Fashion chain Diesel is to open a new store at Ashford's Designer Outlet centre.

McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Ashford says the international lifestyle brand's new 1,500 sq ft shop will welcome its first customers on Thursday, June 16.

The new store - located in the former Trespass premises - will showcase the brand’s casual wear and denim ranges, offering shoppers Diesel products at reduced prices.

Outlet bosses say the new store will create 15 jobs and add to the Designer Outlet's wide range of womens and menswear shops.

Founded in 1978, Diesel has enjoyed extraordinary growth and has evolved from being a leading denim brand into premium casual wear, with celebrity fans across the globe.

Ashford Designer Outlet centre manager, Peter Corr said: "Diesel is a great fit for McArthurGlen and we all look forward to the store’s June opening, to further strengthen our fashion offering, alongside such recently opened stores as Havaianas and Timberland.”
