One of the most influential boutique retail shops in history is closing its doors this December after twenty years. colette made this sudden announcement earlier today, citing founder Colette Rousseaux’s desire to focus her time elsewhere. Regarded as one of the trendiest stores in history, colette offered up a unique curation of brands by placing sports brands such as Nike alongside high-end luxury fashion labels; this elevated selection is now the norm for today’s bustling retail stores. colette will continue to operate normally on the in-store and e-commerce side until the official closing on December 20th, 2017.
