A unique North East company known for its top-end vintage streetwear has opened a new unit at STACK Newcastle

Waceland, which has an outlet in Durham under the name Ace Vintage and is famous for its popular pop-up shops, has taken one of the street-facing retail spaces at the new STACK Newcastle, which opened in early December.

The flagship development at Worswick Chambers, Pilgrim Street is the largest STACK to date, with three floors featuring eight bars and eight independent street food units, an outside plaza with a stage and interactive gaming at Sideshow.

STACK Newcastle also features four external retail units. YOLO Coffee & Kitchen was the first to open, with Patrick Forster Barbers and Shop set to follow soon as it expands from its High Bridge Street base, alongside Breadwin Sandwich Deli.

Waceland has now taken up the final unit, offering the company’s own range of streetwear with a North East twist which includes hoodies, T shirts and bags along with handpicked vintage items.

Georgia Stanley, who is part of the family-owned business and who does the designing, marketing and also hunts out the designer clothes, is excited about moving into STACK.

She said:

“This is the absolute perfect location for us.

“Over the years we’ve had a number of pop-up shops and were also in the Central Arcade for six years but we wanted to find somewhere new.

“STACK Newcastle absolutely bowled us over when we went to see it and now we just can’t wait to open.”

Shoppers will be able to pick up bargain items for brands ranging from Ralph Lauren to Burberry, all sourced and handpicked by Georgia and her brother Jordan.

Gemma Dishman, STACK’s Project Development Director, said Waceland would be a great addition:

“Waceland is a fantastic fit for STACK Newcastle. Having an independent vintage brand with such strong North East roots trading from a historic Grade II listed building feels completely right for this site,” she said.

“ Worswick Chambers is a key part of the regeneration of the Pilgrim Street area, and it’s important to us that the businesses here reflect that sense of character and creativity.

“We’re just as selective with our external retail units as we are with our internal traders, making sure each offer genuinely complements STACK and appeals to our customers.

“ Waceland’s curated vintage pieces and original designs will really benefit from the footfall we attract and add something distinctive to this growing part of the city.”
