Balenciaga Opens Its Largest Flagship Store in Saudi Arabia

Balenciaga has officially opened its largest flagship store in Saudi Arabia at Solitaire, Riyadh, a luxury shopping destination home to the world’s top brands. This marks the house’s third boutique in the country, spanning 483 square meters.

The store reflects Balenciaga’s signature edge, offering ready-to-wear, accessories, eyewear, jewelry, and region-exclusive pieces. A private VIC (Very Important Customer) area, concealed behind heavy curtains, provides a more intimate setting for personal styling and shopping appointments.

Staying true to Balenciaga’s Raw Architecture concept, the boutique features an industrial aesthetic with weathered concrete walls, aluminum displays, and LED lighting, contrasting with the mall’s polished surroundings. Grey velvet curtains and leather seating introduce texture, while the layout is curated to enhance the experience of exploring the collections. Sustainability is also a focus, with the design minimizing raw material usage.
