ELEMIS has opened its first UK store at 23 Monmouth Street in Covent Garden’s Seven Dials neighbourhood. ELEMIS joins Covent Garden’s significant line-up of cosmetics and beauty brands. This entrance reaffirms the neighbourhood’s position as the UK’s leading destination for beauty and wellness, showcasing Shaftesbury Capital’s active collaboration with sector-leading brands.
ELEMIS’s Seven Dials store, spanning approximately 1,000 sq ft, has been designed to bring their feel-good skincare to life. The space fully immerses customers, boasting interactive features such as a product play table with digital halo screens that reflect the weather to bring the outside in, aligning with ELEMIS’s commitment to harnessing the power of natural ingredients and scientific innovation. An in-store scent experience enables visitors to experience the distinct aromatics of ELEMIS’s Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, and an LED kinetic wall surrounds the treatment area, featuring a bespoke organic pattern that evokes the vibrational frequency of plants. The new Monmouth Street location has been mindfully created, using sustainable materials and featuring a specialised multi-brand ‘Beauty Drop & Swap’ recycling area, where customers can recycle existing beauty product packaging in exchange for a complimentary Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm 10g.
In a nod to ELEMIS’s spa heritage and 360-degree approach to skin wellness, it has developed four new treatments available exclusively in the new retail space, all of which start with a comprehensive skin consultation.
ELEMIS’s debut store further enhances the vibrant line-up of premium cosmetics brands in Covent Garden, reinforcing its position as the beauty and wellness capital of the UK. ELEMIS joins a host of well-renowned beauty retailers, including Charlotte Tilbury, Chanel, Glossier, Guerlain, NARS, and Tom Ford, as well as a range already on Seven Dials’ Monmouth Street, including Aesop, DECIEM, Kiehl’s, and Le Labo.
Michelle McGrath, Executive Director, Shaftesbury Capital, commented: “Marking yet another debut from a globally renowned retailer, Covent Garden is the perfect destination for a leading beauty pioneer to flourish and innovate with its debut standalone store. This expansion underscores Covent Garden’s reputation as a premier destination for ground-breaking beauty experiences and is further evidence of the continued momentum of leasing activity in the Seven Dials neighbourhood.”
Susan Harvey, UK General Manager at ELEMIS, commented: “As a beauty brand deeply rooted in British heritage, Covent Garden’s historic Seven Dials neighbourhood is the perfect home for our first-ever stand-alone store. We are delighted to bring our vision to life and create a multi-faceted, immersive space that reflects ELEMIS’s character, where even more people can experience our holistic approach to skin wellness and innovation.”
