Reviews

“I grabbed a tensel skirt here a few days ago. Tensel is all the rage this season so I was very pleased to find they had a range of items made from the fabric. The attendant working when I visited was lovely, really made my shopping experience easy. Plenty of change rooms which is a plus.”

“Youth fashion that is on trend and some items are actually really well made. The prices are around $59 an item which is a little steep given the international brands that are now around. I tend to shop in the sale section and found some nice cardigans and basics.”
