LEO LIN at Harrods: The Label's First UK Pop-Up, Until 31 August

Harrods' summer pop-ups tend to be either very big names or very new ones. The most charming of this season sits between the two. LEO LIN, the Australian label known for romantic prints and occasion dresses, opened its first ever UK pop-up at Harrods on Monday 13 July, and it runs until 31 August. For anyone shopping for weddings, garden parties or late summer holidays, it is worth a detour, and a welcome change from the familiar names on the floors around it.

A movie theatre on Brompton Road

The space has been designed as a fully immersive set, drawing on the label's Fall Winter 2026 collection, titled Matinée. The idea is a classic movie theatre: deep crimson accents, dramatic theatrical curtains and oversized branded popcorn props in a vintage style. The collection itself blends references to old European cinema with the playful spirit of 1960s French film, and the setting does a good job of putting you in that mood before you have touched a hanger. It is one of the more photogenic corners of the store this summer, and it has been built to be enjoyed rather than rushed.

What is on the rails

The edit spans two collections: Pre-Fall 2026, called The Harvest, and Fall Winter 2026, Matinée. That mix is useful at this point in the year, giving you summer-weight pieces you can wear now alongside things that will see you into the autumn. Pieces highlighted on the brand's announcement of the pop-up give a sense of the range:

  • Midi dresses in a Lily print in indigo, an Agapanthus print and a Magnolia print, including short sleeve, butterfly sleeve and tie neck shapes
  • Appliqué bustier mini dresses, including a tweed version in dusty pink
  • A jacquard bustier midi dress in the Magnolia print
  • An appliqué cashmere blend cardigan in the Agapanthus print
  • Wide leg trousers in chartreuse

The common thread is a modern silhouette with playful detail: appliqué, embroidery and bold florals. It is very much summer event dressing, which is exactly the gap Harrods' buyers have identified for the brand. Prices on the label's site are listed in Australian dollars, so check sterling prices in store.

Planning your visit

LEO LIN has been building steadily at Harrods, and the pop-up is the first time London shoppers can see such a broad edit of the label together. Go with an occasion in mind: the prints and embellishment are built for weddings, christenings, summer parties and evenings out rather than everyday wear, and seeing the pieces side by side makes it far easier to choose between them. If you like to research first, the full range can also be browsed on the LEO LIN website before you go, then tried on in person.

Getting there

Harrods is a short walk from Knightsbridge station on the Piccadilly line; ask at any information desk for the pop-up's location in the store. The pop-up closes on 31 August, and our shopping guide has more of the neighbourhood's best addresses.
