Premium fashion grows in Krakow
FACTORY Krakow, the largest outlet in southern Poland, has strengthened its premium fashion mix with several new openings. Made in M., featuring brands from the MaxMara Fashion Group, such as MaxMara, Marella, Max&Co, and Pennyblack, brings elevated womenswear and accessories to the center.
Baldinini, the prestigious Italian premium footwear brand, and Wellensteyn, a German outerwear label, also joined the lineup. These additions reinforce FACTORY Kraków’s strong premium segment, which already includes Karl Lagerfeld, Hugo Boss, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, and Lacoste.
Over 60% of the centre’s retail mix is made up of international brands, including global sportswear leaders Nike, Adidas, Puma, and New Balance. Within this context, the American iconic brand GAP will make its debut in early summer, bringing its signature casual fashion for women, men and children to the center.
In total, the new openings will cover more than 700 sq m of additional retail space, further enhancing FACTORY Kraków’s appeal as a destination for premium and international brands.
