Tessuti launches store in Northern Ireland’s Victoria Square
Tessuti has launched a new store at the Victoria Square retail and leisure destination in Belfast.
The shop is the premium fashion retailer’s first flagship store on the island of Ireland.
The JD Sports owned brand has opened in a 12,900 square foot unit in the prime William Street entrance to Victoria Square. The store stocks designer collections for men, women and children from brands such as Polo Ralph Lauren, Billionaire Boys Club, Parajumpers, Versace Jeans Couture, Moose Knuckles, Sandbanks, Emporio Armani and more.
Chris Rowan, director of brand and customer connection at Tessuti, said: “We are so pleased to have opened our Ireland flagship and showcase our latest concept in a new region. The destination has provided us with a prime central location in the heart of Belfast, and it is great to have launched in time for the festive period.”
The new addition follows a successful third quarter of 2022 for Victoria Square when sales rose by 20% against the same period in 2019. Furthermore, the destination has secured over 85,000 square feet of signings, openings and regears in the past six months, including Sweaty Betty, Whistles and Gilly Hicks.
Russell Banham, UK head at Commerz Real, said: “Tessuti’s first luxury flagship store provides Victoria Square’s visitors with yet another unique shopping experience. Tessuti delivers a vast selection of designer brands under one roof which extends the overall breadth of our retail offer.
“We are pleased to welcome Tessuti to Victoria Square for its Ireland debut, joining Gilly Hicks, Sweaty Betty, and first Irish store for Whistles. We have no doubt that Tessuti will play a central role in the growth of our scheme for 2023.”
