What is a concept store?

The story of the concept store dates back years. These shops or shops were born from 1950 in England on the famous King’s Road. The concept stores then democratized in the country and then throughout Europe. It is precisely from the arrival of store stores in Italy that the term "concept store" was born. This was invented by a sociologist called Francesco Morace in 1991. These shops or shops stand out for Diversity of products that they offer customers. It is even difficult to give an ample and complete definition to so -called "concept store" shops.
At Flowrette, we want to create lots of different handicrafts. The dried flowers were our first product. Today, we want to offer you several different products and create a real universe with you. Our challenge is to offer you quality craft products. That you like and last over time.

This is why the word that now characterizes Flowrette is the idea of ​​concept store.

You can discover all our products by returning to theE-shop from our concept store.

If you want to know more about the definition of the concept store, we let you read this article.

Definition of a concept store

First of all, it is necessary to provide a complete and precise definition of a concept store. From when can we consider that a shop or a store is a concept store? There are several criteria that must be met to consider a shop as a concept store. Above all, we will notice the multitude of products put up for sale in this type of shop. THE Original customer journey also constitutes a distinctive feature of the concept stores.

Finally, we believe that a concept store is interesting when there is a real product research and an exclusive side, trendy in the selection of partner products and brands.

There Product selection In a concept store

A concept store is characterized by the wide variety of products it offers. We discover in particular pieces of art for decoration. However, the shops and which are called concept store are not limited to a single product universe. The offer of a concept store can be very (very) wide: there are many products ranging from clothing to DIY, including food, catering and sometimes even beauty and cosmetics. You can even find electric apparatus. There is no limit in the products that can be found there. It is in this spirit that we understand Flowrette currently. The concept store is also and often an ideal place to find in particular gift ideas to offer!

Among all the products offered in a concept store, some articles stand out from others by their uniqueness. In reality, these are creations made by craftsmen, amateurs or renowned. Store concepts host objects to manufacture objects original. These are shaped from raw raw materials or with existing elements. Unlike conventional resellers, the concept stores play on the exclusive side of their product. At Flowrette we try to go even further in the concept by creating or co-creating the majority of our products with French artisans or elsewhere, known and recognized for their know-how.
