Trina Turk Opens Store in Manhattan Beach

Los Angeles designer Trina Turk is hitting the retail trail again.

On Nov. 30, she opened her ninth U.S. store just a few blocks from the ocean in the upscale, seaside community of Manhattan Beach, Calif.

The creator of everything that makes you think of Palm Springs said the venue is perfect because the surf and resort culture has been such an influence on her brand.

The space, at 333 Manhattan Beach Blvd., has floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides and a modern, loft-like space. There are flexible floor fixtures to adjust the store’s layout.

Turk ventured into the retail world in 2002 when she opened her first boutique in Palm Springs. Then it was on to New York, Miami, Dallas and Atlanta as well as more California stores in Los Angeles, Newport Beach and Burlingame.

Currently, she is showing her Winter 2013 ready-to-wear collection in the store. But her Spring 2014 collection is around the corner.
