Loro Piana, Borrelli, John Lobb Coming to Atlanta!

Announced in the AJC for the Streets of Buckhead project. Not sure is Domenico Vacca is still coming or not.

Men's fashion is getting a bit more interesting around here with the above and the addition of Sid Mashburn.

Great news! Bring on the twice yearly sales!

So much luxury...not enough taste.

Damnit, we need all three of those stores in DC. Happy shopping.

Well hopefully the stores can help educate a few people.

Walk around Lenox mall for a half hour and ask yourself that question.

Chin up, old boy, or the artisans win.

I hear you. It's pretty bleek out there in baggy pants land.

Vacca is going to be in a tight spot...

NM has a stranglehold on Kiton in the city and Borrelli is going to be the lower priced cousin on the street. It will be interesting to see how Vacca spins its value proposition. Maybe these guys think that Atlanta has or will have a base of discerning customers that will be willing to shell out over $5,000 regularly on RTW. I just don't see it.

Agreed. I don't see it as well.

No Kiton? I assume all those are stand-alone stores? JL seems to be on an expansion mode opening up stores in the provinces.

The Hermes location looks pretty big in the renderings, wonder if they're going to close the one in Lenox.

Full list of commited retailers: AG, Borrelli, Bottega Veneta, Etro, Domenico Vacca, Hermes, Loro Piana, Optical Shops of Aspen, Oscar de la Renta, Vilebrequin.

At any rate, it's a good bump to the dismal shopping in Atlanta.

I'm VERY EXCITED! but all I can imagine is a world wind of comments like "800 dollars you gotta effin be kidding me, i aint payin for this ****".... the sales associates will have their hands full with all the sticker shock

4,000 sq. ft. and yes they will close the Lenox store.

Might have to look in to getting a job at one of these new places.
