Saks Fifth Avenue flagship has revealed its newly renovated ground floor accessories department. The 5000 m² ground floor which was previously the beauty department now offers 50 handbag brands, of which 14 are new to the store.

A striking aspect of the floor is its Rem Koolhaas-designed escalator which changes colour. The beauty department has been moved to the upper floor while the fine jewellery now has its place called The Vault in the basement. This floor is part of the $250 million grand renovation kicked off four years ago with the "0022-SHOE" department.
