Dolce Vita is expanding its retail footprint once again with the opening of its first-ever mall store in the U.S.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Located inside the Aventura Mall in Miami, Fla., the 802-sq.-ft. store officially opened its doors in November and marks the footwear brand\u2019s debut in Florida. The new shop offers Dolce Vita\u2019s full range of footwear and accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Designed by Aine Naughton, the company noted that the new Aventura store reflects Dolce Vita\u2019s \u201cless is more\u201d approach, with architecture that features organic curves, neutral tones, and layered textures.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to introduce our brand to a vibrant new community in one of the region’s most iconic destinations,\u201d Kerry Norlin, president of Dolce Vita, told FN. \u201cThe Aventura store is a natural extension of our retail identity, creating a luxe, curated experience tailored to South Florida\u2019s energy and lifestyle.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Steve Madden-owned label added that this opening is a key milestone in Dolce Vita\u2019s national expansion. Last year, the brand unveiled its first flagship store in New York City<\/a>. Set on the corner of Broadway and Broome St. in NYC\u2019s SoHo neighborhood, the flagship featured an open, single-level space in hues of brown and cream \u2013 \u00a0similar to the new Aventura location. The moment marked its second retail location in the U.S. at the time, following Dolce Vita\u2019s first store that opened in Los Angeles\u2019 Melrose Place in 2006.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Other openings have since taken place in Austin, Texas and Washington, D.C., as well as in Quebec, Canada.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This new store comes as parent company Steve Madden raised its full-year outlook last month after reporting sales and earnings for the third quarter of 2024<\/a>. Revenues in the period were $624.7 million, up 13 percent compared to the same quarter in 2023.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chairman and chief executive officer Edward Rosenfeld said in a statement in November that accessories and apparel sales, including strong performance in Steve Madden handbags, helped drive the solid results in the quarter. Contributions from the newly\u00a0acquired<\/a>\u00a0Almost Famous brand, which\u00a0Steve Madden\u00a0snapped up<\/a>\u00a0in October for $52 million, continued to bolster the apparel business.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rosenfeld also cited \u201crobust top line gains in international markets and direct-to-consumer channels.\u201d<\/p>\n
