Ex-TATI Barbès becomes a sports and cultural concept store, designed by Jordan & Maison Château Rouge

Alert! Theex-TATI Barbès reopened its doors on June 29, 2024, resurrected by Youssouf Fofana, the fashion designer behind the Maison Château Rouge label. In collaboration with Jordan Brand, this legendary former store in the 18th arrondissement is transformed into District 23, an ephemeral hub combining sport and culture, for 6 weeks of pure effervescence! Inspired by the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, this project is an ode to youth and creativity, so dear to the designer.

Fofana and Jordan wanted to make the spirit of the Olympics accessible to as many people as possible, by combining sport and culture in a hip, free venue. The result? A 6,000 m2 space, fresh and beautiful, combining a library, a café and a store selling Paris souvenirs revisited by local designers. Open from Friday to Sunday, this spot will become your new summer HQ!
