Located in a grand 19thcentury Haussmann building, with interiors hewn from Grand Antique marble, Celine's Rue Saint-Honoré store is a temple to Parisian elegance and luxury, dedicated to the feats of savoir-faire that define the house under current creative director Hedi Slimane.
Designed by Slimane, the store is punctuated with geometric mirrored walls and surfaces, a nod to France's mouvement moderne. The ground floor is dedicated to leather goods, fine jewellery and women's accessories, while a semi-spiral staircase, in golden brass, ascends to a salon-style mezzanine displaying the house's 'Haute Maroquinerie' bags (the pinnacle of Celine's accessories offering, each is created by hand by a single artisan). Next door, the house's apothecary-style haute parfumerie, which opened in 2019, is now interconnected, providing a dedicated home for Slimane's fragrance offering. 'Pronounced classicism and dissonant sophistication,' says the brand of the olfactory project, which, like the store, is designed to capture 'the essence of Paris'.
