Fashion designer to open store in Birmingham

FASHION brand Paul Smith is bringing its designer wares to Birmingham this month and will be stocking shoes, accessories, artwork and collections for both men and women.

The deep pink shop façade that will greet guests at the store as they enter references Paul’s love of Mexican architect Luis Barragán.

Paul Smith said: “From a giant bright pink box in Los Angeles to a Victorian townhouse with a cast iron facade in London, I always try to come up with totally unique shops, wherever they are in the world.

“What’s lovely about this one is it has a great mix of clothes and accessories for men and women, as well as a few unexpected twists and turns too!”

Paul Smith Birmingham will join designer brands, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, Gieves & Hawkes, LK Bennett and Daniel Footwear at The Mailbox at the end of September.

Co-owner of the Mailbox, Simon Samuels said: “Our strategy for the Mailbox has been to bring world-class names to Birmingham, curating an exciting retail mix complimented by a high quality and innovative food and beverage offer.

“We know that Paul Smith will be a hugely welcomed addition to our strong and diverse fashion offer.”
