Harrods has recently undergone a significant expansion of its fashion offering. The renowned British retailer has introduced two new dedicated rooms, totalling 10,000 square feet, to meet the growing demands of its discerning clientele. These rooms are dedicated to holiday and swimwear, as well as evening and occasion wear, and mark a significant step in Harrods’ journey to offer an unparalleled shopping experience.
This strategic expansion comes in response to a significant increase in demand for eveningwear at Harrods. In 2021 alone, the luxury department store has seen a 50% increase in this category, a clear indication of the changing preferences and needs of its customers. The new space is not only expansive, but also thoughtfully designed, with four large fitting rooms and a selection of 38 brands available on the shop floor. This diverse offering ensures that every customer’s unique style and preferences are catered for.

The holiday and swim rooms feature permanent collections from esteemed brands such as Missoni, Zimmermann, Eres and Anya Hindmarch. They also host long-term pop-ups such as Pucci and Le Double J, offering customers a varied and dynamic shopping experience.
