Amazing speedy service from Mel. Spotted a great Osprey bag on Instagram 2 days and decided to treat myself and received today!. Fabulous condition as described. Looking forward to using and will be back again I'm sure.

I get so many of my clothes from this shop. The stock constantly changes, so it's fun to pop in when I'm in town and see what's in. The standard of clothing is very high and the prices are very reasonable. It's also a great place to go if you have some relatively new designer clothes that no longer fit.
