Experienced luxury duty-free accessories executive Gerry Munday has joined Italian leathergoods brand Furla.

Ms Munday has spent the last five years at Mode Creation Munich (MCM), which she joined in 2006 after 20 years handling the duty-free retail business of Bally.

Based near Bologna, Furla specialises in bags, belts and small leathergoods. It has more than 300 of its own stores and, in addition, a presence in duty-free shopping areas across the world.

Ms Munday said the brand was preparing to strengthen its focus on travel-retail.
