Experience Marc Jacobs' Mind
BOOKMARC offers a curated selection of art, music, and culture books, serving as a source of inspiration for designer Marc Jacobs himself. The collection ranges from rare vintage books to original stationery, tote bags, and accessories. Since its first store opened in New York in September 2010, BOOKMARC has expanded to Los Angeles, London, and Paris, generating global buzz with book signing events featuring celebrities like Kate Moss, Beck, The Kills, and Pharrell Williams.
This first Asian store promises a deep and carefully selected range that will captivate not only Marc Jacobs fans but also book lovers. It will also carry Japanese books. Located diagonally opposite the Marc by Marc Jacobs Harajuku store, just off the bustling main street of Omotesando, the store's modern, minimalist design creates a tranquil space filled with natural light for a relaxed shopping experience. The store design was conceived by Stefan Jaklitsch.
Coinciding with the opening of BOOKMARC, the brand's menswear line, Marc by Marc Jacobs Men's, will also debut its first standalone store in Japan on the basement floor.
