“With the continued success of all the artist events that we’ve been doing here in New York,” said Abhi Janamanchi, brand director at le PÈRE, “tons of folks have been like, ‘You obviously have a pretty extensive artist network and there [are] so many musicians and whatnot based in Los Angeles — are you guys ever going to do anything out there?’”
“We just felt like it was the right time for us to have a hub out West given so much of our community and network being out there, and also just the fact that L.A. is such a big cultural center point, especially within the music scene,” he added.
The new store, built by Bond Architecture (the same firm behind the New York location), will combine retail space with an event venue, similar to the East Coast flagship. The store’s design draws inspiration from Southern California elements like skateparks and theaters, with a wooden facade and bleacher seating.
le PÈRE’s Los Angeles store will officially open on Tuesday.
Can’t wait!
