Paul Smith to open new location at Borough Yards

Legendary designer Paul Smith is to open a new location in London's Borough Yards tomorrow, featuring both a store and exhibition space with unique furniture and artwork sourced from around the world.

The 2,000 sq ft space will stock Paul Smith clothing, shoes and accessories collections for men and women, plus a selection of the newly launched PS Paul Smith Happy products.

To continue this tradition of being rooted in each stores local communities, Paul Smith Borough Yards takes inspiration from the stalls and stallholders of the market itself - the shop fit will be flexible, with antique French and English 19th century furniture in mahogany and oak alongside functional metal racking and shipping palettes.

To mark the shop’s grand opening, a special exhibition of new works and limited edition screenprints by young British artist Harry Cartwright will be hosted. Cartwright has been a regular collaborator with Paul Smith, having previously exhibited work in the Albemarle Street, Berlin and Downtown LA shops.

Borough Yards is a large-scale cultural, dining and shopping district, based in and around a series of restored and repurposed railway arches, the majority of which is scheduled to open in 2022, marking a new chapter for Southwark and the wider Borough Market area.
