Oliver Bonas has taken a 1,800 sq ft unit at Westquay in Southampton, and will be opening at the shopping centre in time for Christmas.

This will be the British lifestyle company’s second site on the south coast.

Since its inception in 1993, the fashion and homeware business has grown to become a leading retailer on the UK high street with over 70 stores and an eclectic range of fashion, jewellery, accessories, homeware and furniture. 

Oliver Tress, founder and managing director, said the brand is “so excited” to open at Westquay.

“We have a carefully curated collection of our homeware, gifts and fashion, all designed in-house in our OB Studio, and have a fabulous team in store,” he said.

Fragrance specialist Molton Brown has also recently opened at the shopping centre, as well as several other brands including The White Company, escape room concept Locked in a Room, and Chopstix Noodle Bar.

Iain Mitchell, UK commercial director at Hammerson, said: “The most successful brands are the ones that combine a strong online platform with experiential, engaging stores to provide a seamless experience for customers, and that’s exactly what Oliver Bonas delivers. What’s more, its unique, design-led products really set the brand apart.”

Oliver Bonas has almost 20 stores in London, plus further locations throughout England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
