SIMON CARTER EXPANDS TO BRIGHTON
Brighton’s menswear is about to step up a level following to the arrival of Simon Carter Clothing and Accessories in the North Laines.

Situated on Kensington Gardens, the British accessory and tailoring label is expanding its retail portfolio, with four stores already in London, one apiece in Buckinghamshire and Yorkshire respectively as well as another in Toronto, Canada.

Carter, who has been a regular visitor to Brighton since his childhood, has been keen to set up by the seaside for some time, as he explains: “It’s been in my mind to set up a store here for three or four years. It was just a question of finding the right location, because it’s vital for me to have elegant premises.”


With its ebullient, quirky English style, it is sure to fit in with Brighton’s contemporary flair and is already a hit with the city’s fashion fans.

However, the Saltdean Lido Community Interest Company still have a long way to go, with the total cost of renovating the Lido and its beautiful modernist building set at some £10 million.
