Spanish fashion brand Stradivarius has officially opened its first store in the North East.

Located in the Lower Red Mall of Metrocentre, the new flagship store brings trend-led, affordable fashion to the region for the first time.

The shop is stocked with fresh seasonal collections, 'timeless denim pieces', and statement accessories.

Gavin Prior, centre director at Metrocentre, said: "We’re thrilled to welcome Stradivarius to Metrocentre.

"There’s been so much anticipation around the launch of the store, and it’s fantastic to finally see the doors open and shoppers exploring the brand’s unique offering.

"It’s another exciting milestone as we continue to bring exclusive, in-demand names to the North East."

The opening marks the regional debut of the Spanish fashion label, which is part of the global Inditex group.

Stradivarius' North East store was announced in February and has been eagerly awaited by fans.

The opening was met with excitement on social media, with many fashion enthusiasts expressing their eagerness to visit.

Georgina Cole said the opening was "Perfect timing."
