THERE’S NO MONKEY ABOUT THIS CHIMP!

Exclusive menswear boutique CHIMP in Thornton’s Arcade, Leeds, is now under new ownership, been re-styled, re-branded and is launching a number of new brands, previously unavailable in Leeds.

CHIMP has recently undergone a series of exciting changes, from ownership and new stockists to its actual structure. The independently owned store has been expanded onto two floors and given an antique style facelift; adding to its unique style.
Owner Mark Bedford, 25 from Leeds, has expanded CHIMP’s range to include a full selection of male fashion; from clothing to footwear, accessories and travel luggage. CHIMP now stocks a variety of global labels such as ‘Levi’s made and crafted’, ‘Huf’ and ‘Undefeated’, many of which are limited to one account per city.

Mark commented “having worked in retail for several years, I saw a gap in the menswear market and decided owning my own store would give me the perfect opportunity to offer something a little different in Leeds”. Bringing in brands from Japan, America and Europe has certainly added a ‘je ne sais quoi’ to this independently run boutique.

CHIMP will also be launching a full E-commerce website early June, yet again expanding the availability of global menswear brands.
