INFINIMENT COTY PARIS: THE MUST-SEE POP-UP

16 July 2024 by Flora

Infiniment Coty Paris, the luxury fragrance brand, opened its first ephemeral boutique in the Marais district last March.


In 1904, the precursor of modern perfume industry, François Coty, created his first official fragrance: La Rose Jacqueminot. 120 years later, Coty Group CEO Sue Nabi and Nicolas Vu are paying tribute to the brand by opening their first Parisian boutique.

The Lemens & Partners team set out to discover this immersive pop-up in the heart of the Marais district. It was through a conceptual and innovative boutique that we were able to enjoy a sensory experience.

The boutique welcomes its visitors with a field of large white flowers with a variety of light scents. From left to right, the curious can appreciate the scent of each flower by approaching the pistils.



The experience continues in the back store, where walls are painted in a resplendent Matisse blue, highlighting the bottles and the artcycling works that the brand promotes. This contemporary artistic movement aims to transform recycled materials into innovative and engaging works of art. At Infiniment Coty, it’s their bottles that they’ve reused by asking artists from the 1-54 African Contemporary Art Fair to upcycle them.



The brand also stands out due to the molecule called “Aura”. Molecular Aura – made from an organic molecule derived from sugar – their proprietary technology, extends the signature of each fragrance for up to 30 hours. A real innovation in haute parfumerie.


5 Rue des Blancs Manteaux, 75004 Paris
Shop open Tuesday to Sunday
11am to 7pm.

CAFÉ DE LA ROSE LANCÔME, WHERE BEAUTY MEETS PÂTISSERIE

16 July 2024 by Flora

On the terrace or at the café counter, this summer Lancôme invites you to taste their delicious pastries made by Nina Métayer in their Café de la Rose on the Champs Elysées!


Out of curiosity and craving something sweet, the Lemens & Partners team visited Lancôme’s brand new concept on the Champs Elysées. The beauty house surprised us this time with a collaboration with pastry chef Nina Métayer, offering a menu of 4 pastries, each as tasty as the next.



In homage to the Domaine de la Rose (an estate dedicated to Lancôme’s olfactory heritage in Grasse), the renowned brand welcomes you to an entirely pink café in the heart of their Paris flagship.

Lancôme always puts the well-being of its visitors first. As well as guiding them and offering them a range of beauty and skincare products on a daily basis, today the brand takes care of its visitors by inviting them to relax for a gourmet moment, on their sunny terrace or between the roses in the café.

Whether it’s Agora rose cheesecake, lemon meringue pie or chocolate sablé, Nina Métayer’s menu is inspired by the brand’s floral DNA. The concept offers a unique sensory experience, combining gourmet delights with beauty and well-being, as you can sample their different products while enjoying a coffee and a pastry.



A concept that once again demonstrates the ability of luxury brands to evolve their creativity in response to consumers who are always on the lookout for innovative experiences.


52 avenue des Champs-Elysées, 75008 Paris
Open 7 days a week from March to December
Terrace open 5 days a week

HAVAIANAS OPENS UP A POP-UP SHOP ON CHAMPS-ELYSÉES

16 July 2024 by Flora

Known the world over for its colourful rubber flip-flops, Brazilian brand Havaianas is taking to the Champs-Elysées for the summer.



A sculpture made of flip-flops representing the sun, a giant screen showing images of Copacabana and a room for the season’s top collection… Havaianas is planning to take visitors on a journey through its new pop-up with a beach atmosphere.

Designed by StudioXag, this pop-up welcomes shoppers in a very summery atmosphere. With jute ropes, bamboo, mini deckchairs and palm trees, Havaianas has brought “Brazilian beaches to Parisian streets” – StudioXag.


Creating a colourful oasis, reminiscent of effortless Brazilian beach clubs, we supported Havaianas in elevating their heritage in-store for a brand new pop-up along the Champs-Elysées

StudioXag

The shop’s natural tones and textures deliberately highlight the different colours of flip-flops to dress up the space. The aim of this collaboration between the studio and the brand is to elevate Havaianas through an eco-responsible, immersive and relaxing boutique.

Firstly, eco-responsible because the boutique was created by a B Corp-certified studio. Immersive secondly, thanks to a room designed specifically to showcase capsule collections with brand such as Farm Rio, Dolce & Gabbana and their own capsule.

Lastly, a relaxing area where visitors can unwind on comfortable mattresses and cushions, with a view of Brazilian beaches projected on the big screen.



33 avenue des Champs-Élysées
Open Monday to Sunday
10am to 9pm – until 31 August.

GEBR. HEINEMANN’S RETAIL TOUR IN LONDON

4 June 2024 by Flora

It was the perfect example of how a good collaboration can lead to a unique experience that
both sides still look back on fondly today: with Gebr. Heinemann, we designed and realized
an extraordinary retail trend tour through London.



The mission of Gebr. Heinemann is to inspire travelers with unforgettable shopping experiences,
turning travel time into valuable time. The travel retailer knows that trends and innovations play
an important role in this. It embraces inspiration, seeks out new experiences and also wanted to
share this spirit with business partners from Europe and Africa – a task in which we were very
happy to work with them.


