Spanish fashion-comfort footwear brand Camper has added another link to its retail chain with the debut this month of a CamperLab store on the Bowery in New York’s trendy Lower East Side neighborhood.
While the more traditional Camper stores feature the entire range of contemporary, often edgy fashion-comfort looks, CamperLab focuses on more directional product under the Camper Together umbrella, a capsule collection designed by creative director Romain Kremer, a French fashion designer.
The 650-sq.-ft. store follows the opening last year of CamperLab shops in Paris and London. The New York site, a stark white space, allows the often avant-garde product to take center stage and includes a curated selection of Camper styles as well as CamperLab product.
