Clearly, The Kooples didn't open their first-ever LA store last month as we had hoped. But don't make plans for a pity party just yet, because the cult-favorite Parisian fashion house has just officially confirmed their new opening date on Robertson: Thursday, July 17.

Per an official release this afternoon, the brand reveals that their 3,230-square-foot home will showcase "new signature retail design details including imported marble, large format screens featuring the brand's world famous marketing campaign and the full range of The Kooples and The Kooples Sport collections" for men and women. "We chose Los Angeles for the same reason American brands choose Paris, London or Milan in Europe, explains head of global communications Harry Heber. "These cities allow brands commercial exposure while maintaining their authenticity."

Stay tuned for more info. In the meantime, YES!
