Networking group Women in Travel Retail+ held its first New York City event to great success on August 26th.
Hosted by the Joseph Ribkoff fashion house at their NYC showroom, with top-tier “On the Rocks” beverages generously donated by Suntory Global Spirits, the gathering brought together women from Suntory, PeppaRose, Morton James, Estee Lauder, L’Oreal Travel Retail, KAAI Bags, Ethos Farm, Premier Global Trading, Travel Markets Insider, and Avolta, among others.
Special guest Sarah Branquinho, chair and co-founder of WiTR, happened to be in New York and was able to welcome guests and provide background on the organization.
The team from Joseph Ribkoff, a Canadian brand that is now expanding its presence in travel retail, provided an informative trends report of fashion, with an emphasis on clothes that can travel from plane to dinner and still look chic and fresh.
