It has now been confirmed the luxury Italian brand will be opening its first standalone store outside of London in Edinburgh later this year.
It will occupy an impressive corner location - formerly Hugo BOSS and Caffé Nero - and will span over 4,700 square metres of retail space.
We told how the company had applied for permission to do £750,000 worth of work across two units.
The Multrees Walk site in Edinburgh is considered to be a sought-after high-end brand showcase.
