New Tiffany Store Plans To Open With A Bang

Published on 12/06/08

A new branch of famed diamond ring retailer Tiffany's opens in Perth next month.

The store's launch is to be marked by a Breakfast At Tiffany's-themed party, reports the West Australian.

Located on King Street and set to open its doors to the public on July 24th, diamond bracelet and diamond ring fans in the city may be anticipating the arrival of one of the world's most famous jewellery brands to the Australian location.

And the movie-themed opening is likely to whet diamond-lovers' palates even further.

In the 1961 film based on Truman Capote's novel, the character of Holly Golightly, played by Audrey Hepburn, expresses her love for the New York branch of Tiffany's.

"We are in the process of planning an elaborate opening event, which we are very excited about," Glen Schlehuber, managing director of the company, told the publication.

Established in 1837, the first day's sales at Tiffany's flagship New York branch totalled $4.98 (£2.58).
