Talking about Goods launch, Samantha Bain-Mollison, Retail Director at Shaftesbury, said: “Sustainability has actually always been a crucial factor when selecting sellers for Seven Dials; we have consistently worked difficult to curate a genuine line-up of merchants with strong sustainable qualifications across our location, which in the style sphere consists of names such as the just recently released COW Vintage as well as Goldsmith Vintage and Pop Boutique. It is fantastic to be the house of Goods brand-new flagship store, which fits so well within our town offering and will be especially interesting the continuously evolving, more conscious customer.”
David Brinson, Co-Founder of Good included: “Seven Dials is such a dynamic community and to be amongst numerous other similar brand names is ideal for our flagship London store. We were really selective when looking for our next place, and Seven Dials, with its exceptional sustainability principles and mix of huge name and independent premium brand names, formed the best location for us to go for. Within the vintage industry, we are counting on bricks and mortar retail and we are happy to be dealing with a property manager that completely supports our brand name aims.”
