Luxury skin care brand chooses Leeds for first shop in the north of England

Luxury skin care brand, Aesop, has chosen the Victoria Quarter for its very first store in the north of England.

Aesop, which is well-known for its luxury fragrances and skincare, will open the doors to its new shop in the Victoria Quarter this coming January.

It’s the place to go to if you’re looking for some fancy shmancy hand soap and hand cream that you’ll want to show off when your next guests are round.

Managers of Aesop have said the store will honour the wonderful heritage of the Grade II listed space, whilst reflecting Aesop’s craftsmanship.

Rachel Bradburn, Leasing Director at Victoria Leeds, said: “Aesop choosing Victoria Leeds for their first store in the north of England strengthens our position as the premier destination for luxury brands.

“It’s a testament to our discerning customer base, but also to Aesop’s thoughtful approach in selecting locations where they can integrate seamlessly into the local community.

“We’re excited to see their unique store design come to life when the store opens, further enhancing our distinctive retail offering.”

Ryad Djellas, of Aesop, said: “The experience within any Aesop store, and our relationship with our customers, is never a simply transactional one: it is also educational, prescriptive, and sensorial.

“We have been eager to open our first signature store in the north for some time now and were delighted when the opportunity within the County Arcade presented itself.

“The design of our spaces matters deeply to us. We aim to create something of merit, connected to the context of the Arcade. We hope to weave ourselves into the fabric of Leeds and look forward to welcoming customers in the new year.”
