The store houses the Maison Margiela ‘Replica’ perfume line and its beauty offering. With an all-white colour palette, the store has a minimalist, modern look.

Designer Martin Margiela launched his brand Maison Margiela in 1988 with a premium clothing line. The label has since diversified into jewellery, accessories, footwear, leather goods, and fragrances and is headquartered in Paris, France. 
 
L’Oréal International Distribution is part of beauty giant L’Oréal Group and works with distributors across the world to retail a number of labels including Maison Margiela.
