The designer fashion chain Tessuti will close its anchor store at Belfast’s Victoria Square shopping complex this summer, its owner has confirmed.
The retail brand, which was acquired from JD Sports by the Frasers Group last year, opened its first Irish outlet in Belfast during December 2022.
The designer retail brand took over the 12,900 sq ft former Topshop unit at the William Street entrance to Victoria Square.
A spokesperson from Frasers Group said: “It is with regret that we announce Tessuti Belfast will be closing late Summer.
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank our staff for their hard work and dedication.
“Where possible, we are committed to finding new roles within the Group for staff.”
The closure is the latest blow to Victoria Square following the loss of H&M, River Island and outdoorwear retailer Craghoppers.
Apple is also set to leave Victoria Square in the coming weeks with a new unit opening at The Keep complex, which is nearing completion.
It’s understood the sole Apple retail store on the island of Ireland will open in a new space on the corner of Cornmarket and Castle Arcade.
