This week, we caught up with Julia from MAKE, to find out more about her fabulous shop!
How long has your business been trading on
Gloucester Road?
About 11
years
What made you choose Gloucester Road for opening
your business?
Gloucester
Road is a lot like our shop - laid back, colourful, a bit quirky and not too
worried about following the dictates of fashion!
What have been the highlights for you since opening
your business?
Moving to
larger premises, allowing us to showcase our lovely stuff much better.
What kinds of products/services does your business
offer?
Women's
daywear, costume jewellery and accessories
Is there anything your business does that people
might not be aware of?
We're always
happy to make suggestions and offer advice. Some people know what they like and
what suits them, but lots don't and we love helping these people find that
perfect outfit or accessory. Big department stores call this a 'Personal
Shopper' service but we've always done it, and for free!
One of our
best kept secrets is our toybox - an invaluable distraction when Mums need to
try stuff on or browse but their kids don't want them to.
Which business do you use yourself on Gloucester
Road?
Most of them
at Christmas! I also love the range of food shops and greengrocers.
What do you like most about Gloucester Road?
Lots of
things. Most of all the diversity of all the shops, cafes, restaurants and bars
- you can get pretty much anything here without having to resort to travelling
further afield. I love that it feels so local too - lots of familiar
'characters' wander up and down, and it's really friendly. It's great when
someone unfamiliar with Gloucester Road wanders into the shop wide-eyed and
amazed at just how fabulous this street is!
