CHARLES & KEITH’s inaugural duplex flagship store in South Korea, situated in the vibrant shopping district of Gangnam, Seoul, is now open. Spanning an expansive area of over 330 sqm, the two-storey flagship store stands as the largest CHARLES & KEITH boutique in South Korea. Staying true to the brand’s signature minimalist aesthetic, the brand-new flagship store showcases a thoughtfully designed interior characterized by gradual curves and fluid lines. These design elements are seamlessly integrated with a clean and understated colour scheme, resulting in a space that emanates a modern and refined ambiance.
The flagship store features striking sculptural artworks by South Korean artist Jeesun Park, making a bold statement throughout the space. These sculptures, while harmoniously complementing the spatial design, stand out with their unique shapes and artistic presence. Fragmented hemispheres, arcs, cut-out shapes, ellipses, and other unfinished forms intertwine to create new compositions.
In addition to its remarkable features, the flagship store in South Korea is the first in the country to introduce Made for Me by CHARLES & KEITH, an exclusive in-house personalization service. This offering empowers customers to express their unique individuality by embroidering their names onto selected items. The embroidery also includes two exclusive icons inspired by Seoul: a magpie and a graphic artwork depicting the city’s vibrant essence. Going beyond the celebration of creativity and individuality, the Made for Me service adds an invaluable personal touch that brings deeper meaning to the act of gifting.
