Kith returns to its origins with the unveiling of its inaugural women-exclusive flagship store at 644 Broadway, the same location where the first Kith flagship opened in Manhattan in 2011. The store offers a selection of women’s in-house and multi-brand ready-to-wear apparel, accessories, and footwear. In partnership with the New York-based flower and plant shop, PlantShed, customers can also enjoy a unique in-store cafe and a charming greenery area. This lounge space serves light refreshments, and beverages, and offers custom floral arrangements for purchase.

The flagship is located in the historic landmark building that was previously the Manhattan Savings Institute Bank. The exterior maintains its original aesthetic with red sandstone and brick, with iron gates at the entrance. Fieg has designed the store with signature elements of the brand’s retail concept, adjusted with unique details that speak to its bespoke setting. The ambiance exudes modern elegance with its warm and calming aura, constructed with materials like Venetian Plaster, Travertine, and Rosa Aurora.

To celebrate the opening of the store, they launched the Kith Women Winter Monogram 2023 — an array of outerwear, shirting, pants, accessories, and more that highlight the seasonal Kith Monogram design. The collection is available for purchase at the new store, additional Kith shops, and online.
The new flagship is now open for visitors at 644 Broadway, New York, NY 10012.
