Marni, the fashion house renowned for its upbeat colourways and modern silhouettes, recently opened a concept store extending over 143-square meters at The Londoner Macao.

The concept stores have been especially designed by Creative Director Francesco Risso and the in-house Architecture team at Marni. They feature a luxurious, immersive customer experience, with Ultra-Marine Blue as the sole colour accent. The Londoner boutique emphasizes the gradient blue carpet and silver mirror ceramic tiles, akin to the imagined living space of an art collector.

The stores showcase Marni’s Spring Summer 2023 Vol. 1 collection that covers both menswear and womenswear, in addition to the handbags, footwear and accessories range. Inspired by modern uniforms, the structurally innovative t-shirts and sweatshirts become treasured objects, calling back to the warm nostalgic tones and fit from the 1970s.

The  Spring Summer 2023 Vol. 1 collection’s prints were all derived from hand painted designs from artist Flaminia Veronesa, and also expand to include the joyous bunny-inspired designs from the label’s Lunar New Year capsule collection, as well as Veronesa's JULIE AND PICNIC series.

Aquamarine plays a starring role throughout their accessories collection. The brand has added new members to the handbag collection, including the East-West Trunk Bag, Toggle Bag, and Venice Mini Bucket Bag.

With the opening of the new boutique shopfront, Marni has added to the luxury shopping experience in Macau.
