Bulgari has just opened a new boutique in Mexico City designed by renowned New York architect Peter Marino. Known for designing retail stores for high-end designers like Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Fendi, Marino blends his contemporary aesthetic with Bulgari’s sophisticated classical style. With its strong Italian design and attention to color and shape, Bulgari is one of the most popular luxury brands among watch collectors in Mexico and South America. The new store spans 575 square feet and is situated inside the Palacio del Hierro department store. It will carry the brand’s jewelry, watches, eyewear, and accessories.
