Lost Soles closes its Albert Dock store after eight years

Lost Soles is an independent Liverpool fashion brand known for bold, graphic streetwear. Located at the Albert Dock, it offered contemporary menswear and distinctive printed clothing for eight years after opening in 2018. The shop became a local landmark, counting footballers Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney among its fans.

In May 2026 the team told its thousands of social media followers that Sunday 31 May would be the store's last day. Explaining the decision, the brand said its lease had come to an end and it would not be renewing it, adding that 'the high street is dying' and that small businesses were being pushed harder than ever to survive. Owner John Sutton's team thanked customers and staff for building 'a family' and 'a community' since 2018.

Rather than wind up, Lost Soles chose to retreat from the high street. 'As a company, we believe the future is online,' the brand said, announcing it would return to its roots with limited drops and pop-up stores around the country. A closing-down sale discounted everything left in store before the doors shut for good.
