Yu Mei Wellington

Located in the landmark Mibar Building on Victoria Street, Yu Mei Wellington establishes the leather goods brand as leading retail destination in the capital and flagship for the brand’s broadening bag, wallet, and accessory collections.

Using simple, natural materials, and a neutral palette, the space is confident but subtle while contributing to a sense of tactile luxury speaking strongly to the Yu Mei customer.

The Wellington flagship offers customers a sophisticated retail experience and develops on a lounge concept that has become central to Yu Mei's inclusive but high-end aesthetic.

The space reconfigures the existing compact floor area creating a large point of sale and full-length brass display shelves delineating the walls. The interior palette is based around a combination of simple geometric forms punctuated by blocks of expressive materiality – polished concrete, Oak, Marble, and natural brass finishes combine to create a luxuriant but refined atmosphere
