Its collection of designer brands includes Polo Ralph Lauren, Emporio Armani, Billionaire Boys Club, Mallet, Moose Knuckles, and Versace Jeans Couture.
The addition of Jervis will bring Tessuti’s total number of stores to 35, including stores in iconic cities such as Liverpool, Manchester, Chester, and Leeds. Established in 1985, the retailer has ambitious expansion plans including the launch of a prime store at Belfast’s Victoria Square this year and a further flagship in Glasgow in 2023.

Darragh Cronin of Savills, who represented the Landlord commented: “The news of Tessuti coming to not only Ireland but Jervis is a long awaited and fantastic addition to Dublin’s city centre. With the city centres retail scene thriving after the Covid closures this will be an excellent new destination for the area.
