ETRO’S EXPANSION: Etro is expanding its store footprint.

The Italian fashion company has opened its first monobrand boutique in Monte Carlo, positioned on the Metropole Shopping.

As well as, the brand has unveiled a newly restyled shop-in-shop at Rinascente in Milan and a corner on Harrods’ first floor in London.

The brand new spaces were decorated in sync with the brand, with walnut wood and champagne-finished metal characterizing the artisanal furnishings entirely made in Italy, as is the woven carpet in agave and metal. Resin and concrete are a few of the primary elements, along with the paisley-patterned wallpaper — a reference to Etro’s signature motif, and soft upholstered seats.

The brand new boutique in Monte Carlo will carry Etro’s women’s and men’s ready-to-wear collections, while the curated selections for Rinascente and Harrods will exclusively feature women’s designs. The brand new locations in Monte Carlo and Milan were designed in collaboration with the multidisciplinary design studio Thirtyone.

Etro’s collections are designed by creative director Marco De Vincenzo, who joined the brand in June last 12 months. In May, the Italian fashion house signed a licensing agreement with manufacturing company Simonetta for the event and production of the Etro Kids line, which is about to incorporate newborn, baby and junior collections. In January, De Vincenzo unveiled his first men’s collection for the brand, and in April, his first home and interiors collection, during Salone del Mobile, which included a tie-up with Latest York-based artist Amy Lincoln.

In June, Etro and Safilo Group inked a 10-year licensing agreement for the design, manufacturing and distribution of eyewear collections. The primary sun and optical collection will bow for spring 2024.

Etro relies on a worldwide store network that comprises greater than 130 boutiques everywhere in the world.

The brand is widely known for its signature paisley motif, daring patterns inspired by travel, and precious fabrics. The corporate was founded in 1968 as a textile firm. Within the ‘80s, it expanded into men’s and girls’s ready-to-wear collections, accessories, beauty, fragrances and residential goods.
