Just in time for Christmas, the Floral Street store, is the second British retail venture from the cult beauty brand and will open its doors from 20 November to 9 February 2020.

Inspired by traditional social clubs, the space features a Glossier twist on floral Laura Ashley-like wallpaper as well as a hidden ‘Glossier Rooftop’ that pays homage to the London skyline.

For every sale of the umbrella, £5 will be donated to women’s employment charity Young Women’s Trust.

Glossier has achieved financial and critical acclaim thanks to its direct-to-consumer business model, but the digital brand is becoming seasoned in bricks-and-mortar retail.

Alongside its two permanent locations in New York and Los Angeles, the skin care make-up brand has opened temporary stores in Miami, Seattle, Boston and Austin.
