After announcing the winner of our t-shirt design competition last week we have been working on a press release to get the message out there. The t-shirts with winning illustration by Silvia Potter will be available to buy in a range of sizes in the next few weeks, watch this space!
The FashionCapital team, including us all the way West in Bath, are gearing up for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee event this month. FashionCapital will be putting together an interactive showcase of fashions from the last 60 years and we look forward to assisting and joining in with this once in a lifetime event!
New in we have a local designer, Sandra Burge, specializing in leather goods such as belts and cuffs. Her unique belts have caught the eye of customers and some have already been snapped up.
Last week’s bestseller: due to the rainy, damp days knitwear has been the staple bestseller; in particular the Bristol based company Peregrine has been shifting stock for both men and women.
More next week, until then stay stylish.
