Future of Harrogate shop revealed
Accessorize in Harrogate is to reopen next week — but its sister shop Monsoon has permanently closed.
The two shops shared a unit at 20-22 James Street, where customers visited Monsoon, via the James Street entrance and Accessorize via a door at the back.
Both closed last month and although signs in the window said 'sorry, we’re closed but this isn’t goodbye forever' and 'be right back', the unit was described as 'permanently closed' on Google.
This prompted speculation neither business would return but as reported by the Stray Ferret, the site will reopen after the refit.
Gifts and homeware specialist Accessorize will welcome customers back on Friday, May 17 — but Monsoon will not return.

An Accessorize spokesperson told the Stray Ferret today:
Accessorize told the Stray Ferret the refurbished store will offer “a more diverse selection of gifting categories such as bridal, home and summer", as well as self-care and men’s gifting products.
Paul Thomas, retail director at Accessorize said:
Accessorize will officially reopen May 17 at 9.30am. The closest Monsoon store will now be York.
