Fresh on the heels of a Southern Calif. flagship opening, Dior Beauty is already looking at a new market for brick-and-mortar.
The company opened a new boutique at Brickell City Centre in Miami Tuesday, which boasts the brand’s fragrance, makeup and skin care offerings.
“The new boutique is anchored by a fragrance discovery experience inspired by the couturier-perfumer’s atelier and designed by Dior perfume creation director Francis Kurkdjian,” Dior said in a statement, noting the focus is on the brand’s luxury range of scents, La Collection Privé. Accessories including fragrance trunks, cases, caps, and a few fashion accessories like sunglasses, jewelry and scarves will also be merchandised alongside longtime heroes Miss Dior, J’Adore, Dior Sauvage and Dior Homme.
It’s part of a larger push toward brick-and-mortar stores, with Dior opening a similar boutique in New York’s SoHo neighborhood in late 2024 and the flagship in Costa Mesa, Calif. in April. “We have a very clear vision for building a network of flagship boutiques for Parfums Christian Dior across North America,” Charlotte Holman-Ros, president of Christian Dior Parfums in North America, told WWD at the time. “We believe it’s an opportunity to speak to the international high luxury clientele, who’s already in the world of Dior, and really bringing them into the world of Dior fragrances, beauty and services.”
The Miami outpost will also have some of what the brand calls its “exceptional pieces,” including Les Récoltes Majeures and Rouge Premier Mall d’Exception, which are ultra-luxury fragrance and makeup offerings, respectively.
Also on the makeup front, the brand’s Rouge Dior, Dior Forever and Dior Backstage ranges will join “looks of the season and the products that inspired them,” Dior said.
The skin care range will run the gamut from Dior Capture, Dior Prestige and L’Or de Vie lines.
