The 750 sq ft shop on a 10-year lease is the first of five UK stores it plans to open in the next two years.

Angelica appointed MMX Retail last year to find units of between 800 and 1,250 sq ft in central London locations initially, before leasing larger stores in regional areas from next year.

Angelica has stores in the United Arab Emirates and exports its products, such as necklaces, earrings and scarves, throughout the Middle East and eastern Asia, with clients in Russia, Ukraine and Turkey.
