Autry opens debut UK store in London
Located at 61-63 Beak Street in Soho, London, Autry has opened a 2,600 square foot store with an immersive design that celebrates the brand's American aesthetics and sport heritage with an Italian twist.
Roberta Benaglia, founder and chief executive of Style Capital, which acquired a majority stake in Autry in March 2024, said in a statement: 'The opening of Autry's first flagship store in London marks a pivotal moment in the brand's journey. It's more than a retail milestone, it brings Autry's iconic values to life through a space that reflects our identity.
'London, with its cultural vibrancy and global spirit, was the natural first stage for this step. This boutique represents a new chapter in our strategy to build a strong international presence and connect with our global community, combining authenticity, quality, and a bold vision for the future.'

Established in 1982, Autry is known for its vintage-style 80s look unisex trainers with a contemporary and performance-focused twist.
Autry joins a series of names on Soho's Beak Street, including Grown Alchemist, the brand's first UK store, as well as Ganni, and Samsøe & Samsøe, and will sit close by activewear brand Tala, which is due to open on Carnaby Street, and Pangaia and Salomon in the neighbourhood.
Will Oliver, retail and restaurant director at landlord Shaftesbury Capital, added: 'Autry's debut UK store continues to spotlight the unparalleled appeal of Soho, and our ability to partner with the best brands around on their physical retail journeys.'

Simon Burstein's The Place London opens on South Molton Street
The Place London, founded by Simon Burstein, former chief executive of Browns, has moved into the site that once occupied luxury fashion emporium Browns, founded by his parents, Joan and Sidney Burstein, in 1970, on South Molton Street in London. Founded in 2015, The Place London originally launched in Connaught Village with two adjacent boutiques: The Place London for womenswear and Leathersmith of London for menswear. The concept expanded to Paris four years later with a sister store on the Left Bank, at 8 Rue de l'Odéon in the 6th arrondissement. The Place London on South Molton Street Credits: The Place London The new London location at 26 South Molton Street spans three levels, with womenswear on the ground floor, Burstein's exclusive menswear label Leathersmith of London on the lower ground floor, and a mezzanine dedicated to Leathersmith's diaries, journals, and stationery. The Place London offers affordable luxury clothing and accessories, ranging from 100 to 1,500, by independent and emerging designers, including American boho label Ulla Johnson, Mii Collection (Made in India), founded by French-Indian duo Bapan Dutta and Lucie Bourreau, which offers vibrant hand-embroidered silks, cottons, and cashmere, Cord, a sustainable brand known for its hand-painted, one-off garments, as well as Pierre-Louis Mascia, and Les Filles d'Ailleurs by Gabriela Lissillour. The Place London on South Molton Street Credits: The Place London Commenting on the opening, Burstein said in a statement: 'A couple of days in, and whilst we loved the neighbourhood of Connaught Village and our loyal local following, we're seeing a very different, more varied customer here on South Molton Street. 'Being positioned between two streets, with entrances on both sides and all three floors visible from outside - not to mention the incredible natural light - is proving a very winning combination. We now have a window to the world here in W1.' The Place London on South Molton Street Credits: The Place London The Place London on South Molton Street Credits: The Place London
