Primark launches UK’s first Home store at Trafford Palazzo
Set over two floors and nearly 12,000 sq ft, the store offers a treasure trove of interiors inspiration, whether you’re on the hunt for plush bedding, cosy throws, decorative touches or must-have storage solutions. There’s also a mezzanine floor with Primark’s popular travel offering, stocked with everything you need for your next getaway – from stylish luggage to packing cubes and travel-friendly accessories.
Primark has opened its first standalone Home store in Great Britain at Manchester’s Trafford Palazzo, spanning nearly 12,000 sq ft over two floors.
The store offers bedding, décor, storage and a mezzanine travel section.
The launch featured live entertainment and voucher giveaways, while Trafford Palazzo and Market Street stores also received upgrades, marking Primark’s lifestyle push.
Shoppers queuing up to be the first through the doors this morning were greeted by a live DJ, bringing the party atmosphere, and were among the first to try out the new shopping experience. The retailer’s existing Trafford Palazzo store has also had a makeover, with an expanded womenswear offering, upgraded fixtures across the Health & Beauty department and a brand-new Nails beauty studio.
To mark the opening, Primark is also giving six lucky Manchester shoppers the chance to win £100 shopping vouchers to spend in the new Primark Home store. The vouchers will be hidden across the city with clues revealed on the @primark.home Instagram from 9:30am today. The first eagle-eyed fans to find them can put their prize straight towards their Primark Home must-haves.
Its flagship Manchester Market Street store is also set to unveil a fresh new look next month, including a new performance wear area, a makeover of its RAWR beauty studio and a pre-loved section.
Ceara Doyle, Store Manager at Primark Trafford Palazzo said: “The buzz and excitement around this new opening has been incredible and finally getting to welcome our first customers through the door this morning was a real moment to remember. That amazing moment was only possible because of our brilliant team who have been working behind the scenes to bring the store to life – from fitting out the space, right down to the final cushion fluffs this morning. The new store truly is a dream for interiors fans, and we can’t wait for people across Greater Manchester to come and explore the extensive range, be inspired by the great style on offer, and find quality, affordable pieces to treasure in their homes, now and for years to come.”
Leandra Dwyer, Asset Manager at Peel Retail & Leisure said: “Trafford Palazzo is fast establishing itself as the UK’s leading destination for new flagship retail and leisure concepts. The launch of Great Britain’s first standalone Primark Home store at Trafford Palazzo is a fantastic example of how Peel Retail & Leisure partners with major brands to create vibrant spaces where retail and leisure thrive and where consumers want to be. We are looking forward to seeing the progression of this exciting new store evolve.”
The new opening comes as Primark’s home collection continues to thrive, with warm harvest themed decor, key icons of foxes and hedgehogs, autumnal florals and soft neutral layering set to be key trends this autumn / winter, as well as a new elevated feel for Halloween.
Alongside this, Primark has all the essentials students need to decorate their rooms as they head back to uni for the new year. Meanwhile, customers seeking a touch of luxury can also find the Primark Edit in store, a superior-quality collection, which features luxurious 500-thread count bedding for ultimate comfort, exceptionally plush towels that redefine softness, rich, intense home fragrances, and refined, lightweight ceramic tableware.
Primark’s second Trafford Palazzo store complements existing stores across Greater Manchester and follows the successful debut of the standalone Primark Home concept in Belfast earlier this year.

Chairman’s Collection reflects Raymond’s seamless transition from a heritage textile pioneer to a modern luxury menswear destination, now stepping into a more rarefied, couture-led space. One of the most ambitious expressions of luxury menswear retail, this new retail store is a sartorial experience for globally aware Indian consumers. Drawing from Renaissance and Baroque influences, layered with a contemporary European sensibility, the space is rooted in Indian craftsmanship while reflecting a distinctly global identity of the new-age India.
Raymond has unveiled its Chairman’s collection flagship in Bandra, marking its evolution into luxury menswear.
The 11,000 sq ft, two-level space offers couture fashion, fine jewellery, fragrances, and bespoke services.
Blending Indian craftsmanship with global design, it delivers an immersive, appointment-led experience with curated art, collectibles, and personalised styling.
THE COLLECTION: THREE DISTINCT WORLDS
Modern Opulence – Casual Couture
Elevated casualwear, reimagined through the grandeur of Renaissance motifs and the ornate richness of Baroque detailing on printed silk shirts, embroidered denim, and statement separates, offers a refreshing take on couture sensibility in the art of dressing.
Power Dressing – Contemporary Heirlooms
Power Dressing, elevated to an art form. Each suit is crafted in exquisite fabrics from across the world, offering impeccable fit and finished with the artisanal depth that is uniquely and unmistakably Indian.
