London - Iconic Parisian store Colette is set to close its doors for good this December, after a twenty-year run. The one-of-a-kind concept store first opened its doors on 213 rue Saint-Honoré in March 1997. As Paris first leading fashion concept store, Colette rapidly becomes a leading force in the world of retail and is praised by many for its unique offering and shopping experience. A few months after Colette celebrates its 20th anniversary comes a sudden announcement: Colette will be closing down on December 20th.

"Until our last day, nothing will change," said the store in a statement. "Colette will continue to renew itself each week with exclusive collaborations and offerings, also available on our website colette.fr. We thank you for your support and see you soon at Colette--until December 20th!"
