Cartier has expanded its footprint with the latest opening of its inaugural West Coast airport boutique in Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
We proudly welcome the French luxury goods company in partnership with DFS Group Limited and its local Airport Certified Disadvantage Business Enterprise (ACDBE) partners, Bettye Dixon, Concourse Concessions President; Louie Soto, American Innovative Retailers President; and Chih Hsing Pei, Jetway Express President.
The LAX boutique, featuring unique interior design elements, stands out in the sophisticated retail setting and invites shoppers to discover the Maison’s savoir-faire with a curated collection of signature jewelry, timepieces, fragrances, and leather goods.
“Bringing an iconic brand like Cartier to Tom Bradley International Terminal for the first time is a significant milestone at Los Angeles International Airport,” said Maral Matossian, URW Vice President, LAX. “This boutique is elevating the luxury airport retail experience—from the gorgeous array of goods to the craftsmanship and design of the store. The sophistication of this offering is a perfect fit for the type of shopping experience our guests seek.”
The boutique at LAX uniquely integrates the vibrant spirit of L.A. with Cartier’s iconic French heritage. The exterior, adorned with a patterned champagne gold panel, draws inspiration from the shapes of waves that mirror California’s coastal charm, with the pattern extending to the interior. Inside, design elements subtly nod to the lively streets and beachfront that define L.A.: a color palette blending sandy neutrals, oceanic blues, and radiant sunset shades alongside Cartier’s iconic champagne tones. Travelers are welcomed inside the boutique with a focal mural that artfully merges the Maison’s iconic panther, a symbol and source of inspiration, with elements drawn from the celebrated and distinctive architectural landscape of L.A. The space evokes the spirit of L.A., where clients can engage with art and culture while exploring Cartier’s universe of creativity and curiosity.
The boutique reflects the new vision of Cartier for airport boutiques, where the highly curated spaces express the creativity and elegance of the Maison while emphasizing sustainability, including working toward achieving LEED certification.
DFS Group also recently opened House of Time in TBIT offering a selection of watches and jewelry.
