Challenge

As Ellen Tracy expanded its offerings and refreshed its brand direction, the company needed a flagship space that conveyed sophistication, warmth, and modernity.

The challenge was to design a store that balanced a sense of openness and light with intimate zones for showcasing collections — all while creating a memorable shopping experience that celebrated the brand’s heritage and commitment to quality.

Solution

The new boutique embraces a streamlined mid-century American-Modern aesthetic, combining sleek forms with rich, natural textures. Large unobstructed windows flood the space with light, while flowing white draperies create a soft, inviting veil along the store’s length. A dramatic travertine feature wall provides contrast, complemented by a carefully curated palette of materials: blond rift oak, Madagascar ebony, ribbon walnut, polished stainless steel, luminous brass, and dark oak flooring.

To enhance the residential ambiance, the space includes unique touches such as a gallery wall displaying historic Ellen Tracy images and original furniture by renowned designers like Paul McCobb, T. H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, and a Florence Knoll sofa covered in champagne cowhide. The result is a flagship boutique that feels both elevated and approachable, setting a new standard for the brand’s retail experience.
