NATIONAL : The Autore Group has struck gold in Las Vegas.
The vertically intergrated jewellery brand - which specialises in the production of South Sea pearl earrings, necklaces, bracelets and accessories - has caught the eye of American department store giant Neiman Marcus. After spotting Autore's paraiba earrings (pictured) at an invitation-only trade fair in Las Vegas, Neiman Marcus executives requested a meeting with the company before snapping up the latest collections for four of its stores.
CEO of Autore Group Rosario Autore described the coup as "amazing" and confirmed the department store had signed on for the Essential, Boutique, Couture and Sheherazade ranges.
"We're humbled by the fact that such an iconic American retailer has chosen to stock our jewellery," she said.
Since its inception, Autore has enjoyed a strong international profile with extensive editorial coverage and high-profile clients such as Angelina Jolie, Cate Blanchett, Jessica Simpson, Scarlett Johansson, Uma Thurman and Halle Berry.
