A new clothing store has opened in Portsmouth specialising for clothes designed for life on the water.
Henri-Lloyd opened in Gunwharf Quays on Thursday, June 11 as it called the shopping centre the “natural home” for its brand. The business has been about since 1963 selling a range of weatherproof clothing and fashion items for the sailing community.
Stephen Ormerod, Henri-Lloyds head of retail was at the new store opening. He said: “We’re excited to open in Portsmouth, one of the UK’s leading sailing and coastal retail destinations. We already have a strong customer base in the area, and we look forward to showcasing both our current and archive collections to anyone passionate about life on the water.”
Centre Director at Gunwharf Quays, Yvonne Clay, added: “We are always looking to diversify our mix of brands, and Henri-Lloyd makes the perfect addition to our waterfront line-up.
“With Portsmouth's incredible sailing history, we know this store is going to be a hit with both our local community and guests alike.”
The store in Gunwharf is located on the canal side and stocks a curated mix of current collections as well as archived items.
