Mulberry to close Paris shop until international tourism restarts

The soon to be vacated property is located in Rue Saint Honoré, renowned for its high-end shops

Mulberry Group PLC (LON:MUL) announced it is terminating the lease of its store in Paris earlier than planned and will reopen a shop in the city once international tourism restarts.

The luxury fashion designer said it will receive £13.2mln once it leaves the site, which is located in Rue Saint Honoré, renowned for its high-end shops.

It added that the net proceeds after tax, expected to be around £10.8mln, will strengthen its cash position and support other investment opportunities.

As at 27 March, the book value of the property in the company's accounts was £7.9mln.

The AIM-listed firm plans to move out in September.

The new site, whenever it may open again, will be in a location that supports Mulberry’s “omnichannel approach and optimises its customer-centric retail experience”.
