Victoria Leeds caps strong 2025 with three pre-Christmas arrivals

Redical’s Victoria Leeds has capped a positive year of high-profile retail arrivals with a trio of new store openings, all making their north of England debuts in time for the busy festive season.

Sustainable outdoor brand Finisterre continues its own year of expansion, with a store spanning 2,464 sq ft,  showcasing the brand’s full lifestyle collection alongside innovative cold-water surfwear and outerwear ranges.

Opening at the same time is fragrance brand Arabian Oud, situated in Victoria Gate, with its 815 sq ft featuring the brand’s new store concept while becoming its second store outside of London.

Stocking a luxury-end range of fragrances, oils, incense, home scents, and hair formulations, the concept space features a palm tree centrepiece “paying homage to the [Middle Eastern] region’s symbolism and natural heritage”.

Completing the trio is premium jewellery brand Dinny Hall, with its 800 sq ft regional debut, also within the centre’s Victoria Quarter. The space highlights the brand’s signature collections of hand-picked, responsibly-sourced gemstones, set within a range of collectable and uniquely designed fine- and demi-fine jewellery. 

Rachel Bradburn, Head of Leasing at Victoria Leeds operator Redical, said “[We are] committed to building on its reputation as a truly desirable shopping destination, attracting the very best brands on the high street. Opening in the height of the festive period, [these three] are exceptional additions to our vibrant line-up.

These new openings follow the recent signing announcements of premium athleisure brand Alo Yoga and high-end jewellery brand APM Monaco, which will be opening in the New Year.
