Housed in a historic two-story brownstone, the new shop offers a full range of the three John Varvatos menswear brands with a focus on Spring 2015 sportswear, leather and canvas footwear, and various travel accessories. Similar to the now-famed John Varvatos Bowery store in New York City, the interior design of the new retail space pays tribute to music, celebrating rock ‘n’ roll with a dark and moody vibe. Custom fender guitars, amps, and works from the biggest names in music photography adorn the walls, while the mezzanine holds a range of music memorabilia and collections for customers to browse through, as well as a perfect view of the concert stage for in-store performances.
The new John Varvatos store is open now at at 1500 Woodward Ave, Detroit, MI.
