Bric's and Tumi continue global growth

Italian leather goods maker Bric’s inaugurated a new shop at Milan Malpensa airport on May 1 - the same day as the Milano Expo 2015 opened. The dual store for the Bric’s and Tumi luggage brands is managed by Bric’s. Located at the entrance of the non-Schengen area, it is strategically positioned to attract the attention of passengers travelling to Asia, East Europe and the Middle East.
