The Brand Store has a long history in offering exclusive jewelry creations and fashion accessories to an exquisite clientele. Through an extended network of physical stores and more recently, an eshop, tailored to the high principles and long tradition of the company, The Brand Store is the leading luxury retailer in Greece.

The Brand Store is today an established authority in the jewelry retail industry, offering products that are hand-picked, of the highest quality and of unique craftsmanship, offered by the most renowned and trusted brands in the world.
Always being ahead of their time, the Argyropoulos family embraced technology in its quest to provide their customers with the best buying experience and an after-sales service that does justice to the core tradition of the company, valuing customers to create long-lasting bonds.
