Mint Velvet To Open On Chiswick High Road

Women's clothing chain to move into the former Body Shop premises

The women’s clothing chain, Mint Velvet, is to open in Chiswick in the former Body Shop premises on Chiswick High Road.

Mint Velvet already has outlets in House of Fraser and John Lewis stores throughout the UK but is also expanding its presence on UK high streets.

There is no definite date for the new store’s opening in Chiswick.

Its website describes its clothing range as a combination of beautiful textures with seasonal key looks for "relaxed glamour".

The company was formed just over three years ago by three friends who had worked in the fashion industry and wanted to branch out on their own.

The name of the shop was inspired by the many cups of fresh mint tea they shared while discussing their plans- the mint summing up qualities of freshness and flavour while ‘velvet’ suggested luxury and touchability.

The company said they hoped to open the new store "soon".
