BOTTEGA VENETA DEBUTS MADISON AVE TEMPORARY STORE, WILL OPEN MAISON IN 2017

Italian luxury brand Bottega Veneta has opened a new temporary store in New York at 650 Madison Avenue, which is slated to stay open until 2017 when the brand will open its third Maison in the world.

The new 4,510 square foot store, the former home of Crate & Barrel, offers a selection of products including women’s and men’s leather goods, ready-to-wear, shoes, jewelry, accessories and fragrance.

Bottega Veneta is now present in three locations in New York City, including its women’s boutique at 849 Madison Avenue and the recently opened Brookfield Place boutique. The temporary store is replacing the company’s flagship store at 699 Fifth Avenue, which closed in November.

The New York Maison that is set to open in mid-2017 on Madison Avenue will join the first opened Maison store in Milan and the second in Beverly Hills scheduled to open late spring 2016.
