HABIB Group is bringing the best of jewellery and accessories to Malaysians at its first group showcase at IOI City Mall in Putrajaya.

Happening from now until Aug 7, the showcase being held at the mall’s centre court features international brands such as Hearts On Fire (United States), Stephen Webster (London), Korloff (Paris), Pandora (Denmark), Tous (Spain) and brands from Time Zone – Ice Watch (Belgium) and Komono (Antwerp), as well as the proudly Malaysian brand Habib, which also carries the signature Habib Oro Italia 916.

Habib group executive chairman Datuk Seri Meer Habib said, “We are living in the greatest time in history. Life expectancies are the longest, lowest crime and poverty rates, and technological and healthcare advances.

“Positively, from my standpoint, we meet this year in a moment of extraordinary possibility and shopping has never been better,” he said.

He added that this event serves as a one-stop location for jewellery lovers to explore and experience all the brands under the group’s umbrella.

“The showcase is the start of the group's vision to expand its name and put Malaysia on the map of the world through its culture and identity. My son, Mirzan, has said that a jeweller is the tastemaker of a country. With great taste comes great responsibility.

“Habib has been offering world-class quality and designs at reasonable prices since 1958. To cater to the market, the group brought in exclusively renowned international brands such as Hearts on Fire, Stephen Webster, and Korloff, Oro Italia 916, PANDORA, TOUS, and Ice Watch,” he added.

From a small shop on 111 Pitt Street Penang named Habib Jewels, the brand has grown to be a household name in Malaysia with over 30 stores nationwide with online presence in Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Under Habib Group, it further expanded by having exclusive partnerships with top international brands.

Today, the group has evolved into a fashion and lifestyle company offering world class products to Malaysians.
