Christmas shopping is well and truly underway for most Mancs, and now there’s another shop we can add to your options this festive season. From today (Monday 9th December), Jellycat fans can visit a playful new shopping destination as the luxury soft toy brand unveils the Jellycat General Store inside Selfridges Manchester Trafford.
Inspired by nostalgic shopping experiences — reimagined with a Jellycat twist — the Jellycat General Store is a vibrant space where every corner is sure to delight. Guests exploring the store will notice Jellycat’s signature touches and attention to detail, including an eye-catching storefront, a window display featuring retro-inspired Jellycat tins, and a bright blue bench where visitors can cuddle up to a familiar Jellycat character — the perfect photo opportunity!
Following the highly anticipated opening of the Jellycat General Store in Selfridges Birmingham, the Manchester Trafford location echoes the same delightful attention to detail the brand is renowned for. Counters, shelves, and tiles match the brand’s iconic colour scheme, and as visitors wander through the store, they’ll be greeted by beloved Amuseables and Loveables characters, arranged by category in shop-style shelving and displays — making it easier and more fun than ever to find their new Jellycat friend.
To celebrate the Christmas season, a life-size version of the fan-favourite Amuseables Peanut Reindeer will visit the Manchester Trafford store to spread festive joy. Adorably textured, this quirky legume boasts a cosy fur shell, red suedette nose, cocoa antlers, truffle cord boots, a funky tuft haircut, and an embroidered grin. This peanut has truly cracked Christmas!
Vicki Cain, Store Director at Selfridges Manchester Trafford, said: “We’re delighted to welcome the new Jellycat General Store to Selfridges Trafford. It’s a fun destination for customers to explore the Jellycat collection, with so many fabulous creations to choose from.
“Who could resist cuddling up to one of the giant Jellies? Our customers are huge fans of Jellycat, so this new opening is perfectly timed for those starting their Christmas shopping.”
