Saudi Arabia is making big moves in the luxury fashion world, and Riyadh is at the center of it all. With the city’s fashion scene rapidly expanding — especially with Riyadh Fashion Week gaining momentum — major brands are taking notice. Now, Balenciaga has opened its largest flagship store in the world, right in the heart of the Saudi capital.

The new store is located on the Ground Floor of Solitaire Mall, between Christian Dior and Bottega Veneta stores, making it a fitting home for the high-end fashion house.

Covering 483 square meters, the space embraces Balenciaga’s signature industrial aesthetic. Shoppers stepping inside will find themselves surrounded by raw concrete walls, sleek aluminum displays, and LED lighting, all in a moody grey palette. Luxurious velvet curtains, leather seating, and metal tables add a touch of contrast, blending edginess with sophistication.

One of the store’s highlights is the exclusive VIC (Very Important Customer) room — a private area designed for personalized styling sessions and VIP shopping experiences. This addition reinforces Balenciaga’s commitment to high-end, tailored service.

The store in Solitaire offers a wide range of collections, including ready-to-wear fashion, accessories, eyewear, and jewelry. Shoppers can also find limited-edition pieces, some of which are exclusive to the region, making this flagship a must-visit for fashion lovers looking for something unique.

As Saudi Arabia continues to position itself as a global luxury hub, the opening of Balenciaga’s biggest store is another milestone in the country’s fashion evolution. With this launch, Balenciaga now has three locations in Saudi Arabia, further strengthening its presence in the region.
