Italian Store Opening First U.S. Flagship in Beverly Hills
Benvenuto, Battistoni.
The high-end Italian purveyor of luxury clothing for men and women is opening its first U.S. flagship in Beverly Hills when it opens its doors on March 16 at 9536 Wilshire Blvd.
The Italian brand started in Rome as a men’s shirt label in 1946 when Guglielmo Battistoni started out as a shirt maker in a secluded atelier located in Rome at 61A, Via Condotti.
The retailer is known for its sharply cut suits, luxurious accessories and expertly crafted shirts. Up until now, you could find the brand at Barneys New York.
The store's 6,500-square-foot interior was designed by Nicholas Haslan Ltd. and the architects were Emiliano Vitolo and Giulio Baiocco. It sounds like it will be very elegant and European with walnut, leather, bronze, and travertine stone and 17th-century ceiling frescoes
