Loewe expands Galerie stores across the UK
Loewe will open six more Galerie retail stores in the UK this autumn. They'll be located in Chichester, Kensington, the Lake District, Manchester, Sheffield and Southampton.
This will bring the total number of Loewe Galeries worldwide to 250 by the end of 2009.
The Kensington Galerie in London joins Loewe's other London Galeries in Hampstead, Battersea and concessions in Selfridges and Harrods.
Kevin Kelly, Loewe UK's managing director, says: "This second phase of Galerie openings endorses the great success of our existing Galerie stores since they launched a year ago."
Loewe Galeries can also be found in Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Copenhagen, Rome, Vienna, Moscow and Hong Kong.
The opening of the new stores will coincide with the launch of Loewe's flagship Reference TV.
Comments
Hmmm a poor man's Bang & Olufsen. Now that could be an unkind comment even though it possibly was not meant as one. I'd say it is like BMW and Audi driving there are reasons why people purchase and drive Audi's that confounds BMW drivers and vice versa. Anyway whenever B&O gets around to making an equivalent of the Loewe Connect range I'll happily take a look.
Loewe make pretty TVs, granted, but considering how much they charge for them, does anyone actually buy them? I guess they must do or they wouldn't be expanding. They're a sort of poor man's Bang & Olufsen. I get the point, design wise, but after that I can't see it personally.
Loewe Galeries already in Glasgow and Edinburgh, and Loewe dealers in Belfast...
yeah, or Ireland.
How does this constitue an expansion in the UK??? Where are the Scottish stores??
