Cole Haan Opens South Coast Plaza Store With New Design

Cole Haan chose South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, Calif., to open the first Cole Haan store on the West Coast that incorporates the label's new store design.

The Orange County outpost opened today, Oct. 13, and has the feel of an upscale residence filled with luxury merchandise such as footwear, apparel, handbags and accessories.

There is an all metal-and-glass storefront with a back-lit transom, custom lighting and millwork to showcase the various products. The neutral color tones give the store an air of both a traditional spot blended with a modern design aesthetic.
