All the universes of the brand- silk, perfumes, leatherwork- are represented with the decoration and the architecture of the store.
The biggest innovation is the custom-made space dedicated to men. Decorated with baroque mouldings and a plam leaves pattern, in a grey blue atmosphere, the room constrats with the pearly pink women space.
