French Connection returned to Manchester last night with a star studded charity launch event hosted in their new Royal Exchange store.

The brand hosted an exciting launch night in celebration of its new northern flagship store and also to launch a very special charity initiative exclusive to Manchester to raise money for the We Love Manchester Appeal.
The event was thoroughly enjoyed by stars Brooke Vincent, Catherine Tyldesley and Adams Thomas. Danny Miller, Sarah Jayne Dunn,  Tisha Merry, Katie McGlynn and Sair Khan were also in attendance, making it a truly star studded event!

The event which was managed by Vital Publicity was attended by Manchester’s very own DJ EMA as well as K Klass, Gio Goi Founder Chris Donnelly, Ben Groves and Love Island couple Jess Shears and Dom Lever. Guests were entertained by a live performance from local Manchester band Larkins who are  strongly tipped for success and enjoyed food and drinks from famous local favourite restaurant Menagerie.

Personalised leather purses were gifted as well as a beautiful Bee Charm Necklace which is included in French Connection’s autumn collection, perfectly representative of the iconic Manchester worker bee that became a symbol of hope and unity following the tragic terror attack in Manchester last May. All profits from sales of the Bee Charm Necklace will be donated to the We Love Manchester Appeal.
