ARKET opens two flagship stores in Milan and Barcelona
Located in the Medelan Building on Piazza Cordusio, the new store (004042-940) opened in Milan on 2 July. With a total area of 1,000 square metres, the store spans the ground and second floors of the historic Medelan Building, inaugurated in 1902, which until now has served as the headquarters of Credito Italiano bank. The space combines ARKET’s signature monochrome palette of soft greys and natural materials – carrying the brand’s full assortment of ready-to-wear and accessories for women and men, childrenswear, body care, and interior design.
We are beyond excited to finally have opened our very first ARKET location in Italy with this beautiful flagship store in the centre of Milan. We look forward to meeting our design-savvy local customers in person and inviting them to explore our vision of a more beautiful everyday life.
