While out in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending the re-opening party for Anthropologie’s store in The Grove. I’d been to the store once before and though I hadn’t found it lacking I must say that the place is just gorgeous now. They’ve really taken advantage of the high ceilings and generous wall space to create an open, airy, forest-like store filled with consumer delights.
The party was open to the public and much more laid-back than the affairs in New York City that I’m used to. I liked the easy-going feeling of it all. The products varied somewhat from my home stores with more emphasis on beachy and outdoors here as opposed to urban and confined like I’m used to. But overall it was still clearly an Anthropologie, with racks and installations in a meandering path that found Carol, Kathryn and I wandering the store for the better part of an hour.
Below are some of the photos I took with a slideshow at the end. LA-area ladies, what do you think of the redesign?
