Victoria Beckham Dover Street Flagship

To celebrate the holiday season, Victoria Beckham has invited Rose to reimagine her Dover Street flagship store in London. Alongside antique furniture and objects, abundant festive decorations are set to completely transform the store, reflecting Rose’s belief in the power of design to induce emotion, and offering a unique and exciting celebratory experience.

Victoria is a fashion creative who has long found her inspiration in the worlds of art and design, making this latest collaboration with Rose a natural one. As a friend and personal interior designer for a long time, Victoria has been excited to work with Rose on a truly unique experience for customers visiting the store - immersing them in a luxurious space where they can discover and try on Victoria Beckham pieces amidst beautiful antiques, that would normally be on display at fairs such as PAD and Frieze Masters.

To mark the occasion, Rose has developed a bespoke paint and luxurious velvets in deep, rich greens exclusively for Victoria Beckham. These will be the backdrop for striking pieces of early antique furniture, some gilded and richly decorated, and some minimal and more subdued. Layers of colour, texture, and filtered light have been combined to create an atmosphere of sumptuous luxury, setting the stage for Victoria’s contemporary collections to shine in clean counterpoint.

A bespoke Rose Uniacke Camel Shawl in Golden Olive will also be available exclusively in the Dover Street flagship store, priced at £750. Exquisitely crafted for the takeover, each shawl has been hand-woven from Bactrian Camel hair that has been harvested by hand by the nomadic people of the Mongolian Steppe.

A heady mix of the sumptuous and the simple, Rose’s reimagining of the space is a dialogue, full of echoes and reflections, that resolves itself in balance and powerful harmony.

Holiday Takeover will run from Monday 11th November until Friday 3rd January, 2025.

Accessories Shop

Rose’s love of objects is integral to the way her interiors lend themselves to life. The lustre of ceramic, the delicacy of fine glassware, or the weight and balance of cutlery, heavy in the hand, all soften and humanise a space. For Rose, no detail is too small or too ordinary to be worth attention and there is a quiet beauty in usefulness.

From the beginning, wherever necessary, Rose has developed her own line of furniture, lighting, fixtures and fittings, sourcing materials and refining designs, lavishing on even the smallest objects her eye for elegance and her belief in craftsmanship. Now, with her third Pimlico Road store, these beautiful belongings have their own dedicated space. The range is wide and rapidly growing, everything from candles to cutlery, designed with the brand’s trademark attention to detail and to quality - ‘anything I feel like making’ in Rose’s words - napkins in heavy linen, sheets and soft towels, match-holders in bronze, breadboards and rose-gold scissors, cushions and playing-cards, beautiful notebooks, backgammon sets, blankets, even down to coat hangers.

The atmosphere of the shop is deep-toned, warm and enveloping. Against the darkness of the Rose Uniacke GrafClean in Aubergine paintwork, objects shine with individuality. Niches lit like jewellery boxes display single lamps, vases, goblets - a range of fine glassware gleaming like raindrops. A tea-station, offering matcha and herbal teas allows time to relax, to soak up the variety and quiet quality of the design detail around you, and to experience the way that life can be changed and elevated through loving attention to the objects of our everyday use.
