My Comments: A very successful specialist designer company that has been growing and growing for twenty years.
Well established in the home market, funky in part, but very commercial, they are very well known for the long fashion lightweight coats, a little reminiscent of 60’s styling which is very in vogue now.
Their skirts and trousers are sold forward order and from stock.
Exceptionally well priced.
