The brand’s newest retail outpost will be in London, opening June 3. The expansion builds on the success of its existing New York flagship location, the interior of which is relatively small but attracts a crowd of downtown cool kids and tourists who often spill onto the street. The London store, like its transatlantic counterpart, will include a cafe but will be multi-storey offering more lounge space in addition to retail, based on a video the brand published on its website.
