Boutique childrenswear retailer Kids Cavern opens new store in Gateshead

Boutique childrenswear retailer Kids Cavern has opened its fifth UK store at the Metrocentre in Gateshead, Durham.

The new 7,000 sq ft location will offer children's clothes from more than 120 brands including Balenciaga, Balmain, Burberry, Givenchy and Marc Jacobs, with prices starting around £20.

The family-run business was established in 1989 and has since opened two locations in Liverpool, including its 10,000 sq ft flagship location, one in Manchester, and one in Glasgow. It sells designer clothing for children from newborn to teenager and across both genders.

Danny Shelvey, Kids Cavern Managing Director, said: “The new Kids Cavern store will bring the very best luxury childrenswear to Metrocentre. North East consumers have a keen eye for fashion and are very savvy shoppers in touch with the latest trends, so we are confident we will meet the needs of brand-loving parents.

“We found people sometimes have unpleasant memories of shopping at designer department stores, so we wanted to break the mould with a relaxed and informal experience for our customers.”
