A Glasgow based online clothing brand backed by the likes of Lionel Messi, Roberto Firmino and Luis Suarex is set to open its first ever store.

Bee Inspired, which was formed by former footballers Steven Robb and Mark Corcoran in 2013, is the UK's fastest growing streetwear brand - with the firm also gaining fans in Martin Compston and Craig David.

The pair, who have grown from a small bedroom start-up to an international online brand, are now set to launch their first "brick and mortar store" - in Glasgow's Princes Square.

Steven Robb from Bee Inspired said: “We’ve had customers begging us for years to open up a store, so now felt like the perfect time with the brand growing so rapidly on a global scale.

"We put so much time and energy into getting the details and quality spot on, and sometimes our customers don’t get to experience that until they’ve got their products.

"With the store we have the chance to let our customers interact with our products first hand and see how each piece fits.

"The store is really going to bring our brand to life and we can’t wait to welcome customers through the door.”

"Princes Square is well-known for its fashion retailers and having an exciting brand like Bee Inspired will be welcomed by our visitors.”
