Cornish lifestyle brand Seasalt Cornwall is pleased to announce the opening of its latest store in Ilkley. Located in the heart of the town’s vibrant shopping street, the new shop brings Seasalt’s signature coastal-inspired collections and commitment to sustainable craftsmanship to the Yorkshire spa town.
As a retailer with more than 1,000 employees, the new shop demonstrates the brand’s continued support for physical retail. The Ilkley store will employ a team of 9, led by Store Manager Tanya Goffe, offering customers a warm, personal shopping experience from a knowledgeable in-store team.
The brand-new store will open its doors to a 1,724 sq ft shop and the shop fit in Ilkley is sympathetic to the building’s grand façade. A secondary entrance has been opened to enable all customers full access and a great shopping experience. The store will follow the style of recent Seasalt openings and represents the next generation of retail design for the brand. The forward-thinking space reflects Seasalt’s commitment to sustainability, thoughtful design and an enhanced customer experience. Fixtures and furnishings have been carefully selected for their responsible sourcing, durability and adaptability, ensuring the store can evolve with the needs of both the business and its customers. The interior will also showcase a curated selection of artwork and personal touches for customers to get a sense of Cornwall and Seasalt’s ethos.
Seasalt’s Director of Retail, Richie Edwards, said: “We’re excited to be opening a new Seasalt Cornwall shop in Ilkley. It’s a wonderful town with a strong sense of community and a thriving independent retail scene. We’re passionate about creating a welcoming shopping experience, and we look forward to meeting our loyal customers as well as introducing Seasalt to new shoppers in Ilkley and the surrounding area.”
Inspired by Cornwall’s wild landscape and vibrant artistic culture, Seasalt’s team of in-house designers and artists create every collection from their studios overlooking Falmouth Bay on the southwest coast. The brand prides itself on creating clothing and accessories that are made to last, crafting timeless styles from durable natural fabrics including GOTS-certified organic cotton, merino wool, bamboo-derived viscose and linen. Inclusivity is incredibly important to Seasalt, and the clothing range offers a diverse choice of fits.
With its distinctive mix of artistic prints and Cornish-inspired colour palettes, Seasalt is excited to bring stylish apparel and accessories to the shoppers of Ilkley. Womenswear collections will feature seasonal pieces designed to take customers through the Spring Summer months, including beautifully printed and plain dresses, textured linen styles, light but warming layers. The collection also includes key jersey tops, including Seasalt’s hero Sailor Shirt, as well as jeans in a variety of fits. The rainwear department features a mix of fashion-forward and practical styles, all 100% waterproof. Accessories provide the finishing touch, with jewellery, statement bags and distinctive printed scarves. The Ilkley store will also showcase the Seasalt menswear range, with essential outfitting pieces paired with easy-to-wear knitwear and shirts that will see customers comfortably through the season.
Seasalt Cornwall looks forward to welcoming locals and visitors to the new Ilkley store and sharing its coastal-inspired collections with the Yorkshire community. The opening celebration event will take place on Saturday 4th April at 9 Brook Street, LS29 8AA and there will be 20% off (almost everything) all weekend, goody bags, including Seasalt items, for the first 30 customers through the doors.
