Gabriela Hearst has chosen Le Bristol Paris to be the location for its first-ever pop-up in the French capital, opening for a two-month run on September 2nd. The hotel’s ground-floor boutique will host a standalone House for the first time. It will be entirely reimagined for the occasion with natural-toned linen wall coverings and reclaimed oak display shelves, echoing the Gabriela Hearst flagship store designs in both New York and London. Custom furniture and fixtures were designed in collaboration with French sculpture and furniture design maker Antoine Dumas and woodworking artisan Benjamin Gavron.
A curated selection of handbags, accessories, and ready-to-wear will be presented, including key pieces from the house’s permanent collection as well as from Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter 2022.
The Uruguayan designer has nurtured close ties with Le Bristol Paris and considers the hotel to be her Parisian residence. The pop-up shop is a chance for the two houses to celebrate their mutual affection and their shared commitment to offering timeless expressions of luxury.
“Le Bristol simply put is the best hotel in the world. Having the opportunity to open our store at the hotel is a privilege. It will be our first proper presence in Paris…and, It’s my home when in Paris” says Hearst.
