Topshop is making a long-awaited return to the British high street this autumn, reigniting interest in one of the UK’s most iconic fashion brands. And while the comeback is confirmed, the identity of its UK wholesale partner remains one of the industry’s best-kept secrets.
After more than four years off the physical retail map, the revival of Topshop’s bricks-and-mortar presence marks a pivotal moment in British retail. Since the collapse of its former parent company, Arcadia, in 2021, Topshop has existed solely in the digital realm under the ownership of Asos, which acquired the brand in a £330 million deal.
Now, in partnership with Heartland, Asos is preparing to reintroduce Topshop to in-person shoppers, starting with a “semi-permanent” standalone store this August. The move will be followed by a wider retail rollout via an undisclosed wholesale partner in the autumn.
