Tiffany & Co opens glittering new store within Selfridges at the Trafford Centre

It’s a dazzler.

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson - 6th November 2024

One of the world’s most famous jewellery brands has opened a dazzling new store at Selfridges, as the Trafford Centre welcomes Tiffany & Co.

This heritage brand now has a presence on the lower level of the luxury department store, selling its most recognisable items. 

The glittering new Tiffany & Co space is just beside the San Carlo champagne bar.

And although it’s tucked right in the heart of Selfridges, Tiffany & Co has gone to the effort of recreating the iconic windows from the New York flagship store, building a blue mosaic wall with window displays inside. 

Shoppers will be able to perch on plush cream-coloured stools to try on items from its four Icons collections – HardWear, Lock, T, and Knot –  before carrying your purchase off in that instantly-recognisable Tiffany blue bag. 

Founded more than 180 years ago, Tiffany & Co is synonymous with New York City but loved globally. 

The heritage brand’s T collection was inspired by the grid system of the streets and avenues of Manhattan, it helped to design the dollar bill, and also designed the invites for the opening of the Statue of Liberty.

The Tiffany setting was the first engagement ring to have the diamond displayed on the band (which is now the standard) rather than embedded within the band – even the emoji on all our phones is a ring design invented by Tiffany & Co. 

It was the first jewellery designer to bring 925 sterling silver to the USA and it remains proud of its silver pieces. 

This is also the only jewellery name with full traceability of its diamonds, and rejects a whopping 0.04% to ensure only the highest-quality gems are used in its jewellery, cutting them for beauty rather than size.

The brand has a lot of famous names associated with it – Dua Lipa has been proudly wearing Tiffany & Co jewellery on her tour and public appearances, Lady Gaga launched the Hardwear collection, and Miley Cyrus wore the  ‘Elsa Peretti’ Bone cuff to receive her first Grammy Award. 

Beyonce’s cowboy hat and even her in-house ear monitors for her Renaissance Tour were even created with Tiffany.

Tiffany & Co is also the creator of possibly the world’s most famous piece of jewellery, The Tiffany Yellow Diamond necklace, worn by only four women – Lady Gaga, Audrey Hepburn, Mary Whitehouse, and Beyonce.

The award-winning Manchester development offering renters up to £3.4k off – plus top amenities, a golf simulator, and more

The Manc The Manc Cortland at Colliers Yard is offering a month's free rent if you move in by 31 July

There’s a seriously exciting new neighbourhood taking shape right on the edge of Manchester city centre – and if you move fast, you could land a swanky new apartment and save thousands on rent.

This is Cortland at Colliers Yard, located just minutes from Deansgate and Spinningfields.

The impressive new rental community is dishing out some massive summer savings, including up to £2,500 off a 12-month lease or £3,420 off select three-bedroom apartments, if you move in before 31 July.

And residents at this new neighbourhood are promised a lifestyle that’s more akin to a private members’ club than a standard city apartment block.

For residents, that means terraces with skyline views; 25,000 sq ft of amenity space (yes, that does make it one of the biggest in the UK); and co-working lounges, boardrooms, private dining rooms and a Club Lounge – to name just a few. 

There’s also a fitness centre that rivals actual gyms, kitted out with squat racks, ski ergs, full calisthenics rigs, a pilates and yoga studio, a spin room – you name it, you can work out in it. 

Then there’s the games room, where you can play pool or shuffleboard, take on retro arcade games, or practice your swing in a golf simulator room. 

Residents also benefit from a 24/7 concierge and an onsite maintenance team, so whether you need a parcel collected or something fixed, there’s always someone there.

The apartments at Cortland by Colliers Yard themselves are design-led and absolutely gorgeous, packed with natural light and high-spec finishes. AND they’re even pet-friendly, so your four-legged mate is welcome too. 

In total, there are 559 new apartments, penthouses and exclusive townhouses to choose from of varying sizes, including one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom duplex penthouses, and two and three-bedroom high-level apartments.

And it’s in a prime location. Cortland sits in the heart of Colliers Yard, a growing community on the Manchester/Salford border with half-acre public park (Greengate Park) and a line-up of food and drink spots. 

