Gateshead Metrocentre announces continued growth with latest retail addition

Premium footwear retailer Moda In Pelle, experts in crafting shoes for over 40 years, is set to open its doors at Metrocentre this Easter.

The new store will be located in the current Paperchase unit in the Upper Platinum Mall, alongside neighbours, Hobbs, Kuoni and Phase Eight, offering a range of “classic, but fashionable” shoes, boots, bags and accessories.

Moda In Pelle, Italian for ‘fashion in leather’, creates footwear which is wearable, fashionable, but also still affordable. Its stylish footwear combines stunning design, and complete comfort for its customers, meaning there is something for everyone.

Jacob Snell, head of retail at Moda In Pelle, commented: “We’re really excited to be opening our new concept store at the Metrocentre. We believe it’ll be a very special place to shop for our customers. Our shoes are designed with passion and crafted without compromise. It’s these fundamental principles that make us stand out on the high street.”

With over 40 retail stores and concessions across the UK and a strong online presence, the opening of the Metrocentre store highlights continued growth for both brands.

Ben Cox of Sovereign Centros, added: “We are pleased to welcome another established quality brand, which will strengthen the footwear offering available to our customers. With its unique and sophisticated product range we anticipate a successful launch for the brand.

“The opening of Moda in Pelle adds to Metrocentre’s expanding offer of aspirational brands which includes recent arrivals Hobbs, Jo Malone and Harrods Beauty.”
