Fashion brand Topshop is making a surprise early return to the high street next week with John Lewis pop-ups.
The clothing retailer is launching the series of exclusive pop-ups across select John Lewis stores from 3 November.
Topshop will be available in four shops across the country, with pop-ups based on the womenswear floor of John Lewis’ London Oxford Street, Bristol, Leeds, and Liverpool stores.
The initiative comes ahead of the full-scale launch of Topshop in 32 John Lewis stores, with Topman in six of the stores, which is scheduled for February 2026.
Each pop-up will feature a curated selection of around 30 pieces, which will change weekly.
The garments will consist of “statement outerwear, iconic denim, cult knits and must-have partywear,” according to the business, which will be available in-store and via the John Lewis app.
The first 100 customers in each store will receive a Topshop tote bag, with further giveaways planned throughout the six-week takeover.
On London’s Oxford Street, Topshop will host weekly DJ sessions every Thursday evening from 13 November.
Running through to Christmas, the pop-ups are set to offer a “seasonal snapshot” of Topshop’s collection, the company said.
