NEW YORK CITY — Saks Fifth Avenue has opened the new 53,000-square-foot main floor of its Manhattan flagship store. The floor is part of a $250 million renovation of the location. The renovated section triples the handbag department selling space, which includes more than 50 brands. The beauty floor above the main was renovated last year and is already open. The two floors are connected via a new atrium that features a large-scale multimedia installation centered around a 60- by 20-foot LED screen as well as custom terrazzo flooring from Italy. The Vault, a high-end jewelry experience, will be unveiled on the lower level of the store later this year.
