Chanel concept store for Robertson Blvd to cater for the yoof

If you're lucky enough to live in the LA area, you might be interested to know Robertson Boulevard is about to land its first high-end designer concept store with Chanel throwing open its doors this Friday!

According to WWD, the store is aiming to cater for the younger crowd who usually frequent the street for other hip boutiques such as Kitson and Lisa Kline, by making available a carefully edited selection of merchandise.

"Rodeo has the full gamut, from classics to trendy," Barbara Cirkva, president of Chanel's fashion division told WWD. "But Robertson will focus, say, on the hottest bag of the season and have it in three sizes and seven colors. We will take an idea and explode it."

The metallic lambskin quilted classic handbag and ballerina shoes, pictured, are both exclusive to the Robertson boutique and will retail for $2,850 and $595 respectively.

As if this is a good thing. I see nothing in this article regarding the uphill battle the residents of this neighborhood have been fighting for a year and 1/2 against the construction company building this place (and the new Ralph Lauren 2 doors down), and all the laws they're breaking.

For over a year, I (along w/ every neighbor on this street, who share an alleyway with Robertson) have been woken up at 5am to the sound of drills, cranes, cement trucks, hammering, drilling, etc...and the noise does not cease till 11pm or later, leaving a mere 6 hours of quiet time for residents. (LA law dictates no construction is allowed between 7pm and 7am, and NONE on Sundays).

Every time a neighbor calls the cops, nothing happens. I wonder how many bribes Chanel and Ralph Lauren have paid out to run illegal building sites for over a year at the expense of an entire neighborhood?
