Borsalino has opens a new boutique at the renowned historic shopping destination Burlington Arcade and this retail debut in the UK marks another important step in the brand’s expansion.
The new two-level Borsalino boutique covers over 40sq m and is situated at the Piccadilly end of the 196-yard arcade. The retail concept, created by architect Nicola Quadri for Borsalino, first debuted for the maison’s recent boutique openings in Via della Spiga, Milan and in the Italian resort area of Forte dei Marmi, was expertly implemented for Burlington Arcade, resulting in a harmonious balance between traditional and contemporary style.
“We are very proud of this new boutique opening in London, a multicultural city, rich in history and energy,” confirmed Mauro Baglietto, Managing Director for Borsalino, “For our first boutique in this City, we chose Burlington Arcade, a location of great charm, as it had inspired Milan’s Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, where Borsalino has been present with a retail boutique since 1883. This opening in London kicks off a retail development plan that will involve main European capital cities, aimed at further consolidating the international presence of the brand.”
