Todd Snyder expanded his reach on the West Coast with the opening of a store in Venice, Calif., just in time for Memorial Day weekend.
The New York-based designer opened a 1,700-square-foot store at 1337 Abbot Kinney Boulevard on May 24 in a converted Craftsman bungalow. The store is painted in the brand’s “Snyder olive” color, accented by dark walnut trims and Craftsman doors. The interior sports an airy, open layout with an earth tone palette intended to evoke the natural landscape of the California coastline. The store features Tambor wood and natural unfinished modular fixtures and paneling, Roman clay wash plastered walls, brass and Carrara marble details and custom tile work by Clay.
Snyder partnered with London-based interior designer Rose Uniacke on custom upholstery and curtains throughout the space.
The store offers personalized shopping services as well as a vinyl record shop by Mr. Goodboy Record Carts and Light in the Attic Records. There is also an outdoor area furnished in partnership with Walter Lam by Brown Jordan Furniture where customers can enjoy an espresso while shopping.
This marks Snyder’s third store in California, following The Grove in Los Angeles and San Francisco’s Hayes Valley. Next up is the Marin Country Mart in Larkspur, Calif., at the end of June. All told, Snyder operates 16 stores around the U.S.
Snyder founded his eponymous brand in 2011 after stints at Polo Ralph Lauren, Old Navy and J.Crew and has built a $100 million business with his distinct take on modern American menswear.
