If you haven’t come to discover this already, if there’s one thing you need to know about the GRAZIA team, it’s that we’re always across the latest in fashion and shopping.
And that’s where The Bicester Collection comes in. And luckily, there’s a slew of new openings and experiences arriving at the popular shopping destination group the globe over. From the UK to Spain to France, there’s something for everyone – and it’s worth clearing your calendar for.
At Bicester Village in the UK, celebrations are underway. It’s the Village’s 30th anniversary, and marking the moment is The Village Attic – a pop-up curated by thrifting icon and all-round cool-girl fashion oracle, Bay Garnett. It’s conscious consumption reimagined as treasure-hunting.
Bay has personally sourced over 200 pieces, from Alaïa to Saint Laurent to cult labels you always mean to look up but never quite do. Even better? The space supports Smart Works, the charity helping women step confidently into new careers.
Just a short wander away, an institution has arrived: Fortnum & Mason has opened its first boutique and hospitality concept outside of London. Picture Fortnum’s signature Eau de Nil glamour, a chandelier that feels very Piccadilly, and Red Coats ready with tea tastings, gifting suggestions, and personalised touches. And yes – their new On the Go kiosk is serving sourdough crumpets topped with coronation chicken or strawberry-and-champagne preserve.
Meanwhile, 45 minutes from Paris, La Vallée Village is leaning into sheer luxury. To celebrate its 25th anniversary, it’s unveiling a new Personal Shopping space – eight serene, apartment-like suites designed for one-on-one styling, hands-free shopping, and that delicious feeling of being taken care of.
Further south, La Roca Village is shining a spotlight on Catalonia’s quieter cultural soul: Lleida. Expect art, craft, heritage and flavour: a photography-meets-fashion exhibition, illustrations by Chanel and Hermès collaborator Lara Costafreda scattered through the Village, and an Aitona Gourmet pop-up filled with olive oils, orchard fruits and local wine that tastes of golden hour and summer heat.
And in Madrid? Las Rozas Village is turning retail into a five-star getaway. Their new Experience Box, created with The Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Madrid, includes transfers, champagne, personal stylists, Fast Pass boutique access and hands-free shopping delivered back to your room.
Across every Bicester Collection destination, shopping is made thoughtful and that’s luxury for everyone.
