Hobbs to upsize and relocate at Victoria Leeds
Women’s fashion brand Hobbs is set to relocate and upsize at Redical’s Victoria Leeds, increasing its presence at the scheme by 30%.
Opening the new store in December, Hobbs will relocate from Victoria Quarter to a new 4,200 sq ft flagship at Victoria Gate.
The new store will enable the brand to showcase a wider range of its signature women’s clothing, shoes, accessories, and occasion-wear, in response to high demand at the centre.
The relocation also enables Hobbs to sit alongside fellow TFG London brands, Phase Eight and Whistles, as well as complement a wider range of brands at the destination including The White Company, Mint Velvet, NEOM Wellbeing and Pour Moi.
Rachel Bradburn, leasing director at Victoria Leeds, said: “This latest announcement further cements Victoria Leeds’ position as one of the UK’s most trusted premium and luxury retail destination. We are welcoming more visitors than ever before to Victoria Gate, which is a testament to high calibre brands reinvesting and recommitting with us, like those in the TFG London portfolio, but also to Redical’s ongoing commitment to provide an exceptional curated retail mix and customer experience.”
This news follows the recent openings of British heritage and lifestyle brand, Barbour, and New York-founded perfumery Le Labo at Victoria Leeds. Both located in Victoria Quarter, Barbour opened its first standalone store in the city, whilst Le Labo’s store marked a regional debut.
Lunson Mitchenall and Central Retail acted for Victoria Leeds, whilst Braiser Freeth represented Hobbs.
