Heritage outdoor lifestyle brand Dubarry of Ireland is gearing to open a 1,362 sq ft flagship store at 6 Conduit Street in London’s Mayfair this summer, following the signing of a six-year lease with London landlord The Crown Estate.
The move represents an expansion from Dubarry’s existing Sloane Square location in Chelsea, giving the brand a stronger presence in central London and a prominent position close to Regent Street.
Founded in Galway in 1937, Dubarry combines traditional craftsmanship with technical performance across men’s and women’s clothing, footwear and accessories.
The brand launched its first physical retail space in Dublin in 2012, followed by its first UK store in London in 2013, and Cheltenham in Gloucestershire in 2016. The latest signing marks the next stage in its UK growth following another recent opening in Edinburgh.
Dubarry of Ireland is the latest heritage-led brand to join The Crown Estate’s West End portfolio, sitting alongside iconic names such as Burberry, Barbour and Mulberry, as well as British travel brand Antler which opened a store on Regent Street in April.
Michael Walsh, Marketing Director at Dubarry of Ireland, said: “Opening our new flagship store in The Crown Estate’s portfolio marks an exciting milestone for Dubarry. This location gives us the opportunity to showcase the full breadth of our collection in a setting that reflects both our heritage and our commitment to quality craftsmanship.
“As a brand with deep roots in Ireland, we are delighted to bring the Dubarry experience to one of London’s most prestigious retail destinations and look forward to welcoming both loyal customers and new audiences through our doors.”
Laura Thursfield, Retail Leasing Director at The Crown Estate, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Dubarry of Ireland to its new UK flagship store on Conduit Street. With its reputation for craftsmanship, quality and timeless design, the brand is ideally suited to the premium retail mix around Regent Street.
“This signing reflects our continued focus on curating a balanced retail offer across the West End, bringing together established names, newer brands and evolving concepts that add variety, quality and character. This blend helps ensure the area continues to appeal to a broad range of visitors while maintaining its position as a world class destination for shopping, leisure and hospitality.”
The signing reinforces The Crown Estate’s strategy to curate a strong mix of quality heritage brands across the Regent Street area. Adjacent streets such as Conduit Street play an important role, providing a complementary location to Regent Street for brands seeking central London visibility, strong footfall and access to a broad customer base of shoppers, residents, office workers and visitors.
