Merci Gap will open in NY from September 10th to October 4th
Gap Inc. (San Francisco) is teaming with Paris boutique Merci to open a month-long concept store next to the retailer’s New York flagship at 54th Street and 5th Avenue. The collaboration marks the first Merci boutique in the U.S. and will be inspired by the brand’s original Parisian boutique.
An eclectic combination of Merci's signature products and limited-edition Gap specialties will be sold at the store, with all profits after production costs going to various children's charities.
"I'm a great admirer of the Merci philosophy, combining style and simplicity with doing good and supporting the under-served communities,” says Marka Hansen, president, Gap North America. “So I'm delighted to be able to offer a platform to introduce Merci to our customers in America."
