Newbie Brings Its Nordic Charm to Ealing as the Swedish Brand Opens Its Eleventh UK Store

There is a certain warmth that Scandinavian design brings to the British high street. It is calm, refined and quietly confident, blending simplicity with a sense of nostalgia. This November, that signature touch arrives in Ealing as Swedish lifestyle brand Newbie opens its newest store, marking another significant moment in its UK growth story.

On Thursday 20 November at midday, Newbie will unveil its latest location in the heart of Ealing Broadway, inviting families to step inside a world built around timeless design and thoughtful craftsmanship. The first one hundred customers will be welcomed with goody bags and cinnamon buns, a small but unmistakably Nordic gesture that sets the tone for the brand experience.

Newbie, part of the Kappahl Group, has been steadily strengthening its UK presence, and this Ealing opening stands as the brand’s eleventh store in a market that has become central to its strategy. The past year has seen new stores appear in Bromley, Windsor and Bracknell, showing a clear commitment to giving British customers more opportunities to engage with the brand in person.

For Newbie, physical spaces are not just retail boxes. They are an extension of the brand’s philosophy. As Thomas Kusoffsky, Vice President of Newbie, explains, their stores are where the brand connects, forms relationships and creates the gentle magic that has become part of its identity. The arrival of another location in London reinforces this long term vision.

Across the opening weekend, visitors can expect exclusive opening offers, including a fifteen per cent discount from Thursday through Sunday. For families who already adore the brand and for those discovering it for the first time, the Ealing store promises a complete wardrobe for children from newborn to eight years old. It spans hand drawn patterns, a soft natural palette and an emphasis on quality that gives each piece the potential to be cherished and passed along.

Sustainability sits at the heart of Newbie. Collections are made using materials such as organic cotton and RWS certified wool, designed with longevity in mind. This ethos comes to life through initiatives like Newbie PreLoved, which encourages families to give pieces a second life and reaffirms the brand’s commitment to a circular approach. Their brand promise, nostalgic style made to last, feels particularly resonant in an industry often driven by speed.

The opening also arrives just as Newbie releases its latest Christmas collection, offering a charming mix of gingham checks, cosy knits and festive red dresses made for family gatherings, winter afternoons and the small joyful moments that define the season.

Beyond clothing, Newbie’s reach continues through its online store with Newbie Woman, allowing mothers and children to share coordinated looks. The Newbie Room Collection adds to the lifestyle universe, offering decorative pieces and storage solutions that help shape warm and imaginative spaces for little ones.

Kusoffsky notes that their UK customer base continues to show strong engagement, appreciating the combination of Swedish design, quality and accessibility. Alongside European store expansion, Newbie is also increasing its digital reach through selective partnerships and a new local e commerce site in Germany.

With each new launch, the brand reinforces the idea that sustainability, style and sentiment can coexist. The Ealing opening is simply the next chapter in a story built on careful growth and a desire to offer an experience that feels both personal and enduring.

Newbie opens its Ealing store at 48 The Broadway on Thursday 20 November at 12pm, with opening offers running throughout the weekend and a warm Scandinavian welcome waiting for the first one hundred customers.
