Located at Plaza 66, the four-level store marks the brand’s 16th Maison worldwide and houses leather goods and ready-to-wear for women and men, luggage, watches and jewellery, footwear including made-to-order in addition to rare products.
The space also features specially commissioned artworks by Chinese and international contemporary artists as well as a five-metre high pagoda sculpture.
