According to the Australian newspaper The Age, Billabong plans to open up shop in the heart of Russia.
Billabong plans to set up a flagship store in one of Moscow’s trendy shopping districts as a way to assert its dominance in the international youth-wear market. . . . Billabong is sold in over 100 countries including the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Estonia, which makes up about 1% of global sales.
Which reminds us: “Every Russian, looking at Moscow, feels that she is a mother; every foreigner, looking at her and not knowing her maternal significance, must feel the feminine character of this city, and Napoleon felt it.”
