Gabriela Hearst announces the opening of an exclusive retail installation at Le Bristol Paris. For the second time, the residence at the hotel’s ground floor boutique will host a standalone Gabriela Hearst space, which will be the Maison’s exclusive retail location in Paris. Coincidentally, the retail installation will be launched at a time that marks a milestone year for both Gabriela Hearst and Le Bristol Paris, which will celebrate their 10th and 100th anniversary respectively.
In line with the Maison’s commitments to sustainability and craftsmanship, the space was entirely re-imagined for the occasion, echoing the Gabriela Hearst flagship store designs in New York, Los Angeles and London.
It features custom furniture and fixtures commissioned by Gabriela Hearst and created by designer-makers Benji Gavron and Antoine Dumas of Gavron Dumas Studio, with natural-toned linen wall coverings and reclaimed local French oak display shelves. Gavron Dumas Studio furniture collection was born from three design principles: the timber must be sourced sustainably, the timber must be sourced locally, and the furniture must be handmade by local artisans.
The store will include pieces from Gabriela Hearst women’s collection — including ready-to-wear, fine merino wool and cashmere knitwear, fine jewelry as well as small leather goods. The retail installation will also offer an assortment of the Gabriela Hearst handbag collection, specifically the Nina, the Demi, the Diana and the Leonora, including one-of-a-kind exclusive handbags pieces.
