After a brief Twitter exchange whilst researching for an upcoming Leeds-based project (more on that soon!), we were given the heads-up that Oliver Sweeney had just reopened their store in the beautiful Victorian Quarter. In fact, I'd go so far to say that this old Victorian arcade is one of the most stunning places I could imagine a store to be location. Nice one Sweens!

The store itself is typically Oliver Sweeney; with dark brown wood and off-white steel fixtures, and dimly lit lighting, against dark marine blue and dove grey walls. Neater in size to their Covent Garden store, but still generously stocked with their latest range of casual shoes, modern sneakers, Goodyear welt collection, and more formal offerings. Alongside the footwear there's a decent selection of jackets, sweatshirts, knitwear and accessories. The staff were also buzzing about the well-stocked fridge, which has just been decked out with local beers, ready for the pouring.
 
In the arcade you'll also find stores by Jigsaw, Whistles, Reiss, Culter & Gross, Kiehl's, Paul Smith, just to name a few. It's a busy old place, and well worth a visit if you're in Yorkshire.
