Johnstons of Elgin joins line-up at Kildare Village
Johnstons of Elgin has opened a debut outlet store at Ireland’s Kildare Village.
Spanning 1,377 square feet, the shop stocks collections for men and women from the knitwear manufacturer’s flagship stores on Multrees Walk in Edinburgh and New Bond Street in London. Items also include textile accessories and woven home furnishings.
George McNeil, managing director retail at Johnstons of Elgin, said: “As our brand evolves, we have developed our retail presence and decided that Kildare Village was the ideal location for our first official retail outlet site. We are delighted to be working with Kildare Village, one of the most exclusive outlet villages in Europe, and look forward to taking our brand offering to Ireland.”
Established in 1797, the family business is one of the last few remaining vertical mills in the UK that still carries out all the processes from raw cashmere and fine woollen fibres right through to the finished product.
Rene Frion, business director of Kildare Village, added: “Kildare Village offers a unique and evolving mix of brands, and we are thrilled to welcome Johnstons of Elgin. Our luxury shopping destination is delivering market-leading growth in the post Covid-19 environment, and we are confident the addition of the Johnstons of Elgin boutique will see this momentum continue.”
