Forget Brighton - go to St. Leonards!

As much as I love shopping in the Laines in Brighton - such an ecclectic mix - Norman Road and Kings Road in St. Leonards-on-sea are full of equally quirky one-off boutiques, vintage emporiums and independant coffee bars.

Bramwell-Cole on Norman Road, run by my talented friend Kate, has just taken delivery of some of my bags & leather berets - Ooo-La-La!

The shop is full of beautiful one-off garments and boho-lampshades, custom-made by Kate in the shop, including the most beautiful linen trousers & coats and refashioned knitwear.

Bramwell-Cole is also a stockist of a range from 'Kitty Clogs' - wooden shoes, handcrafted in Sweden using sustainable materials.

Kate is also a talented ceramicist and has a stock of stunning pots.

St. Leonards really is worth a visit!
