British travel brand Antler is to open a flagship store on London’s Regent Street, becoming its first standalone UK location and the first opening since the brand’s ‘reimagination’ in 2023.
Located at 100 Regent Street, it will open in early 2026 and “marks a pivotal moment for the brand”.
Situated at the southern end of London’s prestigious shopping district, Antler will join other global British brands Burberry and Mulberry in its premium retail positioning, it noted.
The key central London debut follows the success of a one-year residency on Spring Street, New York, and a pop-up store in Selfridges London last year.
But the key Regent Street opening also signals “the beginning of Antler’s wider retail investment strategy”, with a goal to open at least three stores in the UK and internationally over the next three years, it said.
It added: “This commitment reflects Antler’s confidence in the relevance of physical retail and its importance in deepening customer connections as the brand continues to grow.”
Spanning two floors over 2,400 sq ft, the new London store “will be designed as a unique retail experience… bringing to life Antler’s new brand identity in a physical setting”.
It will feature “a blend heritage and modernity, reflecting Antler’s long-standing legacy through a contemporary lens”. It uses materials that complement the surrounding architecture and environment in a space that will allow customers to explore Antler’s full range of luggage, bags, and accessories.
MD Kirsty Glenne said: “ When we began the brand and business transformation journey three years ago, we couldn’t have envisioned a more fitting location. Regent Street’s global reputation and rich history make it the ideal setting for the next phase of our brand journey in our home market. It truly puts Antler back on the map in a significant way.”
Laura Thursfield, Retail Leasing director for the property’s owner/landlord Crown Estate added: “This new addition follows our recent acquisition of 100 Regent Street and will be integral to the delivery of our wider plans for Regent Street and St James’s.”
Spanish label Toni Pons continues to expand its global retail network and has opened a new store in the US. The Catalan espadrille brand has opened in Miami Beach, Florida, at 1656 Lenox Ave. It is the brand’s second store in the state, following its opening at the end of 2024 in Boca Raton.

The Spanish footwear brand, which will celebrate its 80th anniversary in 2026, announced the opening via its profile on the professional networking platform LinkedIn and described it as “a new chapter in its international journey.”
Based in Girona, the footwear brand was founded in 1946 and currently operates more than 50 company-owned stores in Spain and abroad. The online channel is also a key pillar of its business, and the brand is available at around 4,000 multi-brand points of sale across nearly 90 markets. In financial terms, the brand records annual turnover of approximately €32 million.
