Retailer lays on the glitz to celebrate brand’s new outlet in City Of London
Iconic high-street stationer Ryman opened the fifth store under its sister brand, Ryman Design in Cheapside on Tuesday 16 July. This is the latest addition to a growing number of Ryman Design store openings across the UK.
Located at 107 Cheapside, this store offers a curated selection of high-quality stationery products from trendsetting brands such as Ban.do, Kate Spade, POSCA, Legami, Violet Studios/Crafters Companion, and Midori.
Ryman Design has also collaborated with The London Studio to create a playful and iconic Art of Drag collection of gifts, cards and stationery – the perfect way for customers to express themselves in style.
And, not missing a trick, as the opening of store coincided with International Drag Day, drag dj Remy Melee added to the glamour and buzzy atmosphere as trading got underway with aplomb, with a juggler and the chance to win lots of prizes helping draw people in.
Ryman owner and former tv dragon Theo Paphitis said: “I’m thrilled to be adding another Ryman Design store to the estate, this time in the heart of Cheapside. Ryman Design is all about inspiring creativity with designer-led cards, gifts and stationery, and opening the store at such a vibrant time of celebration was a no-brainer for me.”
He confirmed that “because of the fantastic response, I’m looking forward to launching more!”
First launched in 2023, Ryman Design is a design-led specialist offshoot of leading high-street stationer Ryman. The Cheapside store is the latest addition to the growing number of popular Ryman Design stores in the UK, following previous openings in Scotland, Birmingham and London.
