RRL STORES ON INSTAGRAM

I love Instagram, you have so many people out there who can look through your eyes.

Just type #RRL and you'll find these great pictures of Ralph's Double RL stores throughout the world.

It's amazing how they use visual merchandising in their stores, it lifts the product to the next level.

INSIDE THE RRL STORE, NEW YORK

It always makes me happy when I enter a RRL Store, breathing the brand by how it's displayed and how the staff is dressed. It makes me more happy when I don't see any staff and can take some pictures of the beautiful garments and displays.  I know these are still snapshots, but.....Enjoy!!

CHAD'S STORE VISIT - JACK SPADE, LONDON

Thursday March 29, 2012 the doors opened of the first Jack Spade Store in Europe, based @ Brewster Street, next to Stone Island and the Woolrich Store. Jack Spade launched their collection in an environment just like their stores in New York & Chicago. The collection is presented between props like old calculators, gnomes and salt & pepper sets like hamburgers. The first Jack Spade bag was sold to a hardware store in 1997. In 1999, Jack Spade opened the first store at 56 Greene Street, New York. The concept was travel bags, trench coats and general merchandise. It was modern haberdashery mixing found furniture, model rockets, vintage Playboy magazines and classic products: Levi's 501 jeans, Timex military watches, Lacoste tennis shirts and Mackintosh raincoats. Over time, Jack Spade took their reputation for well-made, functional and stylish products and applied it to clothing. Thanks to the Jack Spade team for letting me taking these pictures!

CHAD'S STORE VISIT - GANT RUGGER, LONDON

Gant Rugger opened it's doors on Beak Street a year or so ago.

 Inside it's more like a relaxed New York loft than a store: brick walls, cracked original tiling, exposed brass pipes and a concrete floor, complete with sleek Sixties furniture and vintage fixtures.

The store was already packed with new arrivals from the Pre-Fall collections, but also some items of the FW15 collections. Man I love that wind breaker with the waves.

CHALKBOARDS FROM SCHOOL TO STORE

What should I say most of us or some of us, started to learn in school from the blackboard on which the teacher showed us the most difficult mathematical problems like Einstein's theory. Later on it it was also used in restaurants to present the chef's special And now you see it more and more in stores. Chalkboards become a real visual merchandise tool.
