“The Knightsbridge Penthouse is an amazing space, and the significance of this partnership cannot be underestimated,” says Letitia Fitzgibbon, Head of Interior Design Studio at Harrods. “This guided our vision to create something that honours the excellence and heritage of the brands whilst cultivating an elevated and enriched art of living for the Penthouse residents, unparalleled in Miami.”

Balancing functionally and indulgence, carefully crafted “his” and “hers” dressing rooms turn the act of getting ready into a luxurious daily ritual.
