The Mercers’ Company has announced a flurry of leasing activity in Covent Garden, with leading fashion and beauty brands, Nobody’s Child, SpaceNK, Whisltes and Lipault, committing to over 11,200sq ft of prime retail space on Long Acre and Neal Street.
Responsible womenswear brand, Nobody’s Child, has selected 3 Neal Street to house its new London flagship. The 2,044sq ft two-storey unit will be the brand’s largest store to date, joining locations on Carnaby Street and Spitalfields. Set to open on 10 August, the Neal Street store will follow Nobody’s Child’s successful pop-up on Long Acre last May, firmly establishing the leading fashion brand in the heart of Covent Garden.
Almost doubling its presence on Neal Street, SpaceNK, the worldwide retailer for luxury cosmetics, has opened its brand-new upsized space in Covent Garden. Recently unveiling its double-frontage 4,285sq ft store at 5-7 Neal Street, the move marks an 80 per cent uplift in space for SpaceNK, with the new West End flagship featuring a state-of-the-art treatment room.
London-based womenswear brand, Whistles, part of TFG London, has selected 117 Long Acre to launch its new London flagship. Spanning two floors, the 3,669sq ft space will be the first of a new store concept for the brand, characterised by its signature contemporary design with a gallery-inspired aesthetic and digital screens. The new flagship store will open on 11 September and house Whistles’ complete Womenswear collection, including Whistles Wedding, Petites, and Limited-Edition collections, all available in UK 04-20 sizes.
Marking Lipault’s debut store in the UK, the Samsonite-owned French luggage brand has officially opened its doors on 120 Long Acre. The 1,206sq ft location is the brand’s fourth store in Europe, joining three sites across Paris, and showcases Lipault’s full range of suitcases, bags and accessories.
