Harvey Nichols To Go To Russia?

Harvey Nichols may open a branch in Moscow after identifying a new wave of Russian "big spenders". Harvey Nichols confirmed to the Independent newspaper that two board members had been to Moscow to research the possibility of a new store.

Such is the demand by Russian consumers at the Knightsbridge store in London that it has taken on Russian-speaking staff members. A spokesman for the store said:

"They do not come to Britain to see the sights. They come to shop, and
they pay in cash. The way they spend is interesting. There are women
who come in with pages from Russian Vogue and when they shop for the
latest handbag, they buy seven. There is a hunger and passion for the
latest thing."
