Internationally-renowned luxury lifestyle and shoe brand Romero+McPaul will celebrate the opening of its first
boutique in the United States at 8627
Melrose Ave. in West Hollywood, Calif. on Thursday,
Aug. 9.
This is the brand’s fifth
brick-and-mortar location, following the success of storefronts in Mexico and
Colombia and robust global online sales. The intimate
600-square-foot space features décor that illustrates the brand’s core
inspirations: royalty, sailing and the Ivy League. Founded in Mexico City in
2012 by Hernán Junco and Raul González, Romero+McPaul has gained worldwide
acclaim for its luxurious, couture shoes, particularly its iconic velvet
slippers. Since its launch, the brand has been featured in international
editions of GQ, Vanity Fair, Forbes and Marie Claire, among others.
Romero+McPaul’s
collection includes a full line of shoes, including men’s velvet slippers,
Chelsea boots, Italian loafers and sneakers; T-shirts; bow-ties; and swimwear;
as well as women’s velvet slippers, sneakers and loafers. Each of the brand’s
products is handmade by premium shoemakers in England, Italy, Spain, Portugal
and Belgium.
With crests, custom
artwork and expressions such as ‘après ski’ and ‘Beverly Hills,’ Romero+McPaul’s
velvet slippers have been widely popular and sought after by celebrities,
professional athletes and jetsetters alike. The bespoke collection of slippers
customized with monograms, personalized letters and embroidery have caught the
attention of Luis Miguel, Julio Iglesias and Jean Paul Gaultier, among others,
who have worn custom slippers created just for them.
To celebrate the grand
opening, Romero+McPaul will host a pair of grand opening events. The first, a
ribbon cutting and invitation-only event, will take place on Thursday, Aug. 9
from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Romero+McPaul will also host a grand opening shopping day on
Saturday, Aug. 11, where shoppers will receive 20 percent off all purchases.
The West Hollywood location is open
Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Sunday from noon until 6
p.m. More information about Romero+McPaul may be found online at
