Shop Profile The Kooples' First Yorkshire Store

The Parisian brand moves into York's designer outlet. Suffice to say, we're excited

Shop Profile: The Kooples' First Yorkshire Store

There is excitement in the fashion camp up here in the north of England following the opening of ultra-chic Parisian brand The Kooples’ first ever outlet store at Yorkshire’s McArthurGlen York Designer Outlet.

The Kooples is the place to go for oh-so-Parisian sharp, chic, vintage-inspired fashion for both men and women. It has only been going for four years, but brothers Alexander, Laurent and Raphael Elicha (sexy, eh?) have already opened 194 stores across Europe (with 27 in the UK alone) and they don’t show signs of slowing down as they make their debut in Yorkshire.

The Kooples says: "Our store at McArthurGlen’s York Designer Outlet not only marks our first step into outlet retailing, it’s also our first store in Yorkshire. By sitting alongside other leading designer and high street brands we’re able to reach over 3.5 million shoppers a year with an appetite for premium, on-trend fashion.”

With a distinctive focus on celebrating the style of couples, The Kooples puts together lookbooks to suit different couples with different personalities and takes inspiration from great fashion icons and mixes it with a love of all things vintage. Currently featuring dark autumnal colours and berry reds in their simple and stylish garments, The Kooples also has a penchant for little black dresses for the ladies and sharp tailoring pour hommes.

It’s not just fashion that makes The Kooples creators tick though, they’ve even got their own record label, supporting couples who perform indie, rock, electro, pop and folk music. At this moment in time, we cannot think of anything cooler.

The Kooples store will sit nicely alongside the likes of Aquascutum, Gieves and Hawkes and LK Bennett at the York Designer Outlet. There is no doubt that the sleek tailoring will be a hit with visitors to the outlet centre, which offers shoppers over 120 leading designer and high street fashion brands, all up to 60% less. It’s a must visit for those looking for quality, stylish clothing at great prices.
