Victoria’s Secret to open a London flagship store

There was much buzz when Victoria’s Secret opened their flagship boutique in Sydney, Australia earlier this year. Until it was revealed that the store would sit behind customs at Sydney’s International Airport meaning every day shoppers wouldn’t be able to check out the stores wares unless they were on their way overseas. Luckily for our European counterparts Victoria’s Secret has announced that they are launching their first flagship store in Europe – on the corner of prestigious New Bond Street and Brook Street in London. No expense seems to be spared with the shop set to stretch across more than 1500 square metres. The store is rumoured to open in 2012 with more due to be announced later this year. [WSJ]
