Italian beauty and cosmetics brand KIKO MILANO has announced the opening of its ninth store in India at Phoenix Marketcity, Bengaluru, marking another milestone in the brand’s ongoing retail expansion in the country.
The development was announced on LinkedIn by KIKO MILANO company officials, who shared the opening as another important step in the brand’s India growth journey. The announcement highlighted the company’s ambitious plans for expanding KIKO MILANO’s presence in the Indian market, with the latest Bengaluru store further strengthening its growing retail footprint.
Located at Phoenix Marketcity, Bengaluru, the new store brings KIKO MILANO’s distinctive Italian beauty proposition to one of the city’s prominent shopping destinations. The opening adds to the brand’s retail network in India and provides consumers with access to its portfolio of makeup, skincare and beauty accessories.
Founded in Milan, Italy, KIKO MILANO has established itself as an international beauty brand combining Italian creativity, fashion and beauty innovation. The brand offers products across categories including face, eyes, lips, skincare and beauty accessories, with a strong focus on colour, innovation and self-expression. Its products are designed around contemporary beauty trends and are positioned to encourage consumers to experiment with different looks, textures and colours.
KIKO MILANO’s identity is closely linked to Milan, where the brand’s creative vision and product development are rooted. The company has built an international retail presence by combining a broad product portfolio with an accessible and contemporary store environment designed to offer consumers an engaging beauty experience.
The latest store opening comes as India’s beauty and personal care market continues to evolve, with growing consumer interest in international beauty brands, premium cosmetics and experiential retail. Major metropolitan markets such as Bengaluru have emerged as important destinations for global beauty companies looking to establish stronger connections with increasingly sophisticated and digitally engaged consumers.
For KIKO MILANO, the ninth-store milestone reflects its continued commitment to developing its presence in India. The company’s focus on expanding its physical retail network enables the brand to reach a wider consumer base while creating opportunities for customers to experience its products and beauty proposition directly.
The Bengaluru opening was supported by multiple teams across operations, projects, visual merchandising, marketing, planning, business and merchandising, warehouse, human resources, training and technology, along with the store team and external partners. The company officials acknowledged the contribution of the various teams involved in bringing the new store to life.
With the opening of its ninth store in India, KIKO MILANO is continuing to build its presence in the country’s rapidly expanding beauty retail landscape. The latest Bengaluru store marks another step in the brand’s India growth journey and underlines its ambitions to further strengthen its retail footprint in the market.
As KIKO MILANO continues to pursue its expansion plans, the new Phoenix Marketcity Bengaluru store adds another touchpoint for Indian consumers to discover the brand’s Italian-inspired approach to makeup, skincare and beauty.
