History, opulence, reputation, stability, luxury, quality. These are some of the key words that form the Trafalgar brand. Ever since its formation in 1972, the company has steadily emerged locally as one of the key players in the inspiring realm of luxury retailing. The story of Trafalgar began by very humble means; a one-store operation operated and run by husband and wife, their goal to develop a secondary business to fuel their passion for watches and jewelry and to complement their already successful venture in real estate. Little did Yahya and Heidi Alansari ever expect their one-store operation to become their major source of income. Through periods of many economical highs, Trafalgar was able to quickly develop a reputation of retailing and catering to the growing elite. In a country blessed with huge reserves of fossil fuels, Kuwait experienced a long period of fantastic growth. But Trafalgar’s true test came through the many tumultuous periods of local, regional, and global turmoil, unrest, and financial troughs in which the company was able to not only survive, but emerge in a stronger position.The brands in Trafalgar’s portfolio have steadily increased during the past decade. Today, Trafalgar represents several highly recognized and respected luxury brands. Although its focus was the watch and jewelry field, Trafalgar has over the past decade entered the world of fashion. Trafalgar is well geared to meet future challenges with a portfolio of 26 POS spread throughout the most recognized shopping centers of Kuwait, over 350 employees, and an unmatched reputation for professional ethics. Remaining true to its identity as an independent company, Trafalgar today is managed by Amer Al Ansari and his wife Christiane. Combining their individual strengths (Amer Al Ansari’s educational background in business management and hospitality, and Christiane’s in the field of retailing and fashion design), the company is looking forward to the many new adventures it will surely face.
