Topshop in Myer deal for Australia comeback
Published
December 10, 2025
Topshop will be back in Australia from next February with a comeback launch in all 56 of key department store retailer Myer’s stores.
It’s the latest development in a relaunch story that has seen it inking online and physical store deals in multiple countries. It’s currently available physically in the UK, Ireland, Belgium, France, Denmark, Germany, the Baltic states, and Spain, and is continuing a long-term link-up with Nordstrom in the US. It’s planning around 20 international relaunches in 2026.
As with its relaunch in other countries, the Australian offer will be built around “sharp tailoring, statement outerwear and reworked denim” with long-time popular jeans styles.
Topshop’s brand director Henrik Matthiesen called the Myer deal an “important milestone as we reintroduce Topshop to the world. Working with Myer allows us to bring our renewed vision to the Australian market with energy, relevance and a stronger connection to how people want to dress today, all while building on Topshop’s iconic British heritage”.
And the department store chain’s chief merchandise officer Belinda Slifkas highlighted how the retailer is continuing to “refresh and elevate our womenswear offering with globally relevant, fashion-forward labels. We’re seeing a growing number of younger customers choosing Myer, and with Topshop’s arrival, we’re confident this will further strengthen our appeal and deepen our connection with this customer group”.
Topshop was last available in Australia as far back as 2020 and its return to the market will also see it available online there as well as in physical stores.
Its relaunch this year has grabbed headlines all the way as it has staged high-profile events like its Trafalgar Square runway takeover in the summer. It has also attracted plenty of interest by linking up with higher-end retailers such as Liberty, Printemps Haussmann, and Magasin du Nord.

Mappin & Webb returns to Birmingham after 20 years
Published
December 10, 2025
Mappin & Webb has made its return to Birmingham at long last, “marking a new chapter for one of Britain’s most prestigious jewellers”.
It’s taken over two decades but the Watches of Switzerland-owned brand’s return to the city comes with a premium showroom site located beneath the historic Burlington Hotel on New Street.
Just moments from the city’s Jewellery Quarter, the showroom “celebrates the deep connection between the brand’s craftsmanship and Birmingham’s long-standing reputation for creativity and design excellence”.
Following a seven-month refurbishment, the 2,800 sq ft showroom features a “world-class collection of luxury watch and jewellery brands within a refined and immersive environment”.
Key to the interior design is a dedicated hospitality bar, private consultation areas and statement chandelier and architectural detailing, “which pay homage to the building’s historic character”.
In a first for the city, the introduction of an external Rolex clock reinforces the century-long partnership between the brands. Of course, a dedicated Rolex area is located at the heart of the showroom where visitors can explore the full range of collections. This also includes a curated selection of Rolex Certified Pre-owned watches.
Additionally, the showroom features luxury timepieces from brands including IWC Schaffhausen, Jaeger-LeCoultre, TAG Heuer, and Tudor.
The jewellery highlight includes one of America’s “most innovative fine jewellery designers” David Yurman, which is exclusive to the Watches of Switzerland Group. Venetian jeweller Roberto Coin is also present alongside Mappin & Webb’s own fine jewellery collections.
Joining other new-concept Mappin & Webb locations in York, Bluewater, Glasgow and Manchester, the Birmingham showroom “reinforces the Watches of Switzerland Group’s strategic vision to strengthen its city presence while balancing heritage with innovation”.

Australian apparel trade steadies despite slight Jul–Oct dip
Apparel imports (code **) eased marginally by *.** per cent to Au$*.*** billion (~$*.*** billion), compared with Au$*.*** billion a year earlier. Retailers continued to operate with tighter stock-management strategies amid soft discretionary spending. The conservative buying behaviour stems from persistent cost-of-living pressures, extended inventory cycles from ****, and a shift towards just-in-time replenishment to reduce carrying costs. Despite muted year-to-date activity, October strengthened as imports rose *.** per cent year-on-year to Au$*.*** billion (~$*.*** billion), reflecting earlier inventory planning for November promotions and festive-season demand. Stronger October inflows also signal improved consumer confidence heading into peak trading months.
Imports of textile yarn, fabrics, and made-up articles (code **) remained a key growth area, rising *.** per cent to Au$*.*** billion (~$*.*** billion). October shipments under this category climbed to Au$*** million, up from Au$*** million in October ****, indicating stable production cycles across apparel, upholstery, and technical textile applications. The increase reflects steady demand from domestic manufacturers and continued recovery in local garment and home textile production hubs, which are replenishing raw materials after earlier supply-chain constraints.
