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.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
