Have You Arrived?

Arrive Miami, opened in 2005, since then the buss has been crazy to say the least. The 3000 sq. foot shop opened in the heart of South Beach on Collins Avenue. With the creative vision of former CD of Sean John, Dao-Yi Chow, Max Pierre of Miami’s famed Opium Group and former investment banker Dennis Jiu, a new bridge was built between the shopper and the traveler.

"With Arrive, we wanted to create a space that explored today’s global lifestyle of frequent travel, and what people do when they arrive in a new city,” says Chow. “But it’s not just about the destination, it’s about the process of exploration. It’s about the thoughts and excitement you feel when you experience a new culture. Because its not what we wear but why we choose to wear it. It’s about how we pack, where we stay, what we do when we ARRIVE." Chow’s vision is expressed in the way he curates the shop. Mixing an avant-garde designer sensibility with a street aesthetic, specifically edited to entice and enhance a modern tastemaker’s busy life, Arrive’s merchandise mix offers an eclectic array of apothecary, luggage, gadgets, books footwear and fashion from the most innovative labels – a first for the Miami scene.

The website has recently been updated, with news, and events as well as exclusives. If you know about this store, and love it, don't worry, you won't have to go all the way to Miami anymore, although that never hurts, but a New York store is right around the corner. Be on the look-out all you jet setters and travelers. Like Jay said, " I could touch down and take off the same night."
