Acqua di Parma opened the Paraggi Boutique as a seasonal retail space positioned along the Ligurian coastline near Portofino, Italy. The boutique combines maritime references with Mediterranean materials through striped fabric seating, polished wood surfaces, woven textures, and yellow lacquer detailing associated with the brand’s visual identity. Large arched openings frame views toward Paraggi Bay while natural light moves across the compact interior throughout the day.
The space incorporates fragrance displays, candle collections, and grooming products arranged across custom shelving and curved cabinetry finished in warm wood tones. Brass fixtures, rope-inspired detailing, and coastal color accents reinforce the nautical atmosphere without separating the boutique from the surrounding waterfront environment. The location is part of its broader seasonal expansion strategy across luxury travel destinations and resort-focused retail spaces in southern Europe.
