The Chalhoub Group, the leading partner for luxury across the Middle East, celebrates the first anniversary of its Level Shoe District, the world’s largest luxury shoe store.
Located at the heart of the iconic Dubai Mall, the 96,000 square feet concept store presents an expertly curated selection of footwear by world renowned designers and word-of-mouth artisans with styles from contemporary to classic to cater to every palate.
40 international boutiques, more than 300 brands, 15,000 options and 300,000 pairs of shoes in stock (600 pairs are sold on average every day) ensure that the store remains at the forefront of fashion. Its success is proved by 500,000 visitors a month, with a turnover generated by 30% sales on men, 70% sales on woman.
Adding to its exceptional offering, the shoe emporium presently showcases over 100 brands that are regionally exclusive to Level Shoe District and frequent collaborations with both established and emerging brands. It is classified into four distinctive multibrand areas, each of which is bestowed with its own unique identity: across Women’s Designer, a clutch of the world’s most prestigious names is elegantly displayed in a boudoir ambience; Women’s Contemporary presents the niche, the emerging and the word-of-mouth in a suitably seductive setting, sultry lighting offsetting each style; Men’s takes a more masculine approach, with a round up of the industry’s leading designers displayed with sophistication and precision, while Trends bristles with energy, an upbeat soundtrack and colourful atmosphere reflecting its dynamic wares that include sneakers and designer collaborations.
