Fourth store in London heralds Jesire UK growth

Fashion label Jesire opens its fourth standalone store in London's Broadgate next month, part of a year-long period of expansion for the Hong Kong-owned company.

As well as four John Lewis concessions due to open over the period in Southampton, Peterborough, Cambridge and Windsor, the retailer is seeking premises in towns including Brighton, Leeds and Guildford.

Part of Toppy International, owned by the Fang brothers of Hong Kong, Jesire has been in the UK for the past nine years. The business trades as Jessica in nearly 100 outlets in the Middle and Far East. In the UK and Ireland, it has 55 outlets, mainly concessions.
