Topshop is going to be sold in John Lewis stores (Picture: Getty Images)

It’s been five years since big Topshop closed its doors, and I think I speak for all millennials when I say we never really got over it.
But finally, our prayers have been answered: Topshop is returning to the UK high-street. It might not be exactly what you had in mind though.
The flagship Oxford Street shop, which closed in 2021, remains a massive IKEA. But from today (February 17), you’ll be able to get your hands on Topshop clothes in 32 John Lewis stores across the country.

Topshop and sister brand Topman have been sorely missed on the UK high streets since former owner Arcadia collapsed into administration in 2021.The brand was snapped up by current owner ASOS, where Topshop is sold online.
But it’s not quite the same as perusing the racks, is it?
The John Lewis launch will cover a collection of 130 of Topshop’s ‘most in-demand pieces,’ including their signature denim items. Topshop and Topman products will also be available across John Lewis’s online platforms as part of the launch.

Michelle Wilson, managing director of Topshop, said: ‘Today is about making it easier for customers to access the Topshop and Topman pieces they love.
‘From our cult denim to new‑season footwear, you can see it, feel it and take it home the same day.
‘Partnering with John Lewis brings Topshop back to high streets across the UK with the level of service our customers expect.’
But John Lewis isn’t the first…

While we’re suitably nostalgic about shopping Topshop in-store, John Lewis isn’t the first department store to sell it.
Last year, the brand returned to physical retail with a launch in Liberty, the famous department store on Regent’s Street, a mere stone’s throw from where big Topshop used to be.
The brand teased the partnership in an Instagram video, posted on August 19, which appeared to reveal the recognisable Liberty storefront.
Comments on the post quickly noticed the setting, and questioned whether Liberty would be the first to have Topshop’s AW25 collection on the rails.
The news was then later confirmed by Liberty’s group buying and merchandising director, Lydia King.

‘Topshop was such a cultural destination for Oxford Circus and Soho, so I think our location is very important,’ Lydia told Ellle UK.
‘This whole area is obviously steeped in such history and it’s really buzzing at the moment.
‘To be a part of [Topshop’s] return, when there’s so much nostalgia about the location, and the brand, and the cultural moment, is really exciting.’
It’s not the first time Liberty and Topshop have joined forces. Fans of the Kate Moss for Topshop collections will remember the 2009 range, which featured Liberty prints on babydoll dresses and cami tops.

While Topshop items have been available online via ASOS, shopping online has never quite replicated that buzz of spending hours in the giant shop.
But earlier this year, rumours began to swirl that the iconic fashion brand was making a comeback.
Cryptic Instagram posts back in March left fans ‘crying, screaming, throwing up’, convinced that a bricks and mortar store was coming back.

Only, it turned out to be the return of a dedicated Topshop website, as well as a runway show in Trafalgar Square on August 16.
Is this new development one step closer to getting a standalone Topshop store back? Only time will tell.
But for now, millennials assemble, grab your Jonis, and head to John Lewis.
