Luxury Italian lifestyle brand Bruno Magli is setting up shop in New York. On Sept. 1, the company will unveil a location in the city’s trendy Soho neighborhood. It’s the second store opening in the U.S. since new owner, Marquee Brands, acquired the brand in 2015.
The 2,000-square-foot store will be located in a shopping area that boasts designer brands including Gucci, Chanel and Tiffany & Co. “Opening our concept store in Soho is about having a more direct relationship with our Bruno Magli consumer,” said Cory Baker, COO of Marquee Brands. “Not only are we seeing Bruno Magli grow in awareness among a younger, sophisticated consumer through our social media outreach, but also our brand loyalists and new fans alike will appreciate experiencing the brand in a dynamic environment that will be part retail, part museum as well as social café. Italian luxury is about more than just a purchase. The experience and appreciation for the design and history that is put into each Magli shoe is why this brand continues to thrive since 1936.”
