Shamkhal Ildarov, head of the Russian Textile Union, said domestic fashion houses will occupy the retail space vacated by Chanel. His words are quoted by the radio station “Moscow speaks”.
“It is with great sadness that the Chanel trading house leaves the Russian market. The brand was popular among customers. But a holy place is never empty. Our Russian brands will take their place. “, remarked the speaker.
Ildarov said that Chanel expected to stay in Russia, but could not withstand the pressure of the European Union and eventually surrendered. He is confident that the French company and other famous fashion brands can be replaced by Gosha Rubchinsky, Alena Akhmadullina, Igor Chapurin and other Russian houses.
