Three new stores have opened at Braintree Village - two designer fashion outlets and a bakery.
The outlet village’s latest additions are stylish menswear brand Jack & Jones and luxury design house kate spade new york. The Cornish Bakery has also opened, for shoppers seeking refreshments.
In total, the new openings have generated over 25 new jobs in the local area.
Jack & Jones is located next to Dune London on the South Mall, featuring urban sportswear, casual classics and tailoring.
The new kate spade new york outlet is the brand’s first Essex-based shop, selling everything from ready-to-wear fashion pieces to the brand’s signature handbags and jewellery. It is located next to the Polo Ralph Lauren store.
