Tiffany & Co. opened on Wednesday a store in Seoul, Korea. The approximately 1,100 gross-square-foot boutique is located in the Shinsegae department store at 52-5 Chungmooro 1-ga, Jung-gu. With this new boutique, Tiffany & Co. has 11 authorized retail locations in Korea.
“As Seoul's first department store built in 1930, Shinsegae is an architectural treasure that, along with other buildings in the area, has been designated a historic landmark by the City of Seoul,” said Michelle Kim, managing director of Tiffany & Co. Korea.
“We are honored to be part of the store's re-opening excitement after a two-year renovation, and further honored to have a presence in this setting of culture and tradition, with its elegant square and beautiful fountain. The design of the TIFFANY & CO. boutique respects this great heritage that provides us with a unique and gracious environment to present our own heritage of quality and craftsmanship for which we are known throughout the world.”
The boutique combines architectural details of Tiffany's famous New York flagship store, including Makore wood and stainless steel framed showcases and vitrines.
