A new jewellery brand is set to open at Birmingham's Bullring, marking one of its first stores in the United Kingdom. Harli and Harpa has taken over the unit previously occupied by Claire's Accessories, which closed after the chain entered administration. The store, located on the lower ground floor between Subdued and H Samuel, now features signage declaring it is 'coming soon'.
Brand Background
Harli and Harpa is known for its affordable jewellery and was launched by former Lovisa CEO Shane Fallscheer. The brand's arrival comes as Lovisa's Bullring store reopened after six months of renovation. Harli and Harpa joins New Balance as confirmed openings still to come this year at the shopping centre.
Other Developments
Meanwhile, on the upper level, four empty shops have been merged into two larger units. The former Dr Martens store, which relocated opposite, will combine with the former Kate Spade shop to create one larger store. Similarly, the former Breitling boutique, set to close this week, will merge with the former Clarks next door. According to letting documents from Bullring owners Hammerson, one of these units has already been leased. Additionally, the unit under the Rotunda has also been let, though the occupants have not yet been revealed.
