Roger Vivier Returns To Its Roots

Roger Vivier[1] has opened a new Paris flagship at 20 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, which represents a key location for the accessories label. Close to the site of Roger Vivier’s[2] first atelier on rue Royale, which opened in 1937, the new boutique reinforces the brand’s historic connection to the neighborhood. Spanning over two floors, it is the largest Roger Vivier[3] boutique worldwide. The opening follows the recent inauguration of Maison Vivier[4] on rue de l’Université. Together, the two spaces define a complementary presence in Paris, with Maison Vivier[5] dedicated to creation, heritage and culture. Conceived as both a retail space and a reflection of Roger Vivier[6]’s aesthetic language, the new boutique brings together architecture, design and craftsmanship in a setting that balances precision with atmosphere. A monumental staircase and flooring in Pierre de la Croix-Huyart establishes a strong French identity from the outset, walls in cream and mother-of-pearl stucco, developed exclusively for the Maison by a Tuscan artisan, interact with the custom pink Pierre Frey wallpaper creating a subtle contrast of tones and textures.

The space is defined by a careful layering of materials—velvet, bouclé, suede and lacquered finishes—combined with polished and satin metals. Furnishings and decorative elements contribute to a richly layered yet coherent environment: pieces by Hervé Van der Straeten, B&B Italia and Knoll are set alongside Louis XIV and XVI antiques, modernist lighting and art. These include lithographs by Picasso and Poliakoff, a work by René Gruau, as well as original sketches and collages by Roger Vivier. A bespoke Volabile chandelier by Christel Sadde, interpreted by the artist with the silhouette of a Vivier shoe, anchors the entrance. Central to the client experience is a focus on Roger Vivier’s[7] bespoke services, expressed through the introduction of Atelier Vivier, the Maison’s made-to-order offering.
