Romania is the second largest market in Central and Eastern Europe, with 22

millions consumers. It is a new member of the European Union (since 2007).

Romanian-born millionaires listed in Forbes have doubled in the last 2 years,

the luxury car sales growth has double digit figures, and luxury real-estate has

reached Western Europe pricing.

The Romanians Latin-driven appetite for social status and high-end brands

was fuelled by the real estate boom, which created a new social class of

estate owners with net worth between 1-3 million Euros. In 2008, over130.000 registered entrepreneurs earned over 4.000 Euros per month. It is

estimated that 10.000 wealthy consumers own assets of over 5 million Euros

and have a minimum of 100.000 Euros budget allocated yearly for luxury

products and services.

Wealthy people reside in the capital Bucharest, Constanta, Cluj and Iasi. In

fact, the growing interest in Bucharest is why most of the industry is located inthe capital, as it attracts local and intl. business people for new projects and

market penetration. The Romanian market is virgin and still unexhausted in

all business sectors. Especially the luxury market has a huge potential. In

Bucharest, there are some multibrand retailers and mono-brand boutiques of

international brands on Victory Avenue and Magheru Boulevard, but the first-

ranked fashion designers are missing, with a larger variety of products.

Bucharest, once known as Little Paris, has over 2 million inhabitants and while national

GDP/capita is estimated at 8.000 euros, the Bucharest GDP/capita is of over 12.000 euros. TheEuropean Regional Growth Index (E-REGI), published annually by Jones Lang LaSalle, put

Bucharest as expected to produce the highest output growth ever in the next 5 years. In 2008,

Bucharest ranked 48th from top 91 European cities based on E-REGI, up by 10 positions since its

2006 entrance into the top. Bucharest accounts for over 30% of the total retail turnover of

Romania. High-end brands are being commercialized especially in hotel retail areas, targeting

tourists rather than the general public. The primary retail area in Bucharest counts

approximately 45.000 sqm of space. Magheru Boulevard ranks 39th this year in the top of themost expensive retail street in the world, 13 positions down as compared to last year. The top,

made by the real estate consultants Cushman & Wakefield, includes 60 retail streets. The retail

spaces rents on Magheru Boulevard stood at around 960 Euro per sqm, a 44.8 percent decline

as compared to the same period of last year.

International fashion retailers:

There are only few commercial centers in Bucharest: Baneasa Shopping City, Vitan Mall, Plaza

Romania and AFI Cotroceni, where some high-end brands are located. Nevertheless, the luxury

market is emerging with brands like LVMH Brioni, Canali, Ermenegildo Zegna. Other

international retailers present here are: Zara, Marks & Spencer, Debenhams, Promod, Mango,

Intersport, Terranova, Esprit and Peek & Cloppenburg and, recently, H&M.

Cocor has brought a fresh supply on the retail market in October 2010, earmarked to luxury

brands with high chances to shift local perceptions. On this still transitional market, Cocor has

the opportunity to become a leader on the high-end brand market and increase the interest ofbrands for the historical center of Bucharest.

As analysts say, what Bucharest lacks so far is a destination for luxury. Bucharest doesnt have a

Fifth Avenue, nor a Bond Street or a Montaigne Avenue, thats why COCOR Department Store

has become a designers multinational brands, and its target is represented by customers with

disposable incomes of over 2.500 Euros per month.

Cocor opened in fall 2010 with a concept inspired by the Hyundai Department Store Seoul, a

department store with brands as tenants, with a high level of interior and exterior finishing. The

interior design was commissioned to JHP Design UK, a company rewarded in 2008 for Best UK

Retail Interior.

Cocor Comp. by shares committed an 18 million Euros investment approved by shareholders,for overhaul, 200 cars parking with direct access to each floor, media facade and GLA extension

with 30% to 9.500 sqm from a total of 25.000 sqm building space.

Cocor owns the largest Largest media facade in Europe 3300 sqm, largest DOOH - digital

Anne BeBe is located at the center of the 5th floor (kids floor), near the escalators,

occupying a surface of approx. 80 sqm.

The props and the quality furniture, carefully chosen, offer an elegant display, which

is modern and welcoming at the same time.

The entrance in the shop is situated in the center, displaying tall windows (of 3.8 m)

on both sides, with a wide view.

While designing the look for Anne BeBe, much emphasis was put on powerful yetnatural lighting, to help bring the items to front, outlining them.

The store proposes collections with modern color patterns for little girls and boys, both classical and

elegant. Quality and uniqueness are the reasons that make customers come back to Anne BeBe COCOR store whenever they are in need of clothes for their little ones.

According to age and preferences, customers can choose from the newest collections of Romanian

designers: Mrs. Juganaru, Ada Rose and Petit Coco.

Anne BeBe brings a modern and sophisticated perspective as well through other well-known

Romanian, Spanish and Italian companies: Anne BeBe, Rosalba, Primigi, Dodipetto, Mayoral, LeonShoes, Malerba, Miki Baby, Baby Fox, Alkrom and Baby Ono.

The collections comprise modern clothes: coats, skirts, dresses made of gossamer or other

sophisticated linens, vividly-colored ballet shoes for little princesses, and elegant suits for little

gentlemen.

By observing the demand for baptizing articles, Artconfex mainly undertook this segment, and at

present, it offers customers something special on the Romanian market: fully-customized trousseaus

(candle, church set and matching clothes, accessorized with Swarovski stones and handmade

embroideries).

Along the years, we have noticed a growing demand for the products of international

luxury brands such as: Baby Dior, Burberry Kids, Cavalli Angels, D&G Junior, Iceberg

Kids, Miss Blumarine, Moncler, Moschino si Simonetta, which are vaguely present on

the Romanian market.

We consider that the local market has a high absorption capacity with respect to

high-end brands. A collaboration between such companies and Anne BeBe would be

a guaranteed success, offering customers the idea of lifestyle and fashion, as well as

the joy of wearing a worldwide known brand.

It is our opinion that the outstanding style represented by your brand brings a fresher

and more stylish look to the baptizing collections in our store, thus fulfilling the

godfathers and parents needs to buy special clothes for their spoiled little ones.
