Inside The Designer BANK

 

MY STORY
As a little girl I was introduced to beautiful fabrics whilst watching my mother sew and create. 
I am happiest when trawling through racks of clothing, be it a Thrift Shop or Boutique, oh the excitement of finding a fabulous new style/fabric/treasure. 
My dream has always been to open a Boutique in which to share my love of fabrics and fashion.

The Designer Bank was opened March 2018 after many months renovating our 1939 heritage building (initially a Bank). The Art Deco era of the building has been carefully preserved and the decor purposefully reflects the clothes within.

The Designer Bank is constantly evolving as we explore the ever changing fashion landscape and understand the needs of our customers.

As our business has grown we realise more than ever that the needs of our customers vary hugely.

Some of you like to browse at your leisure and have a strong sense of what your style is. Shopping is a pleasure and up there on your favourite things to do. Take your time, we are here to help if you need it, we also know when to just let you shop. No yackity yack from us if you prefer a quiet shopping experience.

We also recognise that shopping for clothes can at times be difficult for some and even mildly traumatic. Super busy worlds can leave you feeling time poor and finding the perfect garment is just not on your list of priorities. Its a chore and a bore but has to be done.

This is where our super stylists and team are ready to step up.

Let us take some of that shopping pain away….

We can help you find the styles that suit your body shape, colours that suit your complexion and garments that will serve you now and in the future. We love a good value for wear garment,

If we don’t have what you are looking for please let us know and I will do my best to find it for you. Shopping for clothes is my thing.

We love unique, trans-seasonal pieces that will enhance your wardrobe and stand the test of time. We also understand the need for a good basic that will make the rest of your wardrobe work. A capsule garment that will be worth its weight in gold. 

Ultimately we would love to think that the garments you choose with us will be reached for time and time again and make your life that little bit easier. 

We love helping you in any way we can. 

Your shopping experience is important to us.

We look forward to sharing our beautiful space with you.
