A partnership between Amazon and Calvin Klein for a brand new concept store in NYC!
Calvin Klein x Amazon Fashion
Concept
Amazon launched a new partnership with Calvin Klein and opened 2 pop up stores in Los Angeles and New York for the end of the year celebrations. The store offers a selection of Calvin Klein clothes only available on Amazon.
This offline initiative is being completed by a dedicated website amazon.com/mycalvins.
You can purchase in store or scan the product that you want directly with your mobile Amazon app and then ask for it to be delivered at home. Here, like it is already the case with Amazon bookstore, there is no price on the products.
You need to check the prices on the app. On the app you can also have the reviews of the previous customers on the product Finally, the prices are of course, the same as the ones online. Showrooming is therefore not an option anymore ! For Amazon, the store of the future does not display prices !
What’s the interest of this pop up store?
For Calvin Klein, which is a trendy and cool brand, it shows that it remains modern by testing new ways of shopping. Calvin Klein can then propose an immersive customer experience to its clients without needing to re invent the client experience or developing a technology since they are already offered by Amazon.
For Amazon, this new concept store allows them to show to department stores that despite the fact that they are a e-business, they maintain very good relationships with their suppliers. This good relationship authorizes them to imagine new types of point of sales by offering exclusive collections to Amazon clients.
