On March 2nd, Stella McCartney will open its first directly managed store in the Hokkaido region on the third floor of the Odori building of Marui Imai Sapporo Main Store. Also on the same day, the Hankyu Umeda Main Store, which opened in September 2009 as the brand's first directly managed store in the Kansai region, will reopen with an expanded floor space.

Both stores will offer a wide range of Stella McCartney apparel, bags, shoes, and more. The Hankyu Umeda Main Store will also be selling a limited edition model of the iconic Falabella bag. In addition, to commemorate the new opening and renovation, a special gift will be given to customers who spend over 100,000 yen on a first-come, first-served basis.
