Leading luxury fashion brand GUCCI opened the doors to its new store in Oakbrook Center featuring an Orobico Calcutta marble façade, marble polychrome inlays, herringbone wood flooring, Malva Pink Moire wall finishes, sumptuous chairs, and vintage oriental rugs. In keeping with the elegant and contemporary eclecticism that characterizes Gucci’s collections, the store sees the combination of traditional and modern, industrial and romantic. Contrasting merchandising elements represent different design codes, combining to create curiosity, inviting customers to feel like they are constantly discovering new aspects of the store. The mood within the store is one of discretion, where understated drama is created by the surprising and unexpected combination of materials. The 5,000-square foot space entices, surprises, and feels personal. The boutique showcases a wide collection of men’s and women’s shoes, handbags, luggage, small leather goods, fashion and silver jewelry, watches, eyewear, and fragrances. Gucci’s Oak Brook location is at 259 Oakbrook Center. For more information call 630-382-0088.
