Italian fashion accessories brand Coccinelle has revealed a new minimalist store design, with Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport the first to launch the concept.

The space, located near the Schengen area, makes use of warm white hues accented by brushed brass furnishings. 

Cocchinelle’s signature pink features on distinctive lacquered furnishings. 

The store is said to welcome customers into a “relaxed” atmosphere for a “pleasant and memorable” shopping experience.

Coccinelle said the space “celebrates women” and their “joy for life” and “conviviality”. 

“With Fiumicino, we have achieved the evolution of the current format that blends materials, shapes and colours with a perfect balance to express the femininity of the brand and its contemporary take,” a spokesperson said in a statement. 

Coccinelle’s global footprint spans 120 stores and 1,300 points of sale. These include department stores and multi-brand shops. It is present in travel retail locations in 44 countries across 118 points of sale.
