Van Mildert’s fashion statement

The retailer has invested over £300,000 in the 6,000 sq ft retail space within Hull’s Princes Quay Shopping Centre and has created 10 new retail jobs.

Van Mildert is part of the Delima Retail group of fashion stores, owned by brothers Eric and Cyril Williams.

It now has seven stores across the North East and North Yorkshire.

The others are in York, Harrogate, Durham, Darlington and Metrocentre Gateshead,

The new boutique includes designs by Burberry, Nudie Jeans, Maharishi, Vivienne Westwood, Hugo Boss, Belstaff and Evisu.
