased on the front of the building. This year, they opened a four stories flagship boutique pop-up store, Fendi Ginza, inspired in their city of birth, Rome.
