International streetwear retailer Ksubi has established its first standalone location in the UK. Set to release alongside the grand opening is a limited-edition collaboration with London-based artist Slawn. Ksubi was founded in 1999 in Sydney, Australia, by a group of designers who shared a common goal in the spirit of individuality and authenticity. After 23 years in operation, the company has grown into a global movement supported by its devoted celebrity following, which includes musicians like A$AP Rocky and Travis Scott.
Luxury features on the first floor include a red marble cash desk and a striking concrete ceiling. The store also boasts grey granite display plinths and personalized clothes rails. The basement level will include workshops for customer personalization and an upscale private shopping area designed to accommodate Ksubi's VIP clients.
