Double fashion deal for Derbion

Cornish-inspired fashion company Seasalt and Midlands clothing company Luke 1977 have signed deals to move into the Derbion shopping centre.

The retailers are set to open their first stores in the Derby mall later this year.

Seasalt has signed a 10-year lease for a 2,400 sq ft unit.

Meanwhile, Luke 1977 will occupy a 1,200 sq ft space with Derbion becoming the menswear retailer’s 15th UK store.

Beth McDonald, managing director at Derbion, said: “Seasalt and Luke 1977 are fantastic brands with strong and growing customer bases. It is great that Seasalt have selected Derbion for their first store at a major East Midlands shopping destination as we believe their quality products will really appeal to our shoppers. Meanwhile, Luke 1977 is a hugely popular brand in the Midlands, and we expect their new store at Derbion to draw in customers from across the region.

“With more big brands selecting Derbion for their flagship East Midlands stores it is helping us to maintain our position as the region’s premier retail and leisure destination.”
