The Bottega Veneta store at JK Iguatemi shopping centre in São Paulo, one of two in this sprawling megalopolis, first opened its doors in 2012. With a newly appointed creative director, British-born Louise Trotter, the luxury brand has seen an accelerated roll-out of a new retail aesthetic across the planet. Here, at one of the city’s leading luxury shopping grounds, the 210 sqm. (2,260 sq.ft.) two-level space has seen a striking renovation. Amplifying the maison’s dialogue with architecture, fashion, and culture, the new retail aesthetic signals a heightened sense of artisanal excellence through a terrazzo store façade and flooring, and wall panels, shelving and other fixtures in Italian walnut. For the most discerning of shoppers, a private salon, furnished with voluminous leather sofas, wallnut panelling and matching side tables, is available on the premises. The renewed Bottega Veneta store carries a selection of women’s and men’s apparel, accessories, bags and shoes. © superfuture
