French luxury maison Carven plans to open several stores in Asia.

Focus of expansion will be China, where it will open mono-brand stores in addition to the existing two in Shanghai. Its local partner BlueBell is scheduled to open a third store in July.

It will also open a new store in Jakarta this month. Elsewhere in Asia, it also runs stores in Taipei and Hong Kong.

Carven offers ready-to-wear for men and women.
