ICHI, a high profile Danish brand, is currently taking Europe
by storm. The brand is characterized by high quality and cutting
edge designs at affordable prices. With 12 collections a year
ICHI is able to react to the latest trends from Europe�s fashion
hotspots and guarantees girls something new every time they
visit the store, at unbelievable value.
ICHI is more than the typical high street store, from the unique
black and red retro themed interiors to the cool designs
available in store, Ciara and Lisa want to offer fashionistas in
Lisburn and beyond a different shopping experience. �Shopping
for clothes need no longer be just functional. Girls today want
to be pampered and have an enjoyable experience when shopping,
with comfortable surroundings and good customer service.� Ciara
stated. �They want more for their money and want the latest
trends right off the catwalk. Trends can change as frequently as
every four weeks and for these reasons we chose ICHI, one of the
funkiest brands to come out of Europe in the past few years�

ICHI is a sister brand to b.young, one of the leading Danish
brands available in Europe. Lisa, stated �Another brand that we
will be stocking in our store is Gestuz, and we will be the
first in Northern Ireland to stock this brand. The Gestuz
collection is young and oozes coolness, soul and quality
throughout. The designs are more individual aimed at consumers
looking for a point of difference. We felt that ICHI and Gestuz
complimented each other and we feel we are able to give a better
offering to customers.�
ICHI Lisburn will be open from 9.00am to 6.00pm on Monday to
Wednesday, 9.00am to 9.00pm on Thursday and Friday and 1.00pm to
