Cole Haan on Thursday reopened its flagship store at Westfield Century City in Los Angeles. The reopening is part of the mall’s $1 billion renovation that will include the expansion and addition of Nordstrom, Macy’s, and Bloomingdale’s.

 
Westfield Century City is currently undergoing renovations to add 422,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space. In addition to Cole Haan reopening at the mall, brands Zadig & Voltaire, Maje and Sandro will join the retail mix.

The Cole Haan flagship store is inspired by a residential home, boasting a natural color palette, herringbone wood floors and paneling, and a large scale mosaic pattern in the front foyer. The use of natural lighting is intermixed with a signature lighting for separate rooms to illuminate the antique brass and hot-rolled steel fixtures that showcase a full range of men’s and women’s footwear, apparel, handbags and accessories collections.

In addition, a custom, hand-drawn mural on the ceiling by artist Josh Cochran greets customers upon entry.

"Los Angeles is our second largest market in the United States and our customers have missed us during the remodel of the center," said Jack Boys, CEO of Cole Haan. "Our new store concept is a faithful departure from our original store at Century City--both familiar and new."
 
Prior to reopening at Westfield Century City, Cole Haan entered the UK market at Selfridges and Liberty, and opened its first store in Guatemala.