Embellished jackets. Indo-Western silhouettes. Velvets, silks, and jewel tones that speak before you do. Every piece in the Chairman’s Collection reflects power dressing and is an act of self-expression, conceptualized for moments that demand presence, individuality, and the kind of authority that needs no introduction.
Art, Heritage & Experimentation – Indian Renaissance
A deeply artisanal expression combining Renaissance-inspired prints with traditional Indian techniques such as zardozi and hand embroidery, creating garments that transcend fashion to become collectible pieces.
BEYOND FASHION: A COMPLETE LUXURY EXPERIENCE
The Chairman’s Collection extends gracefully beyond apparel, embracing a far more holistic vision of modern luxury. Fine jewellery for men, lab-grown diamond pieces of exceptional provenance, and a curated edit of the world’s most coveted fragrance and watch brands – each chosen with the same discernment that defines every corner of this space.
A natural evolution of Raymond’s legacy, this launch marks a thoughtful foray into new luxury categories where style meets substance, and each coveted offering is a reflection of a life lived with intention. The store operates on an appointment-led model, ensuring a personalised experience from concept to execution. Be it bespoke tailoring or personalised styling, each element is designed to offer exclusivity.
A SPATIAL EXPERIENCE DESIGNED LIKE A JOURNEY
Spanning across two levels, the store unfolds through carefully designed environments:
- A lounge-inspired setting with leather armchairs and bespoke trunks, evoking exclusivity
- Gallery-style displays, where apparel and finest fabrics are presented as collectible pieces
- A refined tailoring zone, celebrating Raymond’s legacy in craftsmanship
- Curated display zones, where collectibles and design products add depth and narrative
Every detail of the space reflects a shift in luxury retail from transactional to experiential, immersive, and deeply personal.
WHERE FASHION MEETS ART & COLLECTIBLES
Woven seamlessly into the store are museum-worthy displays of rare collectibles, from Formula 1-inspired models to precision-crafted masterpieces that are a true reflection of the Chairman’s lifelong devotion to the art of the automobile, both vintage and contemporary. Impossible to overlook, the curated Art Deco-inspired pieces and handpicked artworks that grace the space have each been chosen with extraordinary intentionality, with every element in coherence with the store’s design language.
This layered, considered approach transforms the Chairman’s Collection into something far greater than a fashion destination, unraveling a world unto itself. Every corner, every curation, every carefully chosen object speaks to a man’s taste, his sensibility, and the life he has chosen to lead. The effect is singular and unmistakable – a space that does not merely dress a man, but defines him. Not just a philosophy of style, but a complete philosophy of living.
A NEW CHAPTER FOR RAYMOND
Speaking on the occasion, Satyaki Ghosh, CEO, Raymond Lifestyle Limited, said; “Chairman’s Collection reflects the pride of creating international-quality luxury, made in India, for the modern Indian man. Raymond being the pioneers in menswear, this is a logical brand evolution towards launching a first of its kind couture experience in India. Consumer centricity is at the core of Raymond and this latest endeavour is an affirmative step in the same direction.”
With Chairman’s Collection, moves forward not as a heritage brand resting on its century-old legacy, but as India’s homegrown brand paying homage to luxury that understands the new Indian identity, which is making its formidable presence being felt in the world.

ASEAN+3 comprises the members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), China, South Korea and Japan.
Macroeconomic stabilisation in the ASEAN+3 nations has progressed while navigating the new energy shock triggered by the Middle East conflict.
Structural adjustments continue, according to the latest ASEAN+3 Regional Economic Outlook.
While vulnerabilities remain, the pace and direction of policy adjustment have improved significantly in the region.
In Singapore and Malaysia, strong institutional credibility, financial stability and well-developed investment frameworks support relatively stable economic management.
In Vietnam and Cambodia, manufacturing and services continue to underpin economic activity despite external headwinds.
Adjustment is also visible in economies that have faced more acute macroeconomic pressures, where policy measures to stabilise exchange rates, recalibrate fiscal policy and strengthen debt management have contributed to a marked improvement in macroeconomic conditions compared with earlier periods of stress, the report released by the ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO) said.
While vulnerabilities remain, the pace and direction of policy adjustment have improved significantly, it noted.
Taken together, these experiences suggest that economic management in the region has evolved around a pragmatic combination of policy approaches rather than a single doctrinal model, the report remarked.
Regional economies are placing greater emphasis on strengthening flexibility and resilience in trade, foreign direct investment and financial flows.
At the same time, many economies across the region are investing in digitalisation, advanced manufacturing and emerging technologies.
Rather than narrow sectoral targeting, industrial strategies often emphasise foundational capabilities—human capital development, digital infrastructure and technological capacity. These efforts support adaptation to shifting global conditions while maintaining long-term competitiveness, it added.
