Emerging e-tailer The Cherry Moon is set to open its first store next month at 366-368 King’s Road in Chelsea.

The fashion e-tailer, which sells a mix of luxury and emerging independent brands, will offer an innovative store format that mixes retail with customer experience, implementing a chic-minimal décor with an in-store bar area, which it will also use as an event space.

“We wanted to complement our e-commerce platform with a physical store, because of the strong interest from our designers to engage with a high-profile London audience," Elisha Carter, co-founder of The Cherry Moon, said in a statement. "We consider bricks and mortar to be the traditional form of retailing and like to give our customers the opportunity to come in, feel and see our merchandise as part of their shopping journey.”

Jevz Nair, co-founder and head of technology, said: “Being an online-first business, we felt perfectly placed to swim against the narrative, launching a high street presence once we knew that there was an appetite for a blended online and physical approach to retailing."

Hannah Grievson, property director at landlord Sloane Stanley, added: “We are keen to work with emerging retailers and welcome brands that embrace leading trends in the market. The Cherry Moon’s assortment of new international brands will complement the fashion offer on the King’s Road."

The Cherry Moon joins two recent fashion pop-ups to arrive at King’s Road. Unconventional Eastern heritage brand, Vilshenko Maslenitsa, is running a pop-up at number 331 between 25 March and 7 April, while affordable luxury fashion brand, Introvert, is holding a 100 percent sustainable concept pop-up between 18-31 March at number 341.
