SouthPark Mall has added a new name to its growing list of exclusive retailers: Gucci, the renowned Italian fashion house, recently opened a 5,000-square-foot boutique in the space previously occupied by St. John, which moved to a new location in the mall. Until now, the nearest Gucci store was three hours away in Charleston, S.C. The luxury boutique will sell men’s and women’s shoes, handbags, luggage, watches, jewelry and eyewear in an elegant yet relaxed space designed to create a sense of “understated drama.” Marble polychrome inlays in the herringbone wood floor create a striking 3-D effect, while vintage Oriental rugs and soft velvet upholstery add texture and warmth. The store is located in Circle Court, across from Tiffany & Co. and diagonal from Louis Vuitton.

SouthPark Mall is located at 4400 Sharon Road. gucci.com
