„Inspire me!“

Das „Lighthouse-Konzept“ hat das Markenprofil von Esprit emotional neu aufgeladen und macht dies durch einen Mix aus Wohn-ambiente und Naturverbundenheit im Store-Design für die Kunden erlebbar. Das neue Store-Konzept schlägt so eine Brücke zu den Anfängen der Marke im kalifornischen San Francisco und zeigt die Bedeutung der konstanten Weiterentwicklung und der Differenzierung des Vertriebsportfolios nach dem Wandel der Kundenbedürfnisse.
