British heritage and lifestyle brand Barbour is preparing to open a new standalone store in Leeds’ Victoria Quarter later this summer. This store will be the brand’s first outside of London, marking a significant expansion for Barbour. Situated at 9-11 King Edward Street, the store is located within a 2,679 square foot, Grade II listed retail unit. This establishment will feature Barbour’s heritage men’s and women’s wear collections, including classic variations of its staple waxed jacket.
Spanning two floors, the store will creatively integrate industrial design elements with Barbour’s well-known craftsmanship. The interior design aims to reflect both the modern and traditional aspects of the brand, providing a unique shopping experience for customers.
Rachel Bradburn, leasing director of Victoria Leeds, commented on this development: “Victoria Leeds has always been a home for leading British and independent brands, but since Redical’s new ownership, we’ve seen a significant shift.” She added, “Our impressive performance this year, coupled with the arrival of prestigious brands like Barbour with their newest concept store, exemplifies this momentum. This latest signing is yet another example of Victoria Leeds being the destination of choice for high calibre brands seeking a premium location with a proven loyal customer base. We’re very excited for Barbour’s new store opening later this summer.”
Victoria Leeds already hosts 38 fashion shops, including internationally recognised retailers such as Calvin Klein, Whistles, Reiss, and Pour Moi. The addition of Barbour further enhances the area’s reputation as a premium retail destination.
Barbour’s new store launch in Leeds reflects the brand’s strategic expansion and underscores Victoria Leeds’ status as a premier shopping location.
