Balenciaga has opened a London location! The space is located in Sloane Street and includes a 220-square-meter space for the designer’s new Raw collection.

Contexture concrete is an innovative, sustainable building material that can be used in a variety of residential and commercial applications. It offers many benefits over more traditional building materials including long-term durability, low maintenance costs, and energy efficiency.
