Jimmy Choo has opened its third store in Miami.
Located at 165 NE 41st St. in the city’s Design District neighborhood, the boutique offers the company’s women’s collection of shoes and handbags, as well as eyewear, small leather goods, soft accessories, fragrance, jewelry and a special selection of pieces from the brand’s bridal collection. An exclusive capsule featuring the Claressa platform, the Cycas 95 knee boot and the Avenue Mini Shoulder bag will also be available in honor of the new store.
According to the Capri Holdings-owned luxury shoe and accessories brand, the new Design District store also offers its made-to-order service, which invites customers to create their dream shoe or handbag. A curated suite of the brand’s signature styles can be custom made in a myriad of colors, textures and finishes, while personalization and bespoke touches allow customers to build truly one-of-a-kind pieces, the company added.

As for the store’s design, the shop nods to the art deco roots of Miami with several curved architectural details. The exterior features a three-story white plaster façade with travertine accents while inside, green fluted tiles are used on fixtures with verdant tropical plants indigenous to South Florida juxtaposed against the white oak floors and ceilings. The interior aesthetic is further accented with custom furniture and decorative objects including a statement sofa by Pierre Paulin.
“We are thrilled to be opening our third boutique in Miami, and in one of the most important shopping destinations globally,” Hannah Colman, chief executive officer of Jimmy Choo, said in a statement. “The design reflects Miami’s strong visual identity melded with the inherent glamour and luxury Jimmy Choo is known for.”
This opening comes as Jimmy Choo’s parent company — which is preparing to fend off a regulatory challenge to its $8.5 billion deal to be sold to Tapestry Inc. — continues to struggle on the business front.
Earlier this month, Capri Holdings reported net losses for the first quarter totaled $14 million, or 11 cents a share, down from earnings of $48 million, or 41 cents, a year earlier. At Jimmy Choo, revenue fell 5.5 percent to $173 million in the period, producing operating income of $4 million.
