Clarks Village in Somerset welcomes a prestigious new addition with the opening of Christy’s first outlet store in the South West. Renowned for its exquisite towels and bed linen, Christy brings over 175 years of British craftsmanship to this vibrant shopping destination.
Christy, credited with inventing the modern British towel and historically favored by Queen Victoria, continues to set the standard in luxury homeware. Their product range extends beyond towels to include bed linen, robes, filled bedding, top-of-bed accessories, sleepwear, and more—combining tradition with contemporary style.
The new 1,059 sq ft Christy outlet is situated in Central Square Gardens, nestled among well-known brands like Samsonite, Le Creuset, and Clarks Village itself. Shoppers can enjoy special discounts ranging from 30% to 50% off the recommended retail price, making it an ideal time to experience Christy’s signature quality and design.

To celebrate the launch this Saturday, April 18th, visitors can enjoy complimentary hot drinks served from a Christy coffee bike on site, available while stocks last. Additionally, the first 30 customers spending £50 or more will receive an exclusive tropical floral napkin gift set.
The event will feature a showcase of Christy’s Spring/Summer 2026 collections, including the elegant Kew & Calder bed linen range and a new line of vibrant beach towels and beach bags.
Nancy Loukota, Director of Wholesale and Retail at Christy, expressed excitement about the opening: “We’re thrilled to introduce Christy to Somerset shoppers through our first outlet store here at Clarks Village. It’s an excellent platform to connect with customers and highlight the heritage, quality, and value that Christy proudly offers.”
Clarks Village itself offers an exceptional shopping experience, hosting over 90 designer and high-street brands with discounts of up to 60% off recommended retail prices. Known as the UK’s original shopping outlet, it combines a modern outdoor ambiance with landscaped gardens, wide walkways, dining options, and family-friendly attractions like the Mindful Monsters storytelling trail.
Marc Myers, Retail Operations Director at Clarks Village, added: “Christy’s addition enhances our diverse retail mix and complements recent store openings like Crocs. We aim to continually refresh our offerings with new brands and engaging events, creating a vibrant shopping environment for all.”
