Bespoke jeweller Searle and Co has announced its revival by launching at The Royal Exchange in London.
The opening represents a revival of the Searle and Co brand, under a separate operator that shares the name, that previously traded at the scheme for 125 years.
The company has taken the 519 sq ft unit 1, which is an external-facing store looking out onto Cornhill, on a new 10-year lease.
The boutique was home to the previous incarnation of Searle and Co from 1896, prior to its closure in 2021.
Searle and Co joins other luxury brands at The Royal Exchange like Tiffany and Co., Bremont, Omega, Montblanc and Hermès.
Andrew Hilston, managing director of The Ardent Companies UK, said: “It is fantastic to see a historic jewellery brand such as Searle and Co return to The Royal Exchange, and highlights its position as the City of London’s leading luxury scheme. Alongside the new dining operators we have brought in, The Royal Exchange is the Square Mile’s destination of choice for premium shopping, eating and socialising.”
In 2024, The Royal Exchange saw footfall 20% up on 2023, with December visitors some 36% higher than during the same month in the previous year.
In parallel, The City of London is undergoing a wider resurgence as a luxury retail and social destination, with The Royal Exchange aiming to play a key role in the revival.
