LUXASIA first won the award back in 2021, at the end of its successful rigorous five-year transformation which made it the peerless omnichannel distribution platform for luxury beauty and lifestyle in the Asia Pacific. Not resting on its laurels, LUXASIA continued driving strong business growth and portfolio diversification, while investing heavily into its talents, culture, capabilities, and operations.

Over the past 12 months, the Group has launched multiple boutiques for the likes of Acqua di Parma, Diptyque, and La Prairie. In partnership with SK-II, LUXASIA launched the brand's first-ever Concept Store in the world at Mid Valley Megamall in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

For all its efforts, LUXASIA also scored a hattrick win as Luxury Retailer of the Year for Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand at the Retail Asia Awards 2024 last month, for its stellar growth and top-notch retail initiatives in these markets. Most recently, the company even formed a strategic partnership with Agence de Parfum in Australia and New Zealand to become the preeminent beauty omni-distributor Down Under.
