Esprit is launching a wholesale operation in the UK this summer as part of a bid to grow its distribution following the closure of its Bluewater store.

The wholesale collection, on sale from August 1st, will include women's men's and children's wear as accessories. It will be targeted at department stores and major independent retailers. Esprit is also hoping to build a network of franchises in the UK.

The company is setting up a UK head-office and showroom in Clerkenwell, Central London. Esprit is aspiring to have 500 wholesale accounts and franchise stores across the UK in the next two years. The brand is already sold in 35 John Lewis stores through the German wholesale operation.

Two weeks ago Esprit announced that it is closing its store in the Bluewater shopping centre in Kent, leaving Regent Street flagship in London as its only store.
