Bottega Veneta Opens Women's-Only Store in New York

Italy-based fashion brand Bottega Veneta opened a women’s-only store in New York on Nov. 5, according to www.wwd.com. Situated at 849 Madison Ave., the 2,000-sq.-ft. store represents a new retail concept that segregates the sexes. Standout design features include walls covered in suede, door handles sheathed in leather and a pair of leather sofas that were designed in collaboration with high-end furniture company Poltrona Frau. The store also includes glass shelves atop ready-to-wear fixtures dramatically suspended from the ceiling that hold a single pair of shoes.
