The 800 sq ft (75 sq m) unit on King Street stocks the whole Simon Carter range, from jeans and t-shirts to cufflinks and shirts.
The brand is the brainchild of British designer Simon Carter, who has an extensive fashion career spanning 20 years. His first store opened at London’s Covent Garden in September.
“We have a very loyal fan base in Manchester and I believe that establishing a strong retail identity in Manchester is vital to the long-term growth of the brand,” he said.
“Manchester customers are very influential in fashion and I’m delighted that our second store will be here. It’s nearly as big as Covent Garden, which shows how much we value Manchester.”
The designer, who opened his first North American store in Toronto last year, plans to roll out the brand across the UK.
The Manchester store boasts some unusual features, including 1940s Aeroplane Magazine covers and red warning lights outside the changing rooms, which can be switched on by customers from inside.
