Melrose Place is officially the place to be. With new stores sprouting from Isabel Marant, Equipment and L'Agence, this Beverly Grove stretch is poised to become LA's new high-fashion heaven. Next up: Bottega Veneta.
Today WWD reports that the Italian luxury goods purveyor is planning to open a 2,700-square-foot store at 8455 Melrose Place, right next to Carolina Herrera and across from Oscar de la Renta and Chloé.
To differentiate from its existing Rodeo Drive boutique, Bottega's Melrose Place space will focus on the brand's luxe range of home goods. "There will be a very strong representation of home but that doesn't mean that Melrose won't have a very edited group of bags that work with the whole idea, or that coat or typical Bottega dress as well," Bottega creative director Tomas Maier explains to WWD. Take a peek at Bottega Veneta Home here.
