Monsoon, another brand new offering for the city, will open an 8,833 sq ft double height store also trading over two levels and providing men's and women's fashion, as well as collections from Monsoon Children and Monsoon Home.

We are delighted to see H&M;, Monsoon and Accessorize join the line up of new fashion names coming to Derby. The size of units these retailers are taking is real testament to the city's demand for a strong retail destination.
