The global streetwear brand will open its doors with a launch party on 23 October, as one of the largest shops in the refurbished Brewery Quarter.

It was announced on Facebook in early October, with over a thousand people interested and over 250 confirmed to attend.

The party will welcome Cheltenham with live music & DJ sets, a £500 giveaway, drinks, competitions and a free photo booth. The High Street opening of this 8,000 square foot store will feature shelves filled with stylish clothes, thrifty finds and homeware.

A spokeswoman from the Brewery Quarter said: “We’re very much looking forward to them opening. It sets the tone of the scheme going forward and the retailers who we’re hoping will come off the back of this opening.”

After starting out as a boutique in 1970s Philadelphia, the store is now home to brands such as Vivienne Westwood, Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger.

The Cheltenham store is set to be the 30th to open in the UK.
