New York—Mikimoto opened its new flagship boutique in New York City, betting big on the city’s retail outlook amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The cultured pearl purveyor moved two doors down from its former boutique on Fifth Avenue, settling into a two-story, 3,500 square foot space.
Mikimoto is in good company, located near fellow jewelers like Tiffany & Co. and Bulgari.
The store is inspired by the brand’s global flagship in Japan, complementing its pearl-centric design with a New York seascape theme.
