The first French flagship store of Arket, H&M’s “one-stop destination for sustainable fashion for women, men and children,” opens Nov. 4 in a sleek Scandinavian design at 13 Rue des Archives, Le Marais, in Paris. The store covers 400 square meters on two floors and overlooks a courtyard with a terrace. Arket offers its ready-to-wear and home décor ranges made from 90 percent sustainable materials, including 18 percent recycled materials, and the new Paris store will also offer products from third-party brands. For example, the footwear section will offer shoes from Veja, New Balance and Nike. The Paris store is the 25th flagship Arket has opened in five years. The label plans to open three new stores in Helsinki, Shanghai and Stockholm in the next six months, the latter being its second store in the Swedish capital.
