Galeries Lafayette has opened the ''Shoe Box''

Galeries Lafayette, the largest department store in Dubai, is responding to the growing demand for footwear amongst GCC women, Expats, and Tourists by expanding its product offer and relocating it in a new area exclusively dedicated to footwear.

 The new concept and shoe destination, “Shoe Box’’, is located on the first floor of Galeries Lafayette. Open as of February 28th, 2016, the Shoe Box is spread over 500 square meters and offers more than 400 pairs of shoes from 65 premium, casual and high-end brands such as Burberry, Karl Lagerfeld, Fratelli Rossetti, Kenzo, Casadei, in addition to Nike, Converse, Adidas, and many more.  It will also become a hub for new, upcoming shoe brands such as Nadya Hassan, who will exclusively launch her collection in the Shoe Box by end March, and Poca Poca, already present in Galeries Lafayette with the successful womenswear line.

David Cairnduff, Store Director of Galeries Lafayette Dubai, says: “Shoe Box has been created to offer our discerning customer an eclectic and complete selection of women’s shoes.  Our objective is to introduce a destination for footwear in the UAE that’s based on a great line up of brands, edited styles ranging from casual to luxury and incorporates a wide variation of trends reflecting the fashion collections found in our Womenswear and Accessories areas.   The added interest of on-going pop-up concepts to launch new local and upcoming designers, is coherent with the market trend and will add to the interest of this unique space.  Shoe Box is the latest exciting part of a store renovation plan Galeries Lafayette is currently undergoing, which started in 2015 with the newly opened Kidswear, Womenswear and Lingerie departments and concludes at the end of the year with the launch of our new Cosmetics and Luxury Accessories areas on the Ground floor ”.

The modern concept of Shoe Box was designed by an Italian architectural firm: floodlit by natural light, it is characterized by high ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, mirrors, and sleek designs.
