Outlet centre Gunwharf Quays, in Portsmouth, is to welcome two new fashion brands, Hackett London and Michael Kors.
For Michel Kors, this will be the fourth outlet shop to open in the UK. The store will be located at the centre of Gunwharf Quays covering a 3,669 sq ft space situated opposite Ted Baker. Whereas Hackett London will be opening its first store in the South East.
Existing fashion brand Polo Ralph Lauren, are moving to a larger store which will be double the size of its old space.
Chairman of Hackett London, Jeremy Hackett, said: “Gunwharf Quays’ universal appeal to a burgeoning number of tourists and a unique, curated mix of brands highlights the desire for the Hackett brand to open a store. We are extremely excited to offer our luxury ranges of men’s formal and casualwear to such a large and enthusiastic catchment.”
Michael Kors and Hackett London will be joining current retailers such as Jaeger, Radley, Ugg, Hugo Boss and Tommy Hilfiger.
Adding his comment, portfolio director at Land Securities, Jack Busby, said: “The addition of such prestigious brands as Michael Kors and Hackett reinforces Gunwharf Quays’ status as the leading premium retail outlet in the UK, whilst Polo Ralph Lauren’s major upsizing is a huge demonstration of our consumer pull and attraction here. These new tenants represent a significant investment from some of the world’s top premium brands to be part of a hugely successful, forward-thinking outlet.”
