Bottega Veneta, the stunning fashion house beloved by style icons such as Jackie Kennedy and Hailey Bieber and known for its woven leather bags and daring color palette, is relocating its Phipps Plaza brick-and-mortar to a newly renovated space for an even finer shopping experience. The new store’s architecturally interesting interiors speak to the brand’s core ethos: craftsmanship, cultural exchange and duality. Richard Ginori contributed gorgeous fluted ceramic pots to the space, complementing the beautiful display props and loose furniture dispersed throughout the store. The floor of handmade Palazzo Morelli terra-cotta tiles is finished with colored glazes, dryset and sealed with a thick coat of resin, applying a contemporary approach to a material dating to the 17th century and speaking to Bottega Veneta’s essence of duality. Lightweight rails throughout the store can be refigured, making the space adaptable for mixed purposes, while seating by Belgium-based duo Muller Van Severen draws the eye. Overall, the store’s aesthetic and ambiance ring true to Bottega Veneta as a brand: an inclusive experience with exclusive products. The store will carry the luxury fashion house’s iconic men’s and women’s leather goods and shoes. 3500 Peachtree Road NE, Ste. 1002C, bottegaveneta.com

Beloved by countless Atlanta celebrities, such as Tyler Perry and Elton John, this Italian fashion powerhouse’s arrival at Lenox Square seems like a match made in heaven. Spanning over 3,000 square feet, Gucci’s new brick-and-mortar showcases a wide range of accessories, from men’s and women’s shoes, handbags, lugg age and leather goods to jewelry, watches and Gucci Beauty. The interiors are designed to be discreet, avoiding a sensory overload through thoughtful, elegant and contemporary eclecticism in keeping with Gucci’s design philosophy. Traditional yet modern and industrial yet romantic, the space fosters curiosity and celebrates juxtaposition through an unexpected combination of materials. Technical, mechanical display units contrast with rich fabrics; geometric carpeted floors off set organic shapes; and moss green and pink velvets adorn chairs and benches, creating a space that feels true to what Gucci is. Customers feel as though around every corner and in every nook and cranny is a new surprise, just as Gucci continues to surprise the fashion world over 100 years aft er its founding. 3393 Peachtree Road NE, gucci.com
