International travel and lifestyle retailer TUMI has launched its first store in northern England at Victoria Leeds, adding to the destination’s growing reputation for securing city and regional debuts. Owned and operated by Redical, Victoria Leeds now hosts the globally recognised luggage brand within the Victoria Quarter.
The 517 sq ft store features a minimalist design and stocks a broad range of premium travel accessories including luggage, backpacks, and seasonal lines. A monogramming service is also available, offering personalisation options for customers.
Rachel Bradburn, Head of Leasing at Redical, said: “Our ability to entice leading retailers looking to open milestone stores has been affirmed once more by TUMI’s opening in Victoria Quarter. The brand’s premium stock mirrors the quality of the tenants we continually secure, and we know that our gradual accumulation of leading retailers places us firmly a step above the rest.”
Deepak Patel, Brand Manager at TUMI, added: “As summer approaches and visitors prepare to jet off, now is the perfect time for us to launch our first northern store and doing so in partnership with Victoria Leeds will truly give TUMI the attention it deserves. As Victoria Leeds already possesses a stellar reputation, we can confidently proceed with the knowledge that we are sitting amongst retail’s best of the best.”
The TUMI opening follows the recent debut of premium fashion label Nobody’s Child at Victoria Gate, where it introduced a range of womenswear, accessories, and newly launched footwear. Both additions are seen as reinforcing the destination’s profile for attracting high-end retailers new to the region.
Victoria Leeds continues to house an extensive mix of luxury and high-street brands, with recent additions including Cambridge Satchel, Coach, Mulberry, and Louis Vuitton. Its diverse offering spans fashion, dining, and entertainment, and is supported by regular city events and a prominent rooftop social space.
Property agencies Lunson Mitchenall and Central Retail represented Redical in the leasing transaction.
