SAND Debuts Flagship Store in Los Angeles
Michael and Sara Dovan, founders of the TRAFFIC Los Angeles stores, have partnered with Triluxe, the North American distributors of Sand and designers Lene and Soren Sand to create an impressive 2,500 square foot showcase for this designed-in-Copenhagen lifestyle brand. Fusing modern Scandinavian silhouettes with Italian sartorial elements, SAND delivers a provocative elegance. The Triluxe Fashion Group is best known for taking emerging brands and turning them into North American fashion phenomenons. A unique, multidisciplinary organization, Triluxe represents an impressive roster of leading designers and brands.
“Los Angeles shoppers got their first taste of Sand at our Traffic stores when we launched the brand in 2008,” said Michael Dovan. “From the outset, the response has been so strong that we decided to bring the full lifestyle collection for men and women by building a Sand flagship store right here on Sunset Plaza.”
Driven by passion, creativity and innovation, SAND is best known for impeccable quality and design. The collection features finely constructed tailoring and sportswear with signature details and a precise fit. The full ready-to-wear offering for men and women is complemented by an accessories collection that includes scarves, footwear and belts.
