Robert Cavalli arrives in India on Dec 8

The most important Bollywood celebrities will be present at the event and for the occasion will be wearing Roberto Cavalli creations to also celebrate with the designer the inauguration of the first Cavalli Caffè in India, situated next to the boutique and also managed in franchising with Infinite Luxury Brands Limited.

Open to the public from the 1st of December 2012, the Boutique and the Caffè will be inter-connected and the Caffè will also extend outside towards the atrium of the Mall, offering shoppers to take a break and relax in comfortable and fashionable chairs and sofas, surrounded by crystal lamps and zebra animal-print carpets.

Offering an elegant and refined menu, from lunch to aperitif, from coffee break to after-dinner drinks, the Cavalli Caffè atmosphere enables its clients to savour different moments throughout their day in an intimate and classic setting where the cuisine proposes a wide range of traditional Italian products and flavors.

The Cavalli Caffè will also offer the opportunity to buy gifts, such as chocolate gift boxes and Cavalli Chianti Reserve Wine, Cavalli Premium Italian Vodka and Grappa.The Cavalli Caffè experience finds its roots in the historical Cavalli Caffè Giacosa, located in Via Tornabuoni in  Florence, an antique shop founded in 1815, which was a meeting place for a refined and noble Florentine clientele, which Roberto Cavalli brought back to life, preserving the elegance of the setting.

“Experiencing the enjoyment of a good cup of coffee, with good food and in pleasant company… this is the Cavalli Caffè philosophy. I wanted to transmit all my passion for beauty and sensuality in an hospitality project … I think India will become immediately a big fan of Cavalli Caffè”, said Roberto Cavalli, Chairman of Roberto Cavalli Group.

“This is an extremely exciting time for Infinite Luxury as this is our first venture in the hospitality industry. We are making a substantial investment to facilitate this expansion as our extensive research revealed a real need in the emerging markets for a branded lifestyle experience " said Manav Gangwani, Director Marketing and Communications at Infinite Luxury Brands Ltd.

Roberto Cavalli Group already operates the Cavalli Caffè in Florence and upcoming openings are planned in Beirut, Kuwait City, Doha, Jeddah and Dubai. Roberto Cavalli is also operating Cavalli Club in Milan, Dubai and soon to be in Miami by Spring 2013.
