NEW DIGS: Christopher Kane is planting a second flag in Mayfair this week with a pop-up shop at 15 Old Bond Street, WWD has learned. Kane’s Mount Street flagship, a 10-minute walk away, will remain open.
The space, which spans 538 square feet, has previously been home to fellow Kering brand Bottega Veneta, and to Tod’s. A Kane spokesperson said the pop-up will stock key pieces from the runway shows as well as commercial ready-to-wear and accessories. There will also be exclusive pieces made for the store, which is set to remain open until the end of the year.
“Mount Street remains our flagship store, and the opportunity to open a second space as a pop-up on Old Bond Street is a wonderful one,” the spokesperson said. “This additional store allows us the opportunity to showcase the brand — and the universe of what we do — to a potentially wider audience of both Londoners and tourist alike.”
The spokesperson said the brand is planning various cultural events throughout the year, including collaborations with different groups and local partners. There will also be product launches and other events.
