The Latest from the Boutique in Bath
It may have been a damp Bank holiday weekend but the tourists were in town soaking up the Georgian architecture and the hilly panoramic views of Bath.
Our best seller this week was the vintage inspired label ‘Ruby Rocks’ they are offering some fantastic discounts at the moment and stock is dwindling fast. We have also had ladies in buying frocks and hats to attend weddings and also the races. One customer is having her Carole Wadham, local milliner, hat specially made to match her outfit for Ascot, always fabulous to know that customers have found a design that will be totally unique and, of course, stylish.
JoJo, manageress of the boutique, is looking forward to joining the rest of the FashionCapital team to meet the Queen next Tuesday over in Bromley. She’ll update us on how that went next week.
Until then do drop by the boutique for special offers on Goat London, Ruby Rocks, Jean-Pierre Braganza, Nina Bon Bina and Belles of London.

Boutique Pick of the Week
It is time to welcome frills back into your wardrobe with this Nina Bon Bina dress. In a gorgeous deep plum, you can dress it down and wear it as a tunic over leggings during the day or dress it up with heels for a night out. The quirky and feminine frills add a little extra detail and make the dress look anything but plain. Made from 100% silk, it will keep you cool as the months get warmer and look amazing as you get a little colour from the sun. The dress is available to purchase from the British Designers @ FashionCapital e-boutique for £170
Until next time, have a great week
