A new Gagliardi outlet will flank brands Lacoste and Gant at Bay Street.

The Gagliardi brand has been making inroads in a number of European markets, with a presence of 16 outlets in six countries and plans for further expansion throughout this year.

Bortex Group managing director Peter Borg said: “Opening stores outside Malta means a little bit of Malta abroad. The company seeks to bring together a mix of brands that provides customers with a comprehensive choice.”

The brand’s e-commerce platform, also based in Malta, is registering triple digit growth annually and ships products worldwide from its warehousing facilities, which are also based here, “ Borg said.

“The project is unique in the Maltese context, as Gagliardi offers a complete menswear concept created entirely locally. Maltese designers working from the company headquarters in Marsa create ranges that are inspired by the local Mediterranean lifestyle, culture, history and joie de vivre.”

The collection comes in three ranges: business, weekend and evening, and includes suits, jackets, trousers, shirts, knitwear, footwear, outerwear and accessories.

Gagliardi is open on Level 2 at Bay Street, St George’s Bay, St Julian’s. Bortex outlets are open seven days a week between 10am and 10pm. Made-to-measure service is available by appointment.
