PARIS — Finnish design house Marimekko is set to open its first flagship in Paris, marking a milestone in the brand’s global expansion. The Paris launch continues Marimekko’s “key city” strategy, choosing a hub and building an ecosystem around it, to concentrate its brand-building efforts and customer engagement. Located at 120 Rue Vieille du Temple, the 1,500-square-foot flagship will house Marimekko’s full lifestyle offering, from ready-to-wear and accessories to homewares. The Paris flagship fits into a broader strategy to modernize the brand’s European retail footprint and expand into Central Europe from its Scandinavian base. The Marimekko flagship will open Oct. 24.
