Portsmouth the ‘natural home’ for the sailing brand
A new clothing store is set to open in Portsmouth this month with the sailing brand “excited” to welcome customers.
Henri-Lloyd is opening the new shop on Thursday, June 11 in Gunwharf Quays. The storied brand has been about since 1963 selling a range of weatherproof clothing and fashion items for the sailing community.
A Henri-Lloyd spokesperson said: “Portsmouth is a natural home for the brand, with a strong sailing heritage and an active watersports community. The new store will bring Henri-Lloyd’s technical and lifestyle collections closer to customers who live and work by the water.”
The store in Gunwharf is located on the canal side and will stock a curated mix of current collections as well as archived items.
Henri-Lloyd’s Head of Retail, Stephen Ormerod, says “We’re excited to open in Portsmouth, one of the UK’s leading sailing and coastal retail destinations. We already have a strong customer base in the area, and we look forward to showcasing both our current and archive collections to anyone passionate about life on the water.”
Centre Director at Gunwharf Quays, Yvonne Clay, added: “We are always looking to diversify our mix of brands, and Henri-Lloyd makes the perfect addition to our waterfront lineup.
“With Portsmouth's incredible sailing history, we know this store is going to be a hit with both our local community and guests alike. We look forward to seeing our guests explore the new space and experience the Henri-Lloyd offering when the doors open next week.”
