The basement and first floor contains the women’s and lifestyle collections, while the first floor is scheduled to open in 2017 in time for Spring/Summer with the launch of Stradivarius’s first menswear offering.
A prominent glass facade allows natural light to flow into the store helping to connect with the street outside. The atmosphere is one of industrial combined with natural aesthetics, with wood, textured fabric walls and strip lights. The original interior brick walls have been exposed and preserved to create a vintage feel and showcase the #stradivariuslondon hashtag.
