TM Lewin, the expert shirtmaker and tailor, and Fiorelli, a leading UK manufacturer of handbags and accessories, each opened their first outlet stores inside the M25 last Saturday at Wembley Park's London Designer Outlet (LDO).

Both TM Lewin and Fiorelli opened at LDO over the final May Bank Holiday weekend to become the latest brands to launch outlets at the centre. They join a host of other high-profile brands - brought to LDO by asset managers Realm - including Jack Wills, Franklin & Marshall, Levi's and Sony.

The new signings are just the latest indicators of the continued growing popularity of LDO, which delivered a 21% rise in like-for-like sales, and footfall up by 15% to 6.5 million over the year to 31 March 2016. LDO is forecasting 7 million guests in 2016.

TM Lewin's store brings business apparel and tailoring to LDO, further broadening its appeal as a shopping destination. Established in 1898 on Jermyn Street, London's world-famous road for shirtmakers and tailors, TM Lewin's store at LDO will be its first outlet store within the M25.

The TM Lewin brand - with new stores set to launch globally, including in Europe, Singapore and Australia - is trusted by customers for its excellent craftsmanship, quality and value, as well as its tailoring service to fit men and women of all builds. It caters perfectly to the growing community of working Londoners choosing to live at Wembley Park, as well as LDO's guests who travel to the centre from far and wide.
