The deal with John Lewis means Topshop will be available in 32 John Lewis stores nationwide while Topman will be present in six stores.
“We’re excited to partner with John Lewis, a trusted name in British retail, to bring Topshop and Topman to high streets across the country,” said Topshop managing director Michelle Wilson.
“This partnership is a key step in our mission to bring the best of fashion to everyone, engaging with shoppers in real life and delivering the style and quality they expect from our brands,” Wilson added.
John Lewis has been upping the ante in fashion since the return to the business of managing director Peter Ruis early last year. It recently announced it was adding 100 new brands to its fashion offer.
Ruis commented on the latest signing: “Bringing Topshop and Topman back to high streets across the UK is a landmark moment, and we are thrilled to be their only nationwide partner. It’s the ultimate proof of our strategy: offering the most-loved brands alongside the unwavering trust of our brand promise. I grew up with these incredible brands. They have defined our high streets, bringing edge and accessibility with an iconic British lens.”
The launch will introduce a fresh in-store experience that blends Topshop and Topman’s fashion-forward identity with the quality and service customers experience at John Lewis, the businesses said.
Shoppers can expect a curated selection of Topshop’s most-loved pieces, including cult denim styles, statement jackets, and trend-led wardrobe staples. Topman will offer a focused edit of modern menswear essentials, from tailored outerwear to everyday basics, designed to elevate any look.
