Outlet Shopping at The O2, which is owned and operated by AEG Europe and Crosstree Real Estate, has announced the opening of Carvela, the footwear and accessories retailer. It marks the first opening since The O2’s revision of its outlet shopping brand identity.
Occupying a 2,056sq ft unit opposite Hobbs, this opening marks Carvela’s seventh bricks-and-mortar outlet store in the UK, reinforcing the consistent appeal of outlets within the retailer’s portfolio.
The opening of Carvela represents the further diversification of the retail line-up at Outlet Shopping at The O2 which has seen significant growth in the last year, with the destination welcoming French Connection’s first outlet store in six years, as well as witnessing significant upsizes and recommitments from several global brands in the last six months, such as Lids, Calvin Klein, and Tommy Hilfiger.
The opening of Carvela follows the recent arrival of Le Creuset at The O2 in a shop adjacent to REISS, and opposite Calvin Klein and Gant on the outlet’s upper level.
Louisa Dalgleish, leasing director at Outlet Shopping at The O2, also said: “We’re so excited to welcome Carvela to The O2, with this launch once again demonstrating the appeal of our destination to global retailers. This year we’ve witnessed continuous with new well-known brands joining, existing retailers upsizing or renewing their commitment and our pop-up spaces thriving. We are in such a strong position as we move into the final quarter of the year and look forward for what’s to come for Outlet Shopping at The O2.”
