Derbion has joined the ever-growing list of shopping centres with new arrivals to report. The Derby mall is set to welcome fashion retailers Seasalt and Luke 1977 with stores to debut in the city later this year.
Seasalt
Seasalt has signed a 10-year lease for a 2,400 sq ft unit, which will become its first store at a major East Midlands shopping destination as it continues its UK expansion. Work is set to begin on transforming Seasalt’s space this spring, with the doors to the new store set to open later this year offering its mix of fashion-meets-comfort clothing, footwear and accessories.
Richie Edwards, director of Retail at Seasalt said: “Our new store at Derbion continues our ambitious growth plans and we are thrilled to secure a space at such a well-performing shopping destination.”
Meanwhile, Luke 1977 will occupy a 1,200 sq ft space becoming the menswear retailer’s 15th UK store, offering a blend of streetwear and smart tailoring.
Luke Enston head Of Retail for the label, said: “Our arrival at Derbion continues our expansion across the UK as our brand continues to go from strength to strength… [allowing] us to gain access to a wide catchment of shoppers.”
The arrival of Seasalt and Luke 1977 follows the recent announcement that Victoria’s Secret will also arrive at Derbion as the shopping centre continues to expand its fashion line up.
Last year, Derbion also welcomed brands such as Castore, White Stuff and Pavers, while also retaining key names JD and New Look that have invested in enhancing their stores.
“The continued introduction of new brands and retention of popular favourites is a prime example of Derbion’s progressive leasing strategy of optimising the offer from its current retailers whilst attracting exciting new brands to the tenant mix,” it said.
