Shaftesbury Capital has announced that Axel Arigato, the global Swedish footwear brand, has opened its flagship store at 21-23 Earlham Street in Covent Garden’s Seven Dials neighbourhood.
Located in the heart of Seven Dials in an anchor unit opposite the iconic sundial pillar, the launch of the international lifestyle brand underscores Covent Garden’s status as the leading destination for flagship stores from innovative, world-class concepts.
With a footprint of 2,500sq ft, Axel Arigato Covent Garden offers an extensive range of womenswear, menswear and accessories, including their iconic sneakers and ready-to-wear. To celebrate its 10th anniversary, Axel Arigato will also launch a 10-year capsule collection featuring bespoke Axel A monogramming across a t-shirt, denim and Area & Dice sneakers for both men and women, which will be available in-store and online as part of a limited run.
The interiors of the store reflect the brand’s longstanding commitment to creating ‘gallery-like spaces,’ that highlight the products and collaborations, whilst also serving the community with its robust event series, which includes Axel Arigato’s 10 Year Anniversary celebrations, opening and closing party with drinks, DJs and special performances.
Partnering with long-standing collaborators Hallerod, the new Earlham Street location has been fitted out in signature Axel Arigato style, where natural marbles collide with man-made metals, and an in-wall speaker system that underscores the brand’s ongoing connection to music subculture. The store is designed to be easily transformed into an event space, acting as a second community hub in the heart of the capital.
Albin Johansson, CEO & Co-Founder, Axel Arigato, commented: “London has been a spiritual home for Axel Arigato since we launched our very first store here back in 2016. We’re thrilled to be able to expand our bricks and mortar business in the capital – and it feels extra special to do this in our tenth anniversary year in the epicentre of world-leading performance-wear brands in the UK. We’re looking forward to offering a unique space and some unforgettable events to customers at our new store in Covent Garden’s Seven Dials.”
