A key feature is the debut of the 'Access Suite,' an upscale lounge designed for select customers. This space will host invitation-only events, starting with a Valentino trunk show, which will present the latest collection directly from Milan. Following this, the suite will showcase 'Versace Wonderland' in mid-November, highlighting the Holiday collection. Likewise, from Thanksgiving through early January, [Dolce & Gabbana](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beach-club-popup) will take over the third-floor balcony with its 'World of Dolce & Gabbana' display. In addition, the 'Bal Harbour Shops Access Pop-Up' will "open in West Palm Beach’s CityPlace this November, featuring luxury brands like [Balmain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balmain-beach-club), Dolce & Gabbana, and [Tiffany & Co](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-constellation-of-love); this immersive pop-up will host a variety of events, including charity luncheons, yoga sessions, designer dinners, and fashion shows." Looking ahead, Bal Harbour Shops will celebrate its 60th anniversary in January 2025 with a yearlong series of exclusive activations.
