With a global footprint spanning 24 boutiques across 19 major airports, Cartier continues to expand its presence in key travel destinations. Cartier, in partnership with DFS Group Limited, proudly announces the opening of its first West Coast airport boutique at Los Angeles International Airport LAX. The LAX boutique reflects the Maison’s ongoing commitment to providing luxury travelers with curated, meaningful experiences while strengthening its position as a leader in global airport retail.
Situated in the Tom Bradley International Terminal, Cartier’s LAX boutique offers an immersive experience, inviting travelers to explore a selection of the Maison’s signature jewelry, timepieces, fragrances, and leather goods. Located in one of the busiest travel hubs in the U.S., this new boutique redefines luxury airport retail with an elevated concept that blends Cartier’s heritage with the dynamic essence of Los Angeles.
Since 2020, Cartier has pursued an ambitious airport expansion strategy, securing prime locations across the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. As part of this initiative, Cartier airport boutiques have been reimagined as curated spaces that showcase the Maison’s creativity and elegance while emphasizing sustainability—including efforts to achieve LEED certification.
Bringing together Cartier’s iconic French heritage with the vibrant spirit of L.A., the boutique’s design draws inspiration from the city’s coastal charm and architectural diversity. The exterior features a patterned champagne gold panel reminiscent of ocean waves, a motif that continues into the boutique’s interior. Inside, a carefully curated color palette reflects L.A.’s landscape—sandy neutrals, deep ocean blues, and warm sunset hues, complemented by Cartier’s signature champagne tones.
“The opening of the LAX boutique marks a significant milestone in our strategy to establish a strong and balanced presence in key airports worldwide. We are excited to collaborate with DFS and LAX to shape the future of luxury travel retail and offer travelers a truly unique experience that fuses Cartier’s artistry with the essence of Los Angeles.”—Virginie Martignac, Global Travel Retail Director at Cartier
“We are thrilled to open a new Cartier boutique at Los Angeles International Airport as we begin the new year. Los Angeles has been home to Cartier for over 50 years, and this community remains incredibly special to us. We look forward to welcoming travelers from around the world into this beautiful new space.”—Walter Bolognino, President & CEO of Cartier North America
A striking focal mural welcomes travelers, seamlessly blending Cartier’s emblematic panther with architectural elements inspired by the city’s renowned skyline and cultural landmarks. This thoughtfully designed space allows clients to engage with art and culture while discovering the world of Cartier.
