SUNSPEL OPENS NEW US STORE IN SAN FRANCISCO

by John Russel Jones



British luxury brand Sunspel has opened its first store in California. This marks the next step in the brand’s international expansion and follows the successful opening of its second New York store earlier this year on Madison Avenue. The new store is located at the Marin Country Mart, 2257 Larkspur Landing Circle in San Francisco, and offers Sunspel’s complete collection.

The Mart’s owner, James S. Rosenfield says, “Sunspel’s look is classic, and the quality is legendary. Wearing their product, one feels a sense of true luxury and comfort which stems from the knowledge that they use only the highest quality materials. We are delighted to welcome them.”

Sunspel CEO Raul Verdicchi comments, “We are very excited to announce our latest opening in the Marin Country Mart. Because of its authentic atmosphere and curated retail environment, we feel it is the perfect location for Sunspel’s first store in California. We look forward to offering our West Coast customers the opportunity to fully experience Sunspel in person.”

Beyond its legendary quality and global reputation for innovative fabrics, Sunspel is also known for the iconic Riviera Polo Shirt, popularized by Daniel Craig as James Bond in 2006’s Casino Royale. The Sunspel Classic T-shirt is another iconic favorite, which continues to be made in the brand’s original UK factory.

Founded in 1975, The Marin Country Mart is an open-air modern village featuring a collection of organic eateries, boutique fitness and wellness, old-fashioned services, independent boutiques, and family-friendly events—situated around a central courtyard overlooking the Bay. Other shops include Birkenstock, Diptyqye, Fred Segal, Hero Shop, James Perse, and TheRealReal.
