Dunhill to Close London Flagship

Alfred Dunhill will close its Old Bond Street flagship in February 2004, less than three years after it opened.

The London store was launched in mid-2001 as part of a drive to make the label more contemporary, and was intended as a template fore future openings.

Max Mara is favourite to take on the Old Bond Street store, according to property sources. It is taking its wholesale distribution in-house and intends to expand.
