Wolf & Badger to open second store

CBRE, the world’s largest commercial real estate firm, has acquired a new London boutique

for Wolf & Badger, the innovative multi-brand store concept. The new location will be on Dover Street, joining a growing number of designer brands including, McQ by Alexander McQueen, Acne and Vanessa Bruno when it opens next month.
 
Wolf & Badger operates a business model designed to support creative design talent, and the space with the boutique is licensed to more than 70 independent design brands, covering fashion, accessories and homeware, with designers keeping a significant percentage of the sales revenue.
 
The 2,681 sq ft store at 32 Dover Street has been acquired on a 10-year lease and will be the retailer’s second store in London, joining its boutique in Notting Hill, which opened in February 2010.
 
Kevin Farrow, Senior Director - Central London Retail, CBRE, commented: “Bond Street has been a high-end shopping destination for more than a hundred years, but recent demand for luxury goods, in particular from Asian and Middle Eastern tourists, has meant this demand has spread into edgier locations such as Dover Street. Wolf & Badger is a successful and innovative retailer with a unique business model - its arrival on Dover Street will cement the area’s reputation as an appealing and improved shopping destination.”
