Accessorize is part of the Monsoon chain of stores and if you like pretty sparkly jewellery and bags then you won't be disappointed! Despite only being a small store, the Accessorize branch in Burnley is stocked from floor to ceiling with all sorts of pretty accessories including jewellery, hair accessories, handbags, shows, scarves etc.
The prices are a little higher than other shops selling similar items but this is reflected in the quality and selection of items available. The store also has a very grown up feel about it and, although there is a limited selection of children's items, the majority of the items are expensive and tasteful enough to be for adults only.
The store is well laid out with the jewellery being separated into different colours and themes. This makes it easier to find something to match your new red dress or a gift for your friend with a penchant for boho accessories since similar items are grouped together. My only qualm with Accessorize, besides perhaps the high prices, is the fact that the store is a little cramped with free standing displays as well as shelving on all the walls. At busy times, this can make browsing difficult and it would definitely be a struggle for anyone with a pram.
One final thing to point out whilst I forget is the sales! Accessorize have fantastic sales with up to 70% off a wide range of items, so it's well worth stocking up if you spot a sale sign in the window as my previous bargains have included a pair of shoes for £3 and lots of jewellery items for 50p. read more
