September 10, 2025 – POP MART, the global designer collectibles and entertainment brand, has officially opened its first store in Bordeaux, its first presence outside the Paris region. Located at 8 Rue Sainte Catherine, the store sits on Europe’s longest pedestrian shopping street and invites visitors into an immersive universe where imagination, creativity, and playful wonder come alive in the heart of the city’s historic shopping district.
The Bordeaux store draws inspiration from DIMOO, one of POP MART’s most beloved IP, for its opening visuals and immersive displays. A special highlight is the first launch of THE MONSTERS’ new vinyl plush series, Pins-for-Love, available via a raffle, alongside other highly sought-after collectibles offered with purchase limits. To inaugurate the store, the store manager will open a DIMOO-labeled Champagne bottle in front of the store. The store display will integrate some Saint-Emilion red wine labels, celebrating Bordeaux’s wine culture in POP MART’s playful spirit.
Peter Shipman, Head of Europe and Managing Director at POP MART, said: “Bordeaux is a city full of culture, history, and style. Opening our store on Sainte Catherine Street allows us to connect with fans in an inspiring environment, bringing the joy, creativity, and imagination of POP MART to the heart of the city. We are thrilled to begin this new chapter with collectors and enthusiasts across France.”
Since its founding in 2010, POP MART has grown from a niche designer toy label into a global cultural phenomenon. Listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2020, the company has achieved remarkable growth, reporting 13.88 billion Yuan (≈ €1.84 billion) in revenue in the first half of 2025, a 204.4 percent year-on-year increase. Today, POP MART operates more than 500 offline stores across 30 countries and has captured the imagination of fans worldwide, including celebrity admirers such as BLACKPINK’s Lisa, Rihanna, David Beckham, and Brad Pitt.

POP MART’s store infuses the street with imagination, creativity, and playful energy, making it a must-visit destination for collectors and fans of all ages.
