The Trafford Centre has revealed details of three new footwear brands and a store re-fit, which are set to further strengthen its fashion offering after the opening of non-essential retail in April.
Carvela, Havaianas and Happy Socks are set to join its retailer line up this summer season.
The Carvela store launch will be the brand’s first foray into the North West, once complete in mid-June, after signing a 1,000 sq ft unit on a ten-year lease and will offer a full range of design-led footwear and accessories.
Kurt Geiger, Carvela’s owner, has renewed its pre-existing lease in the Centre for a further 10 years, with further investment planned by the group for a store re-fit, taking place in June this year.
The Havaianas concession follows the popular Brazilian flip-flop sandal company signing a 550 sq ft lease in the Centre’s Main Dome, which opened this month. The unit will trade as the well-known sandal brand throughout the summer months before swapping to Happy Socks in the winter.
Zoe Inman, Centre Director, said: “These three well-known footwear brands are a welcome addition to The Trafford Centre’s fashion offering, which will contribute further to its prestige as one of the most popular and desirable places for fashion retail in the North.”
