L.A. is where Closed started its US operations and it feels very natural to come back here for our first-ever retail footprint. L.A. is one of the most relevant and inspiring places for young creatives and the fashion industry – especially when it comes to retail destinations such as Platform in Culver City, where our store will open this summer. We are very grateful for this opportunity and the trust and support we have received from our partners at Runyon Group.
We couldn’t be more excited to open our first physical store in the US. After launching our US online shop 3 years ago and distributing Closed to an exclusive selection of multi-brand partners, we feel this is the next step to further validate what the brand has built with our partners’ support over the past ten years,”
– Til Nadler, Co-Chief Executive at Closed
The store design effortlessly combines its sunny Californian surroundings with Closed’s European roots, immediately welcoming each visitor with a feeling of being on vacation. The light-filled space features fresh yellow tones, round shapes, selected objects, and striped textiles reminiscent of beach loungers. On the walls, large-format photographs taken at iconic Italian vacation spots bring dolce vita vibes. The store offers over 1000 square feet of retail space featuring denim handmade in Italy, ready-to-wear, accessories, and lifestyle products. Closed will organize special events around personalization workshops and customer experiences inspired by the brand’s retail stores throughout Europe.
