Pangaia to open first standalone UK store
Materials science company Pangaia is to open its first standalone UK store in London’s Soho this summer
The 1,500 square foot shop at 57 Carnaby Street will offer the brand’s genderless apparel and will also enable shoppers to learn more about the company’s problem-solving materials science innovations.
The signing serves to emphasise Soho’s position as a popular location for debut stores. Pangaia will sit amongst retailers such as END, Adidas Originals, and Axel Arigato, all of which opened debut stores – a first in London for END, and firsts globally for Adidas Originals and Axel Arigato.
Michelle McGrath, executive director at Shaftesbury Capital, said: “Pangaia is one of the most interesting and innovation-driven brands globally. Their flagship UK debut in Soho’s Carnaby Street underscores the district’s reputation for UK firsts, world-class experiences and sought-after consumer demographics.
“The signing highlights our approach to active curation, seeking out challenger and high growth brands which complement the muti-dimensional nature of the area and its existing brands and restaurants such as Aimé Leon Dore, Adidas Originals, END, Mountain, Kiln and Rita’s.”
