Dubarry of Ireland signs for West End flagship

The Crown Estate has signed Dubarry of Ireland for a flagship store at 6 Conduit Street, just off of London’s Regent Street.

The footwear and clothing brand has signed a six-year lease for a 1,362 sq ft store, which will open later this summer. This move expands Dubarry of Ireland’s presence in the capital, joining its existing store at Sloane Square.

Founded in Galway in 1937, the brand looks to combine traditional craftmanship with technical performance across footwear, clothing, and accessories, creating products for outdoor lifestyles and long-term wear.

Dubarry of Ireland launched its first physical retail space in Dublin in 2012, before opening its first UK stores in London in 2013 and Cheltenham in 2016. It also recently opened a store in Edinburgh.

The retailer joins a number of heritage-led brands that have joined The Crown Estate’s West End portfolio, including Burberry, Barbour, Mulberry, and recent addition travel brand Antler.

Laura Thursfield, retail leasing director at The Crown Estate, said: “We are delighted to welcome Dubarry of Ireland to its new UK flagship store on Conduit Street. With its reputation for craftsmanship, quality and timeless design, the brand is ideally suited to the premium retail mix around Regent Street.

“This signing reflects our continued focus on curating a balanced retail offer across the West End, bringing together established names, newer brands and evolving concepts that add variety, quality and character. This blend helps ensure the area continues to appeal to a broad range of visitors while maintaining its position as a world class destination for shopping, leisure and hospitality.”

Michael Walsh, marketing director at Dubarry of Ireland, said: “Opening our new flagship store in The Crown Estate’s portfolio marks an exciting milestone for Dubarry. This location gives us the opportunity to showcase the full breadth of our collection in a setting that reflects both our heritage and our commitment to quality craftsmanship. As a brand with deep roots in Ireland, we are delighted to bring the Dubarry experience to one of London’s most prestigious retail destinations and look forward to welcoming both loyal customers and new audiences through our doors.”
