Some of these designers included: Vanessa Bruno, Forte Forte, Margaret Howell, Opening Ceremony, Antipast and Isabel Marant. Diverse gave a welcoming approach and was very comforting and peaceful to walk round. The service was friendly and you didn't feel on edge, therefore could spend as much time as you liked looking at the gorgeous clothes.

Sefton

Structured, Sophisticated, and Quiet

Sefton's concept as a boutique is to showcase only the very best in British and international designers such as Costume National, Miu Miu, McQueen and Comme des Garçons, however for me, Sefton was a disappointment and I didn't get a feel for any of theses amazing designers. The outside of the shop looked strong and exciting, however when inside there was no vibe and no staff. There was a fashion show projected on to the wall, however there was no sound and the whole shop was quiet and very empty. This made me want to leave straight away.
