Premium brands join line-up at Victoria Leeds
Hammerson owned Victoria Leeds is adding Cubitts eyewear specialist and Castle Fine Art to its line-up.
The Cubitts store is the brand’s first in the north following openings in London and Brighton and its ranges include an exclusive limited-edition collection of three frames inspired by Leeds-based artists, designers and architects.
Meanwhile Castle Fine Art, which specialises in original and limited edition artwork and sculptures, is opening a new flagship gallery at Victoria Leeds as a relocation from County Arcade.
Spread over 4,000 square feet, the store will enable the retailer to have more exhibition and event space.
Other retailers to sign up for stores at Victoria Leeds recently include Boodles, Kate Spade and Carvela. In addition, L’Occitane has upsized to a larger unit.
Jo Coburn, general manager of Victoria Leeds, said: “Cubitts is just the type of brand that will resonate with customers at Victoria Leeds; it’s been able to reimagine the concept of an eyewear store creating something more in keeping with a lifestyle brand.
“We are excited that it will sit alongside the new Castle Fine Art and new openings including Boodles and Kate Spade. It is a real testament to the quality and location of Victoria Leeds that luxury brands see the city as key to their expansion plans.”
