The store’s design concept harmonises with Balenciaga’s visionary Raw Architecture approach, offering an immersive experience for visitors. The deconstructed glass-paneled facade seamlessly integrates all three floors, resembling the layered structure of a parking facility.

Notably, the construction of the store emphasises the preservation of existing elements, aligning with Balenciaga’s commitment to sustainable practices, as it reduces the use of virgin materials.

The opening of Balenciaga’s Tokyo flagship in the Toraya Ginza Building signifies a milestone for the brand, as it solidifies its presence in one of Tokyo’s most prestigious shopping districts.
