    Until I came to write this review, I always though this shop was called Carpaccio - and I couldn't…read morequite understand why they had named themselves after a raw meat dish. However I stand corrected, and although I don't know anything about the origins of the actual name, I no longer associate this place with pounded raw beef. This is another Lewes clothes shop aimed at middle aged women. This one has a bit more of a distinctive, ethnic-y vibe than some of the others; unlike Darcey or Renwick Clarke which just put me in mind of three piece suites and pristine lawns, Capriccio has slightly more bohemian feel. They sell those striped, handwoven basket bags from Kenya that I associate with the 80s, mostly because my mum used to have one. The clothing labels have names like 'Masai,' 'Sahara' and 'Oska,' and feature drapey, crepey tunics, and other unstructured pieces. They have some nice dressing gowns in ethnic prints, and also a nice selection of hats, including a stretchy straw hat that folds down flat. I am currently in the market of a nice sun hat, so I tried one on, but at £40 it was more than I wanted to spend. They also sell espadrilles and chunky jewellery pieces.

    Trailed up the High St looking for a 'party' top and cardigan that weren't pastel and cashmery, and…read moreCapriccio were the only contenders. Their clothes are of clear, jewel-like colours and interesting textures, with a bit of ethnic element. Not cheap, but class shows. (NB I have no connection with Capriccio!) I hate clothes-shopping, and I was so pleased to find somewhere that suited me, so that I could buy a couple of nice things and head home.

    I came here while shopping in Lewes with a friend, the aim of my trip was to try and find my Mum a…read morebirthday present. Lounge was the last shop I entered in to, probably the first one that wasn't a chain store or a charity shop. Unfortunately though, the clothes weren't really right for what I wanted. The products were fashionable enough, offering formal and evening wear, all for women. Price wise, it was also a little bit steep. This isn't greatly surprising in a place like Lewes, but I just wasn't bowled over by the selection, especially not at the prices, and especially when Brighton is so close.

    I always spend money when I go in to Lounge. I don't mean to. I promise myself I'm just going to…read morelook, but before I know it out comes my wallet and the plastic is being handed over! Lounge is expensive too. I have to admit, I do get most of my items from the sale rail, but it still tends to be over and above your usual high street branch. However, I also think that the quality is above and beyond. For a start, they tend to go with a few designers that they have individually sourced so you are always going to find something a little different. Often, they only buy in one item of each size and pattern, so you can be pretty sure you are not going to bump in to someone wearing the same dress! Everything is well made and the cut is usually flattering and fits well. The girls in the shop (the owner and the staff) are all really helpful, offering advise and suggestions of what goes with what. They are friendly and happy to chat even if you are just browsing. Lewes is full of independent boutiques but Lounge is definitely one of the best.
