When Harvey Nichols opened on Briggate on 23 October 1996, it was the first store outside London and earned Leeds the nickname Knightsbridge of the North.

Founded in 1997 by brothers Mick and Jeff Barnett, Blue Rinse grew from a stall at Kirkgate Market into one of the best-known vintage clothing names in the north.

Founded in 1897 and trading in Leeds since 1901, Berry's has passed through five generations of the same family and celebrated its 125th anniversary with a new Leeds store.

Since opening on Headingley Lane in 2022, independent clothing store North South Vintage has built a loyal following, and it is now expanding into Leeds city centre.

Leeds designer Faryal Aslam started her textile jewellery brand Knottinger in 2020, and her Horsforth concept store now champions more than 40 independent makers.