First up: Kallos, a Greek-inspired all-day restaurant with wine and flatbreads. 

With the city expanding ever upwards and outwards, developments like Cortland at Colliers Yard are keeping residents and locals at the forefront, building vital new green spaces and factoring in space for local businesses too. 

If you’re looking for more than just a place to live – something with real lifestyle built in – this could be the move.

Move in by 31 July to get up to one month’s rent free. Find out more HERE.

adidas and Oasis launch exclusive 90s-inspired collection with new Manchester store

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson adidas and Oasis launch exclusive 90s-inspired collection with new Manchester store

Rock ‘n’ roll giants Oasis have officially partnered with adidas to launch an exclusive Oasis Live ‘25 collection as part of a new Original Forever campaign.

The legendary Manchester band and the pioneering sportswear brand have dropped a full collection of 90s-inspired adidas Originals x Oasis Live ‘25 apparel. 

The 26-piece collection lands just in time for the massive Oasis reunion shows this summer, which includes five homecoming gigs at Heaton Park.

And it’s launching in Manchester in a big way – with a brand-new adidas store that will host the exclusive Oasis collaboration collection. 

The new adidas store is set to open on Thursday 3 July on Market Street, in the heart of Manchester’s busiest shopping district, and will have a packed programme of events to celebrate the city that shaped this iconic band. 

Those events include a free after-hours opening party (you can sign up for the exclusive event through Eventbrite HERE), with free food and beer, plus a tote bag full of limited edition gifts for the first 150 in the queue – first come, first served. 

Bada Bing will be in store serving up a specially curated menu of signature sandwiches, alongside beers from local craft brewery Track Brewing.

Manc icons Mani from the Stone Roses and DJ Paulette will be DJing the event, along with giveaways, raffles, gifts with purchase, and a free photobooth. 

The opening party is set to be a celebration of adidas within the city, of Oasis’s return to Manchester, and the city’s loud and proud legacy. 

Later in the month, on Thursday 10 July, there’ll be a live podcast recording in-store – The Band With The 3 Stripes Podcast with The Face will take fans behind the scenes of Oasis, with photographer Lawrence Watson who’s known for capturing iconic images of the band’s raw energy and style. 

His work with the band over the years helped to define the visual identity of the era and adidas’s influence on British youth culture. 

The event will include complimentary drinks throughout the evening, with a personally signed A6 postcard print by Lawrence Watson as a gift with purchase if attendees purchase any one item from the range.

Between 18 and 21 July, from 10am to 6pm, adidas will collaborate with Vinyl Exchange on a record store takeover, featuring listening stations and a free branded slip mat with any purchase from the collection. 

Exclusive to the adidas x Vinyl Exchange pop-up, select records will also be available at a set price for the special event.

Back to that collaboration though – Oasis and adidas have announced their official partnership to celebrate 30 years of shared history and culture-defining style. 

The Original Forever campaign film shows euphoric crowd-surfers as they journey through each historic era that Oasis has touched, including iconic moments like Knebworth, Wembley and Rio – set to the soundtrack of Live Forever.

The adidas Originals x Oasis Live ‘25 apparel collection consists of looks from the 90s that have been reimagined for modern day, with quintessentially British style. 

At their heyday, Oasis were deeply entrenched in UK terrace culture and lifelong football fans, leading to this new football-casual collection of Firebird tracksuits (Noel’s favourite), raglan sleeve jerseys, coach jackets and bucket hats. 

Chris Walsh, VP Brand at adidas, said: “adidas and Oasis share a story defined by originality and cultural impact, with roots that run deep and  have long been entwined in the fabric of music and style. 

“This official partnership represents more than  just two icons coming together; it reignites a timeless piece of cultural music history. 

“‘Original Forever’ continues to build on adidas’ lasting legacy in music and celebrates the powerful role music and style  play in shaping culture across generations,”

The adidas Originals x Oasis Live ‘25 collection is available now within adidas retail stores including the brand-new adidas store in Manchester, and adidas.co.uk.

The new adidas Manchester store opens on Market Street on Thursday 3 July, with the exclusive Oasis collection in store.
