Hello from Lesley..
I have been selling unique clothes for unique women in my Brighton store since 1998 and I run the shop from an old brewery building in the heart of the vibrant North Laines.
I hope you like the unique, high quality clothes I've picked from a collection of small but stylish independent suppliers around the world. As much as possible I go for natural fabrics and I choose what I know looks good on real women as opposed to what's in fashion.
We love the fact that many of our customers have been loyal to us since we opened and that many travel from far and wide to visit us. And now, with our online store there's no need to travel anywhere because it's all right here!
If you get the chance to pop into the store then we're happy to assist you personally, in fact I love nothing more than dressing people up. But please don't worry, if you want to be left alone that's OK too. That's why the shop doesn't have any doors, you can just breeze in and out!
So, have a good look round and feel free to call me and the team on 01273 623 244 if you need any help at all.

Bamboo crops mature very fast and require no herbicides or pesticides to grow, making it a great alternative fibre for clothing.
Soy fabric is often referred to as the vegetarian's cashmere due to its soft hand feel. The fibre is made from the by products of Soy food farming and is a renewable resource.
