Charles & Keith has launched its second flagship store in Hong Kong at Fashion Walk to mark its fifth anniversary and its 10th store in the territory.
The 150 square meters of boutique space reflect the brand’s sixth-generation store design concept. It has a minimalist look, with a simple color scheme and an exterior that contains illuminated panels, and is inspired by a blend of modern and traditional elements.
The FashionWalk store offers Charles & Keith’s Hong Kong-exclusive SS23 collection Strike a Chord, which features totes, top-handle bags, boxy bags, and phone pouches.
Last November, Charles & Keith extended its geographic reach into the Americas by opening its first store in Mexico.
