The PAOLITA Boutique

With an ethos rooted in arts and culture, and a curated edit of lifestyle brands, PAOLITA now boasts an elevated London-based store.

The flagship space “PAOLITA” is open to all in London’s vibrant neighbourhood of Notting Hill, located at 176b Westbourne Grove W11 2RW.

Artisanally designed, the space reflects our ethos and aesthetic as a brand, boasting hand-crafted features, textures and soothing tones which allow our customers to feel as if they have stepped into an oasis of tranquillity in the heart of the city. Pairing vibrancy with calmness, the space perfectly encapsulates the spirit of PAOLITA.

Behind The Store

More than a store

The PAOLITA flagship store is also a platform for showcasing exceptional talents in art and design.

In 2020, while retail spaces were emptying out their windows due to coronavirus, Anna Paola decided she wanted to fill the PAOLITA store windows with something that would uplift the community and approached global artist Ioanna Pantazopoulou to transform our storefront into an art exhibit that would project onto the street. Over three months Pantazopoulou created a 3D installation titled “Undomesticated” that spanned the store’s primary windows.

Since 2020 the artist residency has also played host to upcoming artists Lily Yang and Lydia Delikoura for their installation “How To Tie Eggs”. We look forward to continuing to use our platform to highlight and share incredible talent with the PAOLITA Art Residency. Keep an eye on our socials for the next installment!
