Coach is hoping to make a big impression on Britons with the opening of its first UK store in London’s Westfield shopping center next Friday.
The 3000-square foot space will feature all of the accessories the American brand is famous for, along with a few exclusive designs. The store will join London Westfield’s impressive array of designer stores, which already includes Burberry, Calvin Klein, Prada and Louis Vuitton.
The London space won’t be the only Coach outlet in the United Kingdom for long. The label will open another store in New Bond Street later this summer. These stores are part of Coach’s roll-out into the United Kingdom, which will see 15 outlets open in the region over the next three to five years. It’s expected the move into the UK will net the company $250 million, or £155.5 million, over the next five years.
Do you think the Brits will take to Coach’s brand of affordable luxury?