Together, we created a personalized two-day retail tour that not only invited to discover and be
amazed, but also to intensify relationships. We visited the most innovative, inspiring and
spectacular retail locations in London, powered by imagination, curiosity and creativity, met a
selection of industry experts and took away many ideas for future business opportunities.



We look back on a great project with Gebr. Heinemann and are also delighted to have been
able to gain insights into the exciting business of travel retail.

LONDON; ONE OF THE MOST DYNAMIC DESTINATION FOR A RETAIL TOUR

23 May 2024 by Flora

London is still one of the world’s most dynamic destinations, and this is largely due to the city’s ability to adapt rapidly to changing user/customer demands.


Brexit and the pandemic have pushed changes faster and further than anywhere else in the world. The value of space is being rethought, and alternative mixed use of space is the avenue to explore. These new spaces are the result of how professional and personal life needs overlap and intertwine to make greater sense for the urban dweller of today. Department stores such as John Lewis are considering repurposing some of their retail space to rent it as workspace, another is looking to convert floors to welcome guests in their own hotel! On a larger scale, investment in whole new areas has seen the development of centres such as Kings Cross and very recently around the Battersea Power Station.


The British consumer is wholly demanding, agile, connected, and open to new experiences. Concerned for the environment while aware of the unstable economic market the Brits remain ready to challenge classic concepts, while demanding transparency and authenticity. They are no longer as loyal as previously. They wish to be entertained, plus they want to meet new people and so create communities.



The rise of entertainment is changing retail store formats. ‘Lego isn’t concerned where people buy, they want customers to enjoy playing with the bricks in store, and whether they buy there, or later online, isn’t an issue for them,’ says CBRE Global Investors’ Caitriona Hunter. ‘It’s all about the experience and community.’


This interest stretches to food and beverage, and even in this somewhat pessimistic market, we can see the investment in eating and drinking, the demand for choice, the need to meet up with friends and family are key focuses for spending.

Food : L’incontournable atout retail

25 September 2019 by yallahweb

Ce n’est un secret pour personne, la nourriture réunit et est un incroyable vecteur de plaisir ! A deux ou à plusieurs, c’est l’occasion de partager un moment collectif et festif.
Et ça les marques l’ont bien compris. Depuis plusieurs années les enseignes cherchent à rassembler et faire de leurs lieux physiques des points de rencontres proposant diverses expériences pour leurs clients. Selon une étude menée par Havas Paris Opinion Way, 66% des moins de 35 ans souhaitent des magasins dans lesquels ils peuvent faire autre chose qu’acheter.

Le food s’inscrit parfaitement dans ces nouveaux moyens de consommation et  s’intègre de plus en plus dans le parcours d’achat, à l’image de Made.com ou de Maison Sarah Lavoine. Ces deux institutions du design et de la vente de meubles et d’objets de décoration ont toutes les deux intégré un coffee shop ou un pôle food à leurs enseignes.
Une occasion rêvée pour les marques de prolonger l’expérience et même de générer du trafic, de proposer à leurs clients un service dont ils se souviendront  et plus largement de créer un lieu de vie. Comme le souligne Estelle Mège, Directrice Générale Adjointe Retail Architecture chez W&Cie, dans la conférence « L’Ecole de la marque », le food est un véritable « cheval de Troie pour provoquer du trafic ».

Il s’agit également de proposer une expérience globale aux consommateurs. Le visiteur qui franchit la porte du magasin est plus qu’un simple client, c’est une personne avec qui on va échanger, qui va prendre le temps de consommer autre chose que les produits de la marque, boire un café ou même déjeuner. Intégrer le food à ses magasins physiques c’est réinstaurer de la relation humaine et de l’échange dans l’acte d’achat, mais aussi stimuler les sens !

De nombreuses marques avec une grande communauté ont développé des offres multiservice et food très abouties. C’est notamment le cas dans le monde du sport, très fédérateur.
A Londres, les enseignes Lululemon et Sweaty Betty sont d’incroyables lieux de vie où chacun peut venir profiter de cours de sport, acheter des produits de la marque, mais aussi se restaurer sur place et échanger avec des personnes qui partagent des valeurs communes. Le monde des passionnés de vélo l’a parfaitement compris. Chez Rapha Cylce à Londres ou Jour de vélo à Paris, en plus d’un espace de vente et de réparation on peut prendre le temps de boire son café et d’échanger avec des gens qui ont la même passion. C’est l’occasion de fidéliser et d’engager sa communauté.  

La mode n’est pas en reste et même les petits espaces indépendant ont emboité le pas. La Textilerie est un atelier de couture basé à Paris qui propose à la fois des ateliers de couture, la vente de produits de seconde main, la location de machines à coudre et la Boutique – Café : lieu de vente proposant des tissus et fournitures écologiques ainsi que des produits de créateurs éco responsables, et un comptoir de café où les habitants du quartier, personnes de passage et usagers de l’atelier viennent se retrouver.

Avec l’offre digitale que proposent désormais les marques il est de plus en plus difficile de faire venir les gens en magasin.
Intégrer le food à sa stratégie retail, c’est mettre en avant la notion de « slow retail », apporter aux consommateurs le luxe de prendre son temps et pour les marques la possibilité de diffuser une expérience sur un plus long moment, donc plus marquant.
Ce temps et cet espace dédié sont des atouts plus que positifs dans ce climat de méfiance si les marques savent les optimiser.
