Following the success of its Cardiff launch, Lone Design Club returns with a bold new chapter this time debuting CACHE, an innovative retail concept opening in Cabot Circus, Bristol, in partnership with leading landlord Hammerson.
More than just a name, CACHE is a statement. In tech, a cache stores vital data for speed and performance. In culture, CACHE is where future-facing design, fashion and creativity are kept curated, considered, cult and ultimately commercial.
As the retail industry shifts away from rigid long-term leases and toward more flexible, data-driven experiences, CACHE offers a future-facing format that’s becoming increasingly essential. It provides a strategic entry point for emerging DTC brands to test physical retail in prime locations with minimal risk. For landlords like Hammerson, CACHE acts as an incubator – allowing brands to grow their presence, build confidence and ultimately graduate to larger permanent units within their portfolios.
Designed to support the next generation of retailers, CACHE is a cost-effective, turnkey solution that removes the traditional barriers to entry. It gives brands the opportunity to trial new markets, engage with customers in real life and scale at their own pace all while contributing to the revitalisation of UK high streets.
“It’s a powerful moment when major landlords like Hammerson back innovative new retail formats. Bristol’s CACHE store isn’t just another pop-up – it’s a vibrant, curated experience, offering DTC brands the tools, support and space they need to succeed. We’re proud to be reshaping how brands and consumers connect in physical retail,” said Rebecca Morter, Founder and CEO, Lone Design Club.
