Colette, Concept store in 1st arrondissement, France.
Colette was a three-story retail destination that brought together fashion, an art gallery, a bookshop, and a water bar. The store featured more than one hundred different bottled water brands alongside curated clothing and accessories.
The shop was founded in 1997 by Colette Roussaux and shaped the Paris fashion scene for two decades. It closed in December 2017 after years of success and growing significance in international retail.
The store served as a gathering place for fashion enthusiasts who followed exhibitions and product launches throughout the year. Artists and designers used the space to present their work to a discerning audience.
The store spread across three levels with ample space to explore different sections including fashion, books, and the special water collection. Visitors could easily move between departments and discover the full range of offerings.
Karl Lagerfeld was a regular customer who praised the shop as the only place worldwide where he found items unavailable elsewhere. His endorsement made it a symbol for exclusive fashion and hidden treasures.
