ItalianWine Brands shows its stylish side Vivel debuts with stunning newdesigns and delicious sweet treats V oga Italia, a brand owned by Italian Wine Brands (IWB), is known for its sleek cylindrical bottles and its focus in travel retail includes airlines for its Voga Prosecco DOC Brut and Voga Prosecco DOC Still. “This year marks an exciting chapter for Voga, as it is the 20-year anniversary and we will be unveiling a bold new styled limited-edition bottle in Cannes,” said Stefania Vittoni, PR and Communications, IWB. “The TFWA events are an important moment for us to connect with partners and showcase our wines. The packaging of Voga attracts lifestyle-oriented customers because it’s a very fashion-oriented brand, so we do a lot of events in fashion and global travel retail is a luxury platform and people want something different.” B2 / 2-X2 D ubai-based confectionery brand Vivel made a striking debut at this year’s TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference, using the event to showcase its growing ambitions within the travel retail sector. Vivel has built a reputation in high-end retail for its handcrafted chocolates, biscuits and confectionery inspired by Middle Eastern flavours and traditions. Ehsan Hosseini, General Manager, explained that Vivel recently entered travel retail with a successful launch in Dubai Duty Free and is now finalising openings in more major airports. A key highlight at the show is Vivel’s destination-inspired chocolate collection, featuring colourful, artist-designed packaging with landmarks of the airport locations. Positioned as both a premium confectionery product and souvenir/gifting item, the collection has already proven popular with travellers. The stand also drew crowds with freshly made pistachio and saffron ice creams produced locally in Singapore, alongside signature treats such as gluten-free Persian-inspired chickpea biscuits. B2 / 2-U12 D PT Antwerp began because it wanted to make diamonds accessible to anyone and has migrated the brand proposition from retail stores to a greater presence by utilising GTR. “The brand is originally Belgian and was founded in 2013,” said DPT Antwerp Director Frank Demeyere. “The original idea was to have its own retail shops and we had more than 25 retail shops worldwide – in Belgium, in Hong Kong, in Singapore and in France. Since 2019 we have been really into travel retail, and this market has been growing for us. We are now present in 276 points of sale worldwide – on cruise ships, in airports, on airlines and in two of our own retail shops – one in Singapore and one in Belgium.” L1 / 1-N21 DPT Antwerp initiative that shines Thursday 14 May 2026 20 T F W A D A I L Y
