Topshop Returns to John Lewis Stores: Where Departments Will Appear in Ukraine.

Topshop and Topman Return to the Streets of Great Britain

According to The Sun: The brands Topshop and Topman are preparing for an important return to British retail streets thanks to a partnership with John Lewis.

Starting from February 2026, Topshop will appear in 32 John Lewis stores, while Topman will be in six.

Both brands will also be available online at johnlewis.com, marking an important milestone for two of the most renowned names in British fashion.

Topshop and Topman disappeared from physical stores following the collapse of Arcadia in 2021 and their acquisition by online retailer Asos.

Last month, the brand made a return to offline sales with an exclusive display at Liberty London.

John Lewis CEO Peter Ruiz stated:

“The return of Topshop and Topman to the streets of Great Britain is a landmark event, and we are proud to be their sole national partner.”

He added:

“This is the best validation of our strategy: offering beloved brands alongside unwavering trust in our brand.”

The Revitalization of Topshop

Once a symbol of British fashion, Topshop faced challenges due to the rise of e-commerce and changing consumer habits. The brand, criticized for its fast-fashion model, lost market share amid growing interest in ethical and sustainable fashion.

Following financial troubles within the Arcadia group, Topshop was acquired by Asos in 2021, and in September 2025, plans were announced to sell a stake in the brand.

Topshop has focused on revitalization, launching an independent website, introducing new collections, and hosting fashion shows.

The partnership with John Lewis has been a significant step in the brand's return to the UK fashion market. The restoration of these brands' presence in physical stores underscores their impact on British fashion and desire to regain former positions.
