They perfectly complement the entirely new and vibrant blend of retailers we have already attracted to Leeds and will add to the draw of Victoria Gate as the North’s go-to premium retail and dining destination.”
Iain Burton, founder and chairman Aspinal of London: “Leeds has been on our radar for some time as an important and vibrant UK city, and Victoria Gate with its fantastic design, lively ambience and mix of high-end stores is, we feel, the perfect environment for Aspinal of London. We are very excited about bringing Aspinal of London to this great city and to opening in Victoria Gate.”
