California’s South Coast Plaza celebrates the grand opening of newly designed and expanded boutiques for Bulgari, Cartier, and Gucci.
Bulgari has debuted a 5,000-square-foot boutique. Its modern design concept pays tribute to Rome’s rich heritage.
Inside, guests will discover a dedicated men’s watches section, private shopping salons, and an array of Bvlgari handbags.
The South Coast Plaza flagship introduces the first-ever Bvlgari Lounge in North America—a chic bar and café offering light refreshments.
“I think there is a Bvlgari before and a Bvlgari after South Coast Plaza,” CEO of Bvlgari North America, Herve Perrot, said about the new boutique. “You will see that when you visit the store. This is quite impressive.”
Cartier has completed the expansion of its newly designed boutique. The 8,000-square-foot flagship has been re-imagined from the exterior to the lush salons inside the boutique.
The overall design pairs modern shapes with the Maison’s timeless design codes and a touch of whimsical details, including references to Orange County’s beach culture.
“We are thrilled to reopen our doors and invite new and familiar faces to visit Cartier South Coast Plaza,” says Walter Bolognino, President & CEO of Cartier North America.
“The boutique feels like an extension of the stunning Orange County landscape and is reflective of the casual elegance of its community.”
Gucci has unveiled a newly expanded boutique spanning two floors, offering a wider selection from the House’s collections.
The 17,500-square-foot flagship store’s interior design features custom marble flooring with geometric shapes drawing inspiration from designs found in historic buildings.
Clean lines and understated tones are complemented by soft rich fabrics adorning the walls, along with ivory boiserie acting as a delicate backdrop to the items on display, including dedicated areas for the Gucci Valigeria travel collection on both levels.
