Concept Stores — Page 3

What makes great concept stores?

This plate lists 610 shops in 83 countries. Paris has the most with 51, followed by Seoul with 19. Among these shops, 6 describe made-to-order work and 46 sell online, going by their own descriptions.

Ask what the shop makes itself: some concept stores sell their own label and others select other makers, so ask which you are looking at.

Ask whether the stock changes: selections often rotate, so ask when new pieces arrive if you are planning a return visit.

Ask whether it ships: ask whether pieces seen in the shop can be sent abroad or ordered online later.

A concept store can be several places under one roof. At 10 Corso Como in Milan the store, the café and the gallery each have their own contact, so ask the right one about opening times.
