It will be Karen Millen’s first physical store in the UK in the four years since the brand was sold to Boohoo.
British womenswear brand Karen Millen is returning to central London by opening a store on Great Portland Street. The official launch of the pop-up store is scheduled for the last week of February.
It is reported that the new store will feature the latest Karen Millen collections, from casual models to occasion pieces. All goods will be available in a wide size range and a choice of different sizes and figure types.
The new pop-up store will also offer customers additional services, including custom shopping, a beauty corner with various treatments, free alterations in collaboration with The Seam tailoring company, and a bar that serves rosé wine throughout the day. The store will be open to the public with no appointment required.
“Karen Millen is thrilled to be back on Main Street for the weekend, which allows us to reconnect with loyal customers, both old and new. It will also give people a chance to see firsthand the quality of our assortment and purchase our newest collections, as well as enjoy a self-care moment in our beauty corner and in our bar,” commented Karen Millen Director Natasha Hackett.
