Kith’s Next Store Opening Will Be in Malibu

Kith is coming to Malibu.

The New York-based retailer confirmed on Instagram on Saturday that it will open its next store in Malibu very soon.

“We are proud to announce the opening of our newest flagship store – Kith Malibu,” the company wrote in an Instagram post. “To commemorate this new flagship, we created a special capsule of apparel and accessories, inspired by the city of Malibu and our new flagship. This offering includes a hoodie, crewneck and range of tees as well as a 6-panel cap.”

Kith added in the caption that this capsule serves as a preview of its new flagship and will be available this Monday exclusively on Kith.com, EU.Kith.com and the Kith App.

While specific opening details and locations are not confirmed, a source told FN that the new store will be located in a retail development near Malibu Country Mart.

This new opening marks the third Los Angeles area store for the Brooklyn-based company, which has an outpost inside of Fred Segal’s Sunset Blvd. location as well as a standalone flagship store in Beverly Hills.

Kith has been on a store opening streak in the past year, as part of a robust retail strategy. Earlier this month, Kith opened the doors to a new Kith Kids flagship in Dumbo, Brooklyn. This marked the second kids’ concept to open and is the third Kith store in Brooklyn, the New York borough where the company got its start.

In May, Kith entered the South Korean market with a four-story store, which included a Kith Treats bar and a Sadelle’s restaurant.

Other recent openings included Kith’s first women’s standalone store in New York’s bustling SoHo neighborhood late last year. Kith — the winner of the 2023 FN Achievement Award for Retailer of the Year — opened the store at 644 Broadway. This location should look familiar to longtime fans of Kith: it’s the home of the first Manhattan Kith flagship, which opened in 2011 as a shop within the then Atrium store.
