The Gardens Mall continues to dominate in the ‘upscale’ category of malls in Palm Beach County. (Now if they could only get a Neiman’s!) Already recognized as one of South Florida’s super-regional shopping destinations, The Gardens Mall continues to reinvent its 1.4 million square feet of space by renovating and expanding existing retailers, while continuing to add new stores.
Remember when Louis Vuitton was closed for a few months and moved to an almost-way-too-small space just a few doors down? Yea, that was sad. But, have you been there recently? The space, expanded in square footage, looks great with its massive overhaul and reorganization of product. Always leading the avant-garde of fashion without compromising the traditional craftsmanship of luxury goods, the newly remodeled and expanded, 4,582 square-foot Louis Vuitton store reflects this image. As one of the world’s most recognizable brands, Louis Vuitton has produced luxurious leather goods since the 19th century and is now outfitted to offer a more in-depth selection at their Gardens Mall location. Louis Vuitton has expanded their assortments in men’s shoes, small leather goods, women’s accessories, and handbags, as well as a large selection of exotic and runway collection pieces that have been added for the fashion-forward shopper.
Other renovations and expansions at The Gardens Mall include
BROOKS BROTHERS: The classic American brand, Brooks Brothers, has recently expanded to a 10,929 square-foot store. This ready-to-wear fashion emporium still specializes in professional and casual collections for men and women, including traditional, high-quality sport coats, pants, dress shirts, ties, and sweaters. Brooks Brothers has expanded their retail offerings for boys and girls, as well as shoes and handbags for women.
ANN TAYLOR: Ann Taylor offers the essence of modern, classic style, with fashion that is versatile, polished, and refined to go from work to weekend, and day into evening. They now occupy 4,139 square feet on the lower level in the Saks Fifth Avenue court to cater to the fashion-conscious woman who values stylish attire for her professional and personal lifestyle.
WHITE HOUSE / BLACK MARKET: White House/Black Market has revamped and relocated into a 3,343 square-foot space on the lower level of the shopping center in the Saks Fifth Avenue court. Now offering even more of their stylish signature black and white palette, this expanded, individualistic boutique design includes accessories and footwear for women.
GODIVA CHOCOLATIER: Godiva, creator of the world’s most elegant, hand-crafted chocolates, is renovating its existing location in the Saks Fifth Avenue court. The offerings include gourmet chocolate, fine chocolate gifts, hand-dipped fruits and pastries, and other luxurious products that make perfect gifts of indulgence for every occasion.
New retailers joining the world-class lineup at The Gardens Mall include:
PANDORA: PANDORA has opened their beautiful, bright new store with Pandora’s signature, exciting, and interchangeable collection of hand-finished jewelry. The superior Danish designs allow you to express your own personal style and share unforgettable family moments. Bracelets, rings, earrings, and Swiss-made watches complete the affordable luxury line available in many finishes, including 14-carat gold, sterling silver, and Murano glass pieces.
SOMA INTIMATES: Soma Intimates is not just lingerie, it is beautiful and sensual, but also soft and luxurious. This is a place that caters to women with a fit for every body type. An environment where warm, personal service is the mantra. Soma is dedicated to offering supremely comfortable, high-quality bras, panties, sleepwear, and relaxation wear.
OIL & VINEGAR: The first Oil & Vinegar store in Florida is scheduled to open sometime in November at the Nordstrom end of mall. The Oil & Vinegar “culinary gift shop” concept brings together a wide range of international food and cooking products in alluring Mediterranean-style surroundings. The focal point of the store is the “amphora wall,” where an international selection of over 40 oils and vinegars are dramatically suspended in glass containers on a backlit wall. You’ll also find a vast selection of imported olive oils and vinegars, pesto and tapenades, appetizers, marinades and sauces, dressings, mustards, salts, exotic herb mixes, and more. The shop’s design, atmosphere, and sampling options turn shopping into an adventurous experience, offering guests a tour of culture, healthy eating, amazing flavors, and “tasteful” gifts for any occasion.
