Italian luxury menswear designer Stefano Ricci opened its luxurious doors to Miami on Wednesday, November 7th, at its newest flagship boutique in the illustrious Miami Design District. The boutique was over two years in the making, and the final product is certainly a masterpiece. From dark Californian briar-root wood finishes and ultra-luxe pietra serena stone flooring flown in all the way from Florence, the boutique embodies the brand’s 100-percent Italian identity.

With U.S. boutiques in Beverly Hills, New York and Las Vegas, Miami was the next logical step for the brand’s U.S. expansion. “It is an honor for us to have opened our boutique in Miami after two years of work,” stated Niccolò Ricci, CEO of Stefano Ricci S.p.A., “the American market has always been one of our strengths, and after opening in Beverly Hills and New York, as well as in two Las Vegas boutiques, we are finally present in Miami, a city that is experiencing a significant moment of growth and development.”

Miami is particularly important for Stefano Ricci’s expansion due to its close proximity to Latin America, as the brand is not currently present in that area yet. “Miami is a great location for us, because as we stated, the U.S. is so important for our business, but it also gives us easy access to customers in Latin America, who frequent Miami so often or have homes here,” said Filippo Ricci, Creative Director.

Also significant for the brand and its opening was the debut of Stefano Ricci’s latest collaboration with Arturo Fuente Cigars, launching the “OpusX – STEFANO RICCI“ cigar. This marks the first time that Stefano Ricci has ever collaborated with another brand, but it was a partnership that was created with much thought and unified collaboration on both ends that made perfect sense.

“To celebrate this inauguration, we wanted to present our new line of humidors, which ties us to Arturo Fuente, the leading company in the production of cigars. I thank Carlito Fuente for deciding to sign onto the beginning of this close collaboration here, in Miami,” said Filippo Ricci.

The store’s merchandise was specially curated for the market, featuring classic and casual menswear, sportswear, accessories, fine leather goods and precious cufflinks, as well as exclusive offerings from the SR Junior line and the SR HOME collection for a full lifestyle proposal all tailored to the Miami area.

To celebrate the new boutique debuting in Miami, Stefano Ricci celebrated a beautiful grand opening party with Miami’s VIP guests. After a chic cocktail reception at the boutique, guests continued their night with an elegant dinner at Casa Tua, which served as the perfect backdrop for the evening thanks to its unparalleled charm, character and delicious Northern Italian cuisine.
