Greater Manchester retail and leisure destination Intu Trafford Centre has welcomed high-end accessories brand Coach, with the luxury retailer’s first standalone store in the north west of England.

Designed by Coach’s in-house team, the new 657 sq ft store features a new modern luxury interior concept which includes leather furniture and bespoke fittings. The boutique offers a full range of both men’s and women’s leather goods.

Work is currently underway on the £75 million transformation of intu Trafford Centre’s Barton Square which will add another 110,000 sq ft of space to the popular retail and leisure destination.

Colin Flinn, regional managing director at intu, said: “Coach is the perfect addition to the centre’s unrivalled line up of retail and leisure. Nowhere else in the UK outside of London can draw on such a large and affluent population so we know Coach will thrive here.

“Our work at intu Trafford Centre is focused on helping all our customers flourish, and creating a destination with a ‘wow factor’ that will bring more brands and unique experiences to make our visitors smile. We’re investing millions of pounds to enhance the centre’s retail and leisure offering by transforming Barton Square and creating 110,000 sq ft of additional space for new brands.”
