After 50 years in business the London specialty store has moved to a new site in Mayfair that embraces the past, and fast-forwards to the future.

One year after opening a women’s store on Rue de l’Odéon, The Place has expanded to men’s wear with a standalone shop next door.

The coming week will be another decisive one for Prime Minister Theresa May, who needs to ask the European Union for more time to sort things out.

Brand leaders gathered at London’s Wellcome Collection on June 27 to talk shop floors, customer seduction and the importance of savvy sales staff.

“Shops are a theater and a stage, the clothes are the props and the staff are the actors,” said Burstein.

Simon Burstein’s boutique concept store has opened an outpost at 59 Brook Street across from Claridge’s in London.

The Place London for Men showcases the new brand Leathersmith of London.
