American luxury brand Cole Haan, which is celebrating its 80th Anniversary this year, is all set to open its first flagship store in the Middle East, at the iconic Dubai Mall.

The 2,283-sq ft concept store evokes the look of a California modernist home and occupies prime location at Aquarium Walk at the mall.

Appealing to men and women, the Cole Haan store is fashioned with a distinct design aesthetic that speaks contemporary luxury.

The women’s area features feminine touches that include muted floral print sofas and wall coverings, while the men’s lounge showcases oversized suiting fabrics, dressing the space in houndstooth and plaid.

The Cole Haan signature weave design, seen in the brand’s handbag and footwear collections, is re-fabricated to add texture to furnishings and scale to graphic wall coverings.

“The opening of our new concept flagship location in Dubai during our 80th Anniversary represents a significant milestone for future expansion,” said James Seuss, chief executive officer of Cole Haan.

“Damas would like to congratulate Cole Haan on its 80 years of creating exceptionally designed and crafted products. The brand will find an instant following amongst those who understand what contemporary style and luxury are all about,” added Tawhid Abdullah, MD of Damas Investments, exclusive partner of Cole Haan in the UAE.-TradeArabia News Service
