Carvela, Havaianas and Happy Socks are set to join the Manchester-based centre’s retail line up this summer season.
Carvela, owned by Kurt Geiger, will be located in the Centre’s Upper Regent Crescent, and will offer a full range of design-led footwear and accessories, with an emphasis on fashion-forward comfort. The Carvela store launch will be the brand’s first foray into the North West, once complete in mid-June, after signing a 1,000sq ft unit on a ten-year lease.
Meanwhile Kurt Geiger, Carvela’s owner, has renewed its pre-existing lease in the Centre for a further 10 years, with further investment planned by the group for a store re-fit, taking place in June this year.
The Havaianas concession follows the popular Brazilian flip-flop sandal company signing a 550sq ft lease in the Centre’s Main Dome, which opened this month. The unit will trade as the well-known sandal brand throughout the summer months before swapping to Happy Socks in the winter.
Zoe Inman, Centre Director, said: “These three well-known footwear brands are a welcome addition to The Trafford Centre’s fashion offering, which will contribute further to its prestige as one of the most popular and desirable places for fashion retail in the North.”
