Aesop to open first store in the north of England
The Aesop luxury skin care brand is to open its first store in the north of England at Victoria Leeds.
Situated in County Arcade, the 753 square foot space is due to open in January 2025 and will stock the brand’s full range of fragrance, skin, hair and body care formulations.
Subscribe to TRBRyad Djellas, general manager, Aesop, European Zone, said: “We have been eager to open our first signature store in the north for some time now and were delighted when the opportunity within the historied County Arcade presented itself.
“The design of our spaces matters deeply to us. We aim to create something of merit, connected to the context of the Arcade. We hope to weave ourselves into the fabric of Leeds and look forward to welcoming customers in the new year.”
Rachel Bradburn, leasing director at Victoria Leeds, added: “Aesop choosing Victoria Leeds for their first store in the north of England strengthens our position as the premier destination for luxury brands.
“We’re excited to see their unique store design come to life when the store opens, further enhancing our distinctive retail offering.”
Owned and operated by Redical, Victoria Leeds has recently seen Boodles increase the trading space of its Victoria Quarter store to more than double the size at 2,700 square feet. This has included the British family owned jeweller adding new entertainment space called The Rose Garden Suite.
