Cartier has opened the doors to its newly renovated flagship boutique at The Dubai Mall. Allowing visitors to be immersed in a world of opulence, the boutique’s new design celebrates the culture and landscape of the region by drawing its inspiration from an oasis at the center of the desert, while never steering away from the maison‘s luxurious heritage. The design essentially pays homage to the extravagance derived from the arts and heritage of the Arab world. To mark the reopening, the boutique currently houses 30 iconic Cartier heritage pieces that will be exhibited to the public for the first time in the Middle East.
Here’s everything you need to know about the new Cartier boutique.
