What: Manor has launched a new fashion concept in Basel and Lausanne, featuring a modern store design, exclusive brands, and themed fashion worlds.
Why it is important: This initiative represents Manor's strategic effort to enhance customer experience and strengthen its position in the mid to premium fashion segment, reflecting broader trends in retail modernisation and consumer engagement.
Manor has introduced a completely revamped fashion concept aimed at providing a unique shopping experience.
