Van Cleef & Arpels opens its latest flagship, located on Toronto’s Bloor Street. The 2,500 square-foot boutique marks a major milestone in the French Maison’s longstanding relationship with Canada, as it is the first Flagship Van Cleef & Arpels has opened in the country.
This enchanting boutique consists of two large retail floors, a private salon and a unique special events room. Two hand-crafted, French-made glass chandeliers illuminate the space, as well as intricately paneled walls. A private salon allows clients to discover the Maison’s creations in comfort and privacy. The events room consists of custom fabric walls depicting a floral motif and an elegant oval shaped Veronese style chandelier is encased by a gold leaf ceiling in the center of the space. Each of the rooms offers an intimate atmosphere and experience.
The boutique showcases iconic and new creations alike, including the timeless Snowflake collection, alongside recent Perlée and Alhambra creations as well as the new Fleurette collection.
Drawing its origin from the creative history of Van Cleef & Arpels, the Fleurette collection motif shines with seven round diamonds that form a delicate corolla. For the first time in the history of the Fleurette collection, the motif is accentuated through a contrast between rose gold and diamonds. The lines of the creations take shape thanks to the color of the metal, which gently draws attention to the radiance of the precious stones. Enhanced by meticulous openwork, setting, and polishing, this new combination of materials amplifies the diamonds’ fires and gives the pieces a more graphic style. Composed of seven round stones brought together in a scintillating corolla, this emblematic motif of Van Cleef & Arpels’ jewelry shines in a quartet imbued with elegant simplicity. The stones are set in such a way as to diffuse a luminous halo across the skin, giving the flower a subtle refinement.
