Global Leather Accessories Megabrand RABEANCO Opens First U.S. Store

NEW YORK, Aug. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- RABEANCO, recognized worldwide for quality leather accessories and fashion forward styles, unveils its first American storefront in Arcadia, California.  The Arcadia location, designed by RABEANCO in collaboration with interior designer Yukiharu Takematsu, marks the first of three storefronts projected to open in the United States in 2013.  Located on Level 1 in the Nordstrom wing of the Westfield Santa Anita Mall, RABEANCO's first U.S. retail location boasts a modern, chic interior, which highlights the vibrant collections.

Entering through a white, Grecian marble front door, RABEANCO fans and new customers alike navigate 2,000 square feet of retail space, housing quality, sophisticated leather accessories.  Enthralled in a unique shopping experience, shoppers receive the finest customer service, while perusing an array of on-trend, functional handbags and exquisite leather goods.  Also grabbing customers' attention, an impressive 7-foot-high video display flashes various product and glossy ad campaign images.

"From the beautiful architecturally designed store to the artistic discovery of each individually crafted luxe leather accessory; the consumer will find something special each time she visits a RABEANCO store," says Elaine R. Sugimura, President & CEO.

New styles from the Spring/Summer as well as Fall/Winter 2013 collections are situated atop wooden tables with urethane piano coating.  The collections are also showcased on stainless steel plate polished wall displays with marble inlay.  Notable handbag favorites, including the playful Kanga, sporty Lucia, polished Camilla, ladylike Fabianna, and stylish Massini, are also available to the brand's enthusiastic following.

Having celebrated the launch of RABEANCO.com this past May, the rapidly expanding contemporary accessories brand looks forward to building a vast presence in the United States.  The Arcadia store opening marks the first of several subsequent, strategic store openings on American soil in 2013.

"We are excited about beginning phase two of our U.S. expansion. Southern California will play an important role in RABEANCO's U.S. strategy with our second store opening next month on North Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills. The launch of RABEANCO.com two months ago combined with the opening of RABEANCO's Arcadia store provides the foundation for a multi-channel experience for U.S. consumers," says Kevin M. Frain, CFO and Head of Ecommerce.
