Kith is proud to announce the official opening of its first European flagship store in Paris, France on February 26th 2021. Located in the heart of the Golden Triangle, this flagship occupies three floors and the central courtyard of the historic Pershing Hall Building at 49 Rue Pierre Charron. Kith Paris will be the brand's largest store to date at 16,000 square feet and will provide a holistic lifestyle experience for customers which includes Kith Retail, Kith Treats, and a Kith for Sadelle's restaurant. As always, Kith has worked with perennial design firm Snarkitecture to create this sixth flagship.
The space features core motifs to Kith's retail design language, blended with native elements distinctive to its French home. As with all Kith stores, the shop features uniquely positioned plaster cast sneakers. In Paris, the cast fixture lines the barrel-vaulted ceiling of the Carrara marble-tiled entryway. With each new continent, Kith selects a different sneaker silhouette lineage to highlight. For Europe, the Air Max 1 was chosen as a tribute to France's innovative Pompidou Center. The entryway opens to a grand double-height courtyard, with an Accessories Lounge and Kith Treats, the brand's cereal and ice cream bar, anchoring opposite ends of the surrounding colonnade.
Situated adjacent to Sadelle's, Kith Treats is crafted in stainless steel and Carrara marble, and features the brand's discernible parlor-style cereal canister wall. The bar will serve a tailored variation of offerings, including its global signature specials curated by friends and family of the brand and classic Build Your Own offerings, as well as specials and standalone mix-ins exclusive to the Paris shop, along with all of Kith Treats' inline apparel releases. read more
