With its own retail stores and those run by franchise partners, the company enables customers worldwide to dive into the fascinating world of Victorinox. After the opening of stores in Vienna, Prague, and Lyon in 2020, 2021and 2022 respectively, Mumbai was on the agenda for April 2022. Victorinox products are now available in more than 120 countries worldwide and the Victorinox brand world can be experienced in stop-in shops and in more than 50 of our own retail stores.

Fitness gurus, sports enthusiasts, urban trendsetters, and travel afficionados can look forward to functional travel gear, watches, and perfume. Amateur chefs and professionals will find a wide selection of kitchen knives and utensils. Of course, the iconic Swiss Army Knives are also available. In addition to a wide range of models and colors, Swiss Army Knives can be personalized with regard to configuration and an engravement of choice. We also have a surprise element of personalization in some of our travel gear. Moreover, inspired by the brand DNA and the functionality of the iconic Swiss Army Knife, some travel gear products offer a special personalization option. Initials and names up to twelve characters can be engraved on an iconic Swiss Army Knife scale in a color of choice.

Victorinox is proud to offer all five product categories under one roof and offers a unique brand experience that consumers will always remember.
