UK/25th November 2024:
House of Cavani (HoC), a renowned British menswear brand inspired by Italian fashion, has officially opened its first store in Sheffield, creating eight new jobs in the local community.
Spanning 2,500sqft, it is HoC’s third largest retail store to date and reflects the brand’s ambitious growth plans to open 13 additional stores across the UK and MENA region by the end of 2026.
Situated in Orchard Square, a vibrant open-air shopping destination in Sheffield City Centre, the new store introduces a distinctive mix of traditional and avant-garde Italian fashion to the city. The opening highlights HoC’s commitment to independent retail growth with its latest Italian-inspired menswear collection.
The Sheffield store’s interior exemplifies Milanese contemporary design, featuring rustic wooden flooring, panelled walls, artificial green turf, and low-hanging ceiling lights, creating an inviting atmosphere that balances luxury with comfort.
Coinciding with Sheffield’s Revitalisation Efforts
The store opening aligns with Sheffield’s broader regeneration in the city centre, which aims to attract businesses and foster economic growth from Orchard Square to the High Street.
Speaking about the new store, Sukhi Mondair, CEO of HoC, said: “We are thrilled to open our new store in the heart of Sheffield during an exciting time for the city. Sheffield has cultivated a vibrant community and is attracting new and dynamic businesses.
“This marks our 17th store since we established just five years ago, and we are on track to open 13 more over the next two years.
“The new Sheffield store is a true reflection of Milanese décor and lifestyle. Paired with the exceptional customer service we are known for, we are confident the local community will enjoy the elevated retail experience we offer in Sheffield.”
Boosting Local Jobs and the Economy
The new store is one of several recent openings by HoC that collectively aim to create 200 jobs nationwide, further supporting local economies.
Councillor Ben Miskell, Chair of the Transport, Regeneration, and Climate Policy Committee, at Sheffield City Council, said: “I’m delighted to welcome House of Cavani to the city centre, a city centre that is changing, transforming into a cleaner, greener and more thriving place for people to do their shopping.
“We are incredibly proud of Sheffield with the city centre having many fantastic elements to bring people in who live, work and enjoy the city. House of Cavani is a wonderful menswear shop and will complement perfectly the other stores we have in the city. It is a fantastic addition to our transforming city centre.”
Strategic Location in Sheffield’s Cultural Hub
The new store enjoys proximity to iconic landmarks such as Sheffield Cathedral, The Crucible Theatre – famous for hosting the World Snooker Championship – and the picturesque Peace Gardens near Sheffield Town Hall.
A Rapidly Growing Brand
Since opening its first store in 2019, HoC has experienced exponential growth, now operating in major cities including Birmingham, Newcastle, Peterborough, Milton Keynes and Cambridge. Together, these stores have created more than 100 jobs in the past four years.
The Sheffield opening follows the successful relocation of HoC’s Birmingham flagship store in 2023 to a larger site, in Lichfield Road, Aston.
