French fashion brand Jott to open its first UK store in Marylebone

On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

Jott is a French premium outerwear brand with “iconic colourful down jackets”. Its first British store at 103 Marylebone High Street covers 1,140 sq ft of space.

Within the last 12 months, 50% of the new openings are for brands opening its first permanent UK stores, according to The Howard de Walden Estate.

Rob Kirk, head of retail and leisure at The Howard de Walden Estate, added: “Healthy demand remains for our prime central London location, and we are very pleased to  welcome these new and established brands to Marylebone Village, each adding to our already  diverse mix of retail and F&B operators, and further enhancing the area for our community.  

“Visitor numbers continue to grow, and we look forward to a successful second half to the year as  people continue to return to central London.”
