Inspired by the opulent bathrooms of the late Victoria era, the store features timber-panelled cabinets and vintage stacked bookshelves, seamlessly weaving itself into the original features of the Grade II listed Victoria Quarter. Rachel Bradburn, leasing director at Victoria Leeds, said: “Welcoming Aesop as our first store opening of 2025 sets an exciting precedent for what is to come at Victoria Leeds this year.

“We celebrated a successful 2024 which cemented us as the go to destination for luxury brand debuts outside of London, further evidenced by Aesop’s decision to open their first Northern store with us. 2025 looks to be another year of brand firsts, new and exciting concepts, as well as enhanced customer and brand offerings, so watch this space.”

This latest announcement follows the news that Victoria Leeds bucked national trends in 2024, celebrating successful performance that saw December and annual sales increases, record-breaking footfall, notable new brand signings, as well as several refits and upsizes.
