Russell & Bromley debuts in Birmingham at Bullring

Premium footwear retailer Russell & Bromley has opened its first store in the city of Birmingham at Bullring.

The British business, which is still owned by the Bromley family, has opened a 260sqm store at the centre, which recently welcomed regional debuts from Ben Sherman, New Look Men and make-up brand Smashbox.

Bullring & Grand Central manager Michaela Moore described Russell & Bromley as a "great addition" to Bullring's retail line-up. "The debut in Birmingham marks an important first for Bullring and will soon be joined by a new Coach store later this month, another brand first for the city. These openings cement the centre’s position as the leading regional retail and leisure destination, and are reflective of both Bullring and the city’s ever-growing appeal,” she said.

In a statement Russell & Bromley said: “We are delighted to open our latest store in the iconic Bullring Birmingham location. Bringing luxury shoes and accessories to this exciting city, the store will stock exclusive and hand crafted Italian made Russell & Bromley products for men, women and children.”

Russell & Bromley, which was founded in 1873, has more than 40 stores across the UK, including a flagship on London's Bond Street. As well as its own brand it stocks a range of premium footwear brands such as Stuart Weitzman, Sebago and Lelli Kelly.
