Acqua di Parma Opens Pop-Up Café in Dubai

Italian luxury brand Acqua di Parma opened its Caffettino pop-up café at Bloomingdale's in The Dubai Mall in September. The initiative is designed to celebrate the Italian rituals that are integral to Acqua di Parma's "Art of Living."

The space was conceived by designer Dorothée Meilichzon, drawing inspiration from Italian architectural elements and colors to evoke the ambiance of an Italian summer. Design cues reference Acqua di Parma's Colonia bottle silhouettes and blend influences from both Dubai and Italy.

The café offers a menu featuring espresso-based drinks, traditional Italian pastries, iced coffee, and Mediterranean-inspired mocktails. A custom gelato cart is also featured, providing seasonal offerings.

The Caffettino pop-up aims to immerse guests in the Maison's universe, allowing them to discover its heritage alongside limited editions and new products.
