Since 2016, Calzedonia, the Italian fashion group that has more than 4,800 stores worldwide, has been trying to conquer the U.S. retail scene, as well, pandemic be damned. When the pandemic hit in March, Calzedonia had 43 stores across the U.S. Since, that number has jumped to 49. 

The bulk of Calzedonia’s new stores are in California, but two of the six are in Florida. All of the new stores are for the Calzedonia brand, which sells women’s legwear and swimwear, and Intimissimi, which sells lingerie. The Florida stores opened in May and August, and the four California stores opened in October.
