ARNE to open third permanent UK store at Victoria Leeds
ARNE is to open its third permanent UK store at Victoria Leeds, as the digitally native fashion brand continues to expand its physical retail footprint eight years after launching.
The 3,658 sq ft store will open in Victoria Quarter and will offer ARNE’s full range across menswear, womenswear and footwear.
The Leeds opening follows the launch of the brand’s first permanent store at Liverpool ONE in September, after ARNE had previously used two pop-ups and an interactive activation at the destination to test demand and refine its in-store experience.
ARNE also opened a 4,500 sq ft pop-up on Carnaby Street in London in November 2025, which ran through the festive period.
Founded in 2018 by brothers Ryan and Reece Broadhurst, ARNE began as a menswear brand before expanding into womenswear and footwear. The brand has built its business primarily online, with its move into permanent stores forming part of its wider retail strategy.
James Edmondson, Asset Manager at Victoria Leeds owner and operator Redical, said the addition of ARNE reflected the destination’s strategy of bringing together fashion and lifestyle brands.
“Victoria Leeds remains distinct in its ability to secure brands with outstanding reputations and the quality offer to match,” he said. “The signing of ARNE is entirely in keeping with this strategy.”
The signing follows AS Colour’s opening of its fourth UK store at Victoria Leeds in May, with the New Zealand-based brand describing the destination as important in helping brands establish a bricks-and-mortar presence.
Mixed fashion at Victoria Leeds has recorded an 8% year-on-year sales uplift, according to Redical, with the destination home to more than 85 fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands.
The ARNE store will sit within Victoria Quarter alongside brands including Reiss, The White Company, Nobody’s Child, & Other Stories and Ralph Lauren.
The signing was represented by LM and Central Retail for Redical and KLM Real Estate for ARNE.
