CHIARA BONI LA PETITE ROBE PLANS TO OPEN FIRST U.S. STORE IN LOS ANGELES

Ten years after Chiara Boni La Petite Robe was created, the company is gearing up to open its first U.S. store in Los Angeles next month.

The Italian ready-to-wear label started its expansion in 2010 and is counting on the new Melrose Avenue location to further fuel sales. The 860-square-foot boutique at 8470 Melrose Place will be the third for Chiara Boni La Petite Robe, which also has outposts in Milan and Rome.

The full assortment will be offered, including dresses, separates, eveningwear, jumpsuits, swimwear and accessories. In Los Angeles, the company will be near such stores as Oscar de la Renta, Bottega Veneta, Isabel Marant and Chloé.
