The British luxury beauty house opens its first standalone flagship in Southeast Asia at Plaza Indonesia — choosing Jakarta ahead of Singapore or Bangkok, and localizing it with a batik-inspired Pillow Talk Beauty Bar.
The German luxury house trades years of Jakarta pop-ups for a permanent Level 2 boutique at Plaza Indonesia — a quiet but telling commitment from a brand that makes roughly 70% of its sales in Asia.
The Finnish design house enters Indonesia at Plaza Senayan — operated by PT Panen Lestari Indonesia, the MAP Group arm behind Galeries Lafayette, SOGO and SEIBU — signalling that Jakarta's appetite for distinctive design now pulls in brands beyond the usual European luxury names.
