Cinq à Sept Opens First California Boutique at Fashion Island

05.14.25

Cinq à Sept, the New York-based women’s ready-to-wear brand, has opened its first West Coast boutique at Fashion Island in Newport Beach. The 1,200-square-foot space marks the latest step in the brand’s retail expansion, following the debut of its SoHo flagship in 2023 and the opening at Aventura Mall in Miami in late 2024.

Founded in 2016 by Jane Siskin and Jalal Elbasri, Cinq à Sept is known for modern classics that effortlessly transition from day to night. The brand’s collections are defined by expert tailoring, feminine silhouettes, and unexpected design details across suiting, cocktailwear, elevated denim, and separates. In 2024, Cinq à Sept launched its first footwear collection and recently announced a handbag collaboration with Scotland-based Strathberry, set to debut in fall 2025.

Rooted in the spirit of the golden hours between 5 and 7 p.m., the brand embodies a balance of sophistication and ease, youthful energy and refined elegance. That ethos is reflected in the thoughtfully designed Newport Beach store, envisioned as a Parisian apartment and anchored in the brand’s signature pale pink. The boutique features warm neutrals, Venetian plaster walls, brass accents, sleek wood finishes, and a porcelain chandelier that together create an inviting yet elevated environment.

The Fashion Island location will debut with the Summer 2025 collection, featuring a curated mix of dresses, separates, suiting, and footwear. The boutique offers a seamless, personal shopping experience in one of Southern California’s premier destinations for fashion, dining, and community.

Store hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Cinq à Sept is located at 401 Newport Center Drive in Newport Beach.
