Sparkling new occupant for mall

AUSTRIAN crystal company Swarovski is the latest to confirm it is to open a store at the new shopping centre in Livingston.

The worldwide luxury brand is to move into The Elements, the contemporary new 375,000 sq ft shopping centre that opens in October.

Swarovski is famous for its timelessly modern finished crystal products, sold through its global network of more than 1000 stores. Merchandise ranges from collectables to jewellery, fashion accessories and homeware.

The retailer has agreed a lease on a 1003 sq ft unit at an annual rent of £101,000.

David Smith, leasing director, Land Securities, said: "This is a fantastic addition to the retail offering at The Elements. This desirable brand is sure to be of great appeal to consumers when the shopping centre opens."
