  • March 29 2016 NEWS RELEASE PALOMA SELECTS ST DAVID's
    March 29 2016 NEWS RELEASE PALOMA SELECTS ST DAVID’S FOR ITS WELSH DEBUT The St David’s Partnership, owners of St David’s in Cardiff, one of the UK’s premier retail and leisure destinations, has today announced that Paloma, the independent Italian fashion brand, has opened its first store in Wales at the centre. The 2,000 sq ft Paloma boutique is located on St David’s Grand Arcade, opposite The White Company, and officially launched on March 25. Designed by an in-house team, the store will feature Paloma’s trademark Italian designer womenswear and accessory collections. Currently trading from a store in Brighton, St David’s marks the beginning of an expansion plan for the brand, as it targets key locations in the UK to create a select number of flagship stores. This follows a successful year for the St David’s Partnership, a joint venture between intu and Land Securities, which secured over 90,000 sq ft of lettings and a number of key store openings last year, including the largest H&M store in the UK. Speaking on behalf of the St David’s Partnership, Colin Flinn, regional director at intu, said: “Paloma is a very strong addition to St David’s line-up, adding to the mix of independent retailers that complement the major high street brands. Our strategy of developing St David’s mix in this way ensures the centre remains not only the number one retail and leisure destination in Wales, but one of the most in-demand centres in the country.” Mandhir Shukla, operations director of Paloma added: “St David’s, Cardiff is a fantastic opportunity for Paloma.
