Imagine a department store that ignites your senses. That's Printemps. Thanks to Sandy Hernandez, I stepped into their opening day magic, dodging a line that snaked down the block.
A Journey of Discovery:
This isn't your average retail space. It's a carefully curated adventure. Every corner, every detail, screams "thoughtful design." The playful layout, the hidden nooks – it's a breath of fresh air.
More Than Just Shopping:
Printemps understands the power of experience. From the rolling champagne cart to the promise of a delicious restaurant, it's a place to linger, to enjoy. And the staff? Individuality meets helpfulness, a rare and delightful combination.
The Death of Dull Retail:
At the same time that Printemps is opening, Macy's Retail Holdings, Inc. just closed the famous #Wanamakers store in Philadelphia. Department stores used to be place of fun and discovery. They were places the community went to learn about the latest in fashion and style from around the world. Lately, they've become, well, boring. They're not places of inspiration, you go there just to buy what you need.
This was a store that inspired. It was fun and playful. And it was beautiful. No doubt that we'll go back again in the future and see if they maintain their high level of design and experience.
Will the Magic Last?
I'm betting it will. Printemps isn't just a store; it's a statement.
