Chow Tai Fook Goes Global: Iconic Jeweler Debuts in Bangkok with Eyes on the West
The Hong Kong luxury giant launches its first Thai location at Siam Paragon, signaling a bold expansion into Australia, Canada, and the Middle East by 2026.
Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group is officially taking its “Timeless Red” branding to the global stage. The Hong Kong-based luxury powerhouse has inaugurated its first store in Bangkok, Thailand, located in the prestigious Siam Paragon mall. This opening serves as a key milestone in the company’s aggressive strategy to pivot toward international markets.
The new Bangkok boutique is more than just a retail space; it is a showcase of the brand’s “brand transformation” journey. Featuring a blend of modern sophistication and traditional Chinese craftsmanship, the store offers exclusive collections tailored specifically for the Southeast Asian market to celebrate local Thai culture.
Strategic Global Roadmap With a massive network of over 5,000 stores primarily in Greater China, Chow Tai Fook is now looking far beyond its traditional borders:
- Southeast Asia: Following a successful launch at Singapore Changi Airport in November 2025, the Bangkok store reinforces the brand’s regional presence.
- Western Expansion: The group plans to enter Australia for the first time and open an additional location in Canada by June 2026.

- Middle East: A formal entry into the Middle Eastern luxury market is projected within the next two years.

A Vision of Modern Luxury “This expansion is part of our ambition to establish Chow Tai Fook as a leading force in global luxury,” said Sonia Cheng, Vice Chair of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group. She emphasized that the move reinforces the brand’s legacy of “innovation, excellence, and cultural resonance.”
To support this international push, the company has appointed renowned Chinese actor Yang Yang as its Global Brand Ambassador. By aligning with one of Asia’s most recognizable faces, the jeweler aims to cultivate a “refined, modern identity” that resonates with a younger, diverse, and global audience.

Marli New York Unveils Madison Avenue Flagship Boutique
New Luxury Space Blends Contemporary Design, Personalised Experiences, and New York-Inspired Architecture
Marli New York has expanded its retail presence with the opening of a new flagship boutique on Madison Avenue in New York City. Located at 785 Madison Avenue, between East 66th and 67th Streets, the 2,418-square-foot store marks the brand’s second location in New York, alongside its existing boutique at Hudson Yards.
Founded in 2014 by Maral Artinian, Marli has steadily built a global presence with boutiques across Europe, the Middle East, and the United States. The newly opened flagship has been designed as more than just a retail destination, offering clients a space to engage more deeply with the brand’s jewellery collections and creative philosophy.
Speaking about the opening, Maral Artinian shared that the boutique was envisioned as a place where clients can experience meaningful interactions with the brand while encouraging creativity, discovery, and personal connection within the Marli universe.
Designed in collaboration with architectural firm Aranda\Lasch, the two-storey boutique reflects Marli’s signature aesthetic through custom-designed furnishings, warm interiors, and thoughtfully curated spaces that encourage conversation and exploration.
The boutique also pays tribute to New York City, a long-standing source of inspiration for Artinian’s designs. The interiors incorporate Indiana limestone sourced from the same quarries used for iconic landmarks such as the Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.


Touches of teal, Marli’s signature colour, appear throughout the space, adding energy while reinforcing the brand’s modern identity.
One of the standout additions to the flagship is the redesigned M Lounge on the ground floor. Unlike traditional seated lounges seen in other Marli boutiques, the New York version has been reimagined as a more dynamic, studio-inspired environment featuring full-length mirrors that allow visitors to experience the jewellery in an immersive and interactive way.
The boutique also houses the exclusive Marli Club on the second floor — a private, light-filled sanctuary designed to create a more intimate luxury experience. At its centre is a handcrafted statement table created by Artinian in collaboration with New York-based designer Djivan Schapira, reflecting their shared Armenian heritage. The table features shifting blue tones accented by a gold pyramid centrepiece.
Artinian described the flagship as a reflection of the Marli spirit, where design, individuality, and emotion come together to create memorable and meaningful experiences for clients.
The new boutique showcases Marli’s signature collections including Cleo, Avenues, Tip-Top, and Empire, alongside the brand’s recently launched timepiece collection.
Artinian further noted that the Madison Avenue flagship represents a celebration of the city that has continually inspired the brand, while also offering visitors an opportunity to experience the artistry, discovery, and design philosophy that define Marli.
