STUART WEITZMAN STEPS INTO TORONTO IN STYLE
WITH ITS FIRST Stand-Alone Store
Presenting A Complete Array of Fashionable Footwear & Complimentary Handbags
Just in time to stylishly stride into fall, Stuart Weitzman opens its first stand-alone store at the Toronto Eaton Centre (TEC) ON August 27th. The downtown Toronto location marks the third opening for Stuart Weitzman brand boutiques in Canada, having recently launched at Rockland Center and Carrefour Laval in Québec. Within the next several years, the plans are to roll out a limited number of brand boutiques in select locations across the country.
“Toronto is one of North America’s most fashionable cities. I am sure that the expanded presence a Stuart Weitzman store gives with the entire collection, will enhance our visibility and recognition to the benefit of our retail partners and our brand in general, “ said Stuart Weitzman, CEO/Chairman and designer.
The 1,506 square foot store has a captivating atmosphere with an innovative interior design of ribbon detailing. Designed by famed Italian architect Fabio Novembre, who collaborates with Stuart Weitzman on its store designs, this unique modern retail concept has become a recognized worldwide icon of the brand. With a palette of vanilla/gray tones, the stores transcend into a modern contemporary space showcasing Stuart Weitzman’s shoes and handbags.
The select location reinforces the brand image and provides a full collection of approximately 200 styles of footwear, sandals and boots in all categories, including casual, city, dress and evening. The store also features the brand’s complimenting designer handbags.
