One of the leading names in British fashion is set to open an operation in Birmingham.

Aquascutum, which makes much of its clothing at its factory in Corby, will be opening a concession within the current Jaeger store at the Mailbox.

The Aquascutum deal is another significant coup for the Mailbox which is already home to high-end retailers such as Harvey Nichols, Thomas Pink and Armani and, despite there being a number of vacant units at the mixed-use scheme, it remains one of the region’s most exclusive shopping destinations.

This year, the Mailbox’s sister development, The Cube, is set to be launched with the developers hoping to attract a raft of new retailers to the development.
