Streetwear brand returns to Derbion

Derbion has welcomed the permanent return of an independent streetwear brand.

1NE is a previous winner of Derbion’s Hatch competition, which aims to help small independent retailers by offering the winner a rent-free pop-up store inside the shopping centre.

The firm won the competition back in 2023 – and has now returned to the same 880 sq ft store on Level 2.

The unit, which has undergone a significant transformation, boasts a new store design and stocks a variety of exclusive and limited-edition items from brands such as Stussy, Supreme, Palace along with a selection of local, homegrown brands.

1NE joins Derbion’s growing line-up of fashion retailers, including recent arrivals such as LUKE 1977, Seasalt and Victoria’s Secret, which have all opened this year.

Beth McDonald, managing director at Derbion, said: “Our Hatch initiative is all about supporting independent retailers to gain exposure and boost their business.

“It’s been fantastic to see 1NE go from strength to strength since their pop-up in the centre, and to be welcoming them back to Derbion.”
