This Dutch clothing store is loved by Kate Middleton. It’s now open at Dadeland Mall
Scotch and Soda has arrived at Dadeland Mall.
Contrary to the name, S&S is not an old school cocktail bar, but an upscale-casual clothing store coming to us from Amsterdam.
The Kendall shop is the fifth in South Florida, with other spots in Miami Beach (the one on Lincoln Road just turned 10) as well as at Aventura Mall and in Wynwood.
But since Kendall is the center of the universe, we are finally giving Scotch and Soda some serious ink.
Not like these folks need it. Back in March, the brand got an international jolt of fame after royal beauty Kate Middleton stepped out in an S & S belted safari shacket (shirt meets jacket).
“Endlessly optimistic, we champion individuality, authenticity and the power of self-expression to create the unique — an attitude reflected in our designs,” explains the company’s website of its mass appeal.
Their mission? Designing cool duds and doing good.
Besides S & S’s neat, tailored clothing, you’ll note a save-the-planet theme throughout the new 1,228-square-foot space. Think such sustainable features as LED lighting, wood flooring certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and hangers made of recycled materials.
“One of our top priorities is to run our business with greater sensitivity to our planet by making more responsible choices every day that reduce our environmental impact,” says the website.
Another running theme? Florals.
For the holidays and into 2023, you can shop for an eclectic mix of upbeat pieces (jeans, sweats, tops) inspired by the vast variety of flowers that dot Holland’s capital.
So in sum, this opening is a big deal. The company currently runs more than 200 freestanding stores in some of the world’s biggest cities, including New York, London and Paris. And now, Kendall.
