The Sephora “Shop in Shop” concept

The “Shop in Shop” concept was created when SEPHORA opened its doors at Manor in Switzerland in 2016, offering customers the opportunity to touch and test products in a giant “beauty playground”. In Germany, SEPHORA is launching a completely redesigned and contemporary concept for the first time at Munich’s Galeria Kaufhof. The 130 m2 “Shop in Shop” will offer a wide range of services such as the Gift Factory and the Sephora Beauty Bar, where our Make-up Artists will teach and inspire our clients. The SEPHORA “Shop in Shop” will be a true “playground”, where learning about beauty is fun.
