Luxury cosmetics brand Aesop has opened its first store in China—on Shanghai’s Donping Road. This marks Natura &Co’s official entry into the Chinese Market.
The 3,230-square-foot store occupies a two-story building lined in brownstone where guests will find a host of experiences. The ceilings are fitted with locally-harvested dried bulrush installations handwoven by Chinese artist Didu Wu to evoke regional handicraft traditions, the central area is equipped with sleek basins made with Guizhou travertine stone, and vintage French furnishing and light fixtures add to the ambiance.
Private sinks away from the shopping area offer personalized treatments with a view of the garden planted with medicinal Chinese herbs. Also, a green-tiled “Sensorium” fragrance chamber is nested away in the corner, and the second-floor houses a rest and workshop area reserved for the store’s employees.
