Osprey London to open London flagship store

British lifestyle brand Osprey London, known for its

heritage-inspired leather bags and accessories, is opening its new flagship on London’s Regent Street in the New Year.

Housed in a Grade II listed building, the flagship at 27 Regent Street St James will span more than 5,000 square feet over two floors and will stock the brand’s Osprey London and O.S.P Osprey lines for men and women. In addition, the flagship will also house an exclusive limited edition Osprey London collection consisting of luxury leather goods, silks, jewellery and accessories.

The new store will also reflect the brand’s diversifying product portfolio, which includes a recent foray into food, as well as furniture and accessories, and will include a hospitality area in the style of its Saddlery Cafe at its Osprey St Albans lifestyle store.

Commenting on the new store, founder and creative director Graeme Ellisdon said: “As one of the most important cities in the world, we consider this move into London a significant milestone in the company’s growth.

“The new flagship store will embody the core brand values that tie the different collections and lifestyle categories of the brand together.”

Ellisdon established Osprey London in 1980 with an investment of just 500 pounds. The brand currently operates nine stores in the UK, and is stocked in department stores including John Lewis.
