Dune London proudly announces the opening of its newly relocated and expanded store at Lakeside Shopping Centre, Essex.

The store, which opened yesterday, boasts a spacious 1,597 sq ft sales floor and showcases Dune London’s latest premium store concept, meticulously designed in-house by the brand’s store development team. This new concept features a sophisticated neutral colour palette, incorporating gold, stone, and warm cream tones to beautifully complement Dune London’s men’s and women’s premium footwear and accessories collections.

The interior is brought to life with textured, hessian-toned wall coverings and bold, spacious seating areas, creating an inviting atmosphere that perfectly aligns with the brand’s elevated aesthetic. Dune London’s iconic DD logo monogram adds a touch of elegance, serving as an ideal backdrop to present the brand’s luxury collections.

The relocated store is set to benefit from increased visibility within the shopping centre, featuring a striking new storefront complete with an integrated media screen and a prominent window tower.

Nigel Darwin, CEO of The Dune Group, shared his excitement about the launch: “We are excited to open this new, larger Dune London store in Lakeside, showcasing our very latest store concept, giving our customers the best environment to experience our fantastic ranges of shoes and bags. Lakeside is a vibrant shopping destination, and we can’t wait to welcome long-term and new customers into our Dune London store!”

Howard Oldstein, Centre Director at Lakeside Shopping Centre, added: “We’re thrilled to see Dune London move into their new, larger unit at Lakeside. This move, coupled with their decision to showcase their new retail concept to UK shoppers with us for the first time, highlights the brand’s success within the centre. We’re excited for our visitors to enjoy everything Dune London has to offer.”

The Lakeside store is part of Dune London’s expanding presence in the UK, now with 52 standalone stores and 8 concessions. Internationally, the brand has a significant footprint with locations in the Netherlands, Switzerland, the USA, and across 18 other markets, including the Middle East, India, and Australia.

The new Lakeside store will feature Dune London’s latest AW24 collection for both women and men. For women, highlights include the brand’s original 90s leopard print, the return of the sculptural comma heel, an XL version of the woven Deliberate bag, and the standout night cherry colourway.
