Liberty to re-open children's department

Famed London department store, Liberty, is to re-open its

children’s department in February 2012.

Customer demand is such that the third floor department will return after six years, with Liberty’s own Kids line due later next year.

"It's demand-driven," Liberty managing director Ed Burstell told Drapers. "Kidswear is one of the main things we get asked about in store. We'll take the same approach as we do with women's and men's fashion - an eclectic mix that blurs the line between designer and contemporary - just great product."
