STORES: Karma Loop Flagship is Open for Business

For all of you fanatics like us Karma Loop's flagship store is up and running at 160 Newbury Street in Boston.

Check out a description of the new digs:

The new store is fitted with hardwood flooring as well as a marble mosaic tile featuring an inlaid “K” in the middle while offering many unique standout design features. One of the most interesting pieces is the custom chandeliers created by world-renowned Dutch artist, Maarten Baas. These chandeliers, hand-made with a special smoking technique that creates the impression the chandeliers were charred in a fire, will be seen for the first time in the United States in the Karmaloop flagship store in Boston.

The Victorian style fireplace is a central piece in the store’s design while a glass floor in part of the store willallow people to see into the foundation of the building and view the anthropological artifacts down there. Additionally the store will feature custom leather upholstered fixtures, as well as hand built wooden cases andcash wrap with a black marble top, a wrought iron wall of kicks based on the iron work on the windows of the Boston Public Library, 3 flat screen televisions showing clips from KarmaloopTV, four computers were shopperscan shop on-line at Karmaloop.com (and always get free shipping) purple damask wallpaper, exposed sandstone and a carved throne at the front entrance. Now that is luxury!---Paradise
