Dior (Paris) has opened a new, expansive store on London’s Sloane Street. Across the street from its former unit, the new store is roughly double the size of its previous location and occupies three units and three floors, Women’s Wear Daily reports. Building the store took two years to complete.

The store includes entire floors dedicated to menswear and womenswear, while the ground floor features footwear, accessories and fragrances. Displaying artwork from the likes of Selma Parlour, Peter Seal and Victoria Morton, the interior is mostly bathed in neutral tones. Versailles parquet flooring is accented by textured rugs featuring an exclusive color and pattern for Dior.

Located at 196 to 198 Sloane Street in Knightsbridge, the store opened to the public Friday, June 30.

She Wanted to Spend More Time with Her Kids. She Called Wilkerson.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
