Bal Harbour Shops is poised to unveil a series of exclusive events and activations, offering unique experiences for its distinguished clientele. A key feature is the debut of the 'Access Suite,' an upscale lounge designed for select customers. This space will host invitation-only events, starting with a Valentino trunk show, which will present the latest collection directly from Milan. Following this, the suite will showcase 'Versace Wonderland' in mid-November, highlighting the Holiday collection. Likewise, from Thanksgiving through early January, Dolce & Gabbana will take over the third-floor balcony with its 'World of Dolce & Gabbana' display.
In addition, the 'Bal Harbour Shops Access Pop-Up' will "open in West Palm Beach’s CityPlace this November, featuring luxury brands like Balmain, Dolce & Gabbana, and Tiffany & Co; this immersive pop-up will host a variety of events, including charity luncheons, yoga sessions, designer dinners, and fashion shows."
