Premium fashion retailer Tessuti has marked its debut in Northern Ireland with a flagship store at Belfast retail and leisure destination Victoria Square.

Part of JD Sports Fashion, Tessuti has opened a 12,900 sq ft unit at the prime William Street entrance to Victoria Square. The store stocks designer collections for men, women, and children, including brands such as Polo Ralph Lauren, Billionaire Boys Club, Parajumpers, Versace Jeans Couture, Moose Knuckles, Sandbanks, and Emporio Armani.

Russell Banham, UK Head at Commerz Real, added: “Tessuti’s first luxury flagship store provides Victoria Square’s visitors with yet another unique shopping experience. Tessuti delivers a vast selection of designer brands under one roof which extends the overall breadth of our retail offer. We have no doubt that Tessuti will play a central role in the growth of our scheme for 2023.”

Commerz Real also noted the opening of Tessuti follows a successful third quarter at Victoria Square in 2022 with sales up by 20% against the same period in 2019. In addition, the destination has secured over 85,000 sq ft of signings, openings and re-gears in the past six months including Sweaty Betty, Whistles (its first Irish store) and Gilly Hicks.
