As summer comes to a close, Kith is opening its doors to its most ambitious brick-and-mortar endeavor to date — a hybrid member’s club, a hub of lifestyle and luxury, a convergence of culture and community – Kith Ivy.
The high-fashion fulcrum is, at first, a full-service members’ wellness club, with annual fees rumored to cost upwards of $36,000 USD. Stationed in the heart of New York City’s West Village (a private lobby at 120 Leroy Street, to be specific), Kith Ivy is also home to a full-size padelball court, with Wilson joining in for some collaborative padel merch, as well as Kith Ivy’s own apparel and accessory brand.
“Kith Ivy signifies two very important moments for the brand,” Ronnie Fieg explained in a press statement, bringing the brand’s guiding foundational pillars into physical existence.
Continuing through the homey atmosphere, designed to actually feel like someone’s house, you’ll stumble across a multitude of dining areas, a tonic bar, a wellness center, rooftop padel courts and pro shops, and even an Erewhon: the first Erewhon tonic bar outside of Los Angeles.
Elsewhere, Kith invites the Moroccan-Mediterranean Cafe Mogador to set up shop with vintage-sourced Persian rugs lining the space, along with a central fireplace and bookshelves. Giorgio Armani continues to curate its partnership with Fieg’s imprint, equipped with a first-of-its-kind luxury spa experience, enclosed by travertine walls and flooring and complete with a multitude of treatment rooms for massage work, various facial treatments, IV drips, and other therapies. A 1,500 square foot gym comes with high-quality cardio, machine, and free-weight equipment.
“Firstly, the Kith Ivy club in New York is our most holistic entry into hospitality, expanding outside of dining into true lifestyle services, sport and wellness, and product,” Fieg continued, pointing to the legacy label’s first-ever formal foray into the hospitality ether.
“In parallel and equally importantly, Kith Ivy is a new brand for us, focused on the aesthetic coalescing around the sport of Padel. I saw it as an intriguing opportunity to help define what a relatively newly adopted sport could look like.”
To step into Kith Ivy, you’ll have to shell out the annual membership when the doors officially open later this Fall, but take a closer look inside the club in the gallery above.
