Tessuti to open debut Northern Ireland store at Victoria Square
Premium fashion retailer Tessuti is to open its first store in Northern Ireland at Belfast’s Victoria Square..
The JD Sports owned retailer has signed for a 12,900 square foot space in a prime location at the William Street entrance of the retail and leisure destination.
Due to launch in the fourth quarter of this year, the store will be stocked with designer collections from a mix of brands across menswear, womenswear and childrenswear.
The shop will feature a new signature interior for the retailer which is designed to provide Belfast consumers with a curated and luxuriant shopping experience.
Chris Rowan, director of brand and customer connection at Tessuti, said: “We are incredibly excited to be expanding our presence in Northern Ireland. Victoria Square is the perfect location to kickstart this growth – positioned in the centre of Belfast with a prominent store frontage by the entrance, there is no doubt that this is a solid move for us as a brand. We are looking forward to sharing our exclusive selection of premium fashion brands to local consumers in Belfast.”
The move follows news that luxury watch and jewellery retailer Goldsmiths is to open its newly expanded 2,680 square foot showroom on the upper ground floor of Victoria Square this summer.
Russell Banham, UK head at Commerz Real, said: “Tessuti has moved from strength to strength and has a real vision for physical retail. We are pleased that they have selected our scheme to house its first Northern Ireland store and it speaks volumes about our reputation as the leading retail destination in Belfast. Tessuti selecting Victoria Square underlines our successful strategy of securing new tenants to the market and being at the forefront of a brand’s regional growth.”
