The term "fashion emporium" conjures up fantasical visions of marketplaces and couture- I would…read moreLOVE the sleepy little town of Berwick to have its very own "fashion emporium" but in reality, Emma Marie's is more like a cute boutique. Fabulous, yes, but boutique nonetheless. Anyway although the prices are a touch higher here than need be, I like to support this business because the owner is young and I like to support young women in business- the retail market is hard enough, especially in a small town.

I bought three office pants and 2 pairs of shoes and it only cost me a little over $20. Many of the clothes only cost $5 each and some were $3. Winning! Aside from clothes, they sell furniture and household goods. I even saw a printer for sale. This will definitely be my go-to for thrift stores in the future. :)

AHHH Pol, dressing the women of Berwick for how many decades now??…read more Pol is a clothing store definitely targeted at mum-aged women... older mums for that matter. But every so often my mum will drag me in here and I will be stoked to find a really cute piece of jewellery, or a vest, or a handbag, or some other must-have item. The Pol ladies have all worked here forever so they know everyone's business and love nothing more than to have a good goss with their customers. So in summary, I wouldn't be going here with the hopes of finding a new outfit (unless you are over 40) but Pol might just surprise you.
