Cole Haan, Tokyo
A brand known for its American craftsmanship has opened a flagship in the heart of the Ginza, one of the premier shopping districts in Tokyo.
The 2,000-sq.-ft. space marks the new face of Cole Haan for its retail stores as it expands. It blends tradition and modernity in a casually elegant environment, with distinct presentations for both female and male shoppers.
The design celebrates the brand as it expands into new markets and creates new products with an indigo tile 'shell' that is distinctive and memorable. Inside, each “room” is fashioned as a chapter in the Cole Haan story.
The flagship carries the full Cole Haan lifestyle collection, which includes footwear, small leather goods, outerwear, sunglasses, jewelry, and other items.
Design: Anderson Architects, New York City, in partnership with local architects, Garde Co., Ltd.; (working together, under the direction of Cole Haan VP creative director Andy Gray).
