The new Valextra store is located on Via Manzoni in Milan. The brand offers incredibly luxurious and fashion-forward handbags and small leather goods that have been marked by superior craftsmanship and quality.
For the aesthetic atmosphere of its retail location, Valextra employs British designer John Pawson who embraces minimalism in its rawest form. He focuses on creating analogies between the luxe brand's product and pieces of artwork. As a result, the Valextra store enjoys the layout of a gallery-like space. The surroundings reflect "minimalism, clean elegance and restrained luxury." On the gray backdrop, the label's colorful offerings stand out effortlessly. With a certain monumental vibe, those who walk in have the opportunity of experiencing a truly expressive space that blurs the line between artistic merit and fashion design.
