I regularly drop in here as it is on the way to my kids school. They have a range of very good quality items at low prices. This week I bought a fantastic pair of party shors there. They still had the original price sticker on which siad £35, I picked them up for £10. The staff are very freindly and the shop is laid out so well you would think it was a boutique.

The shop is well laid out and colour coordinated, it is almost like stepping into a boutique. The goods are excellent quality and the prices are low.

It's not a large shop and it's absolutely stuffed with books. But it's a great place to browse and while away a bit of time. while the mix of books is quite eclectic they do seem to speciliase in Sci-fi and Fantasy novels - which is handy as that's the genre I often read. They will of course buy books from you for sale onwards in the shop. I've quite often taken a cardboard box of books down there when I'm having a clear out to see if they are interested in any of them. Beware that they are quite choosy, anything too worn, too big (!) or too obscure will be rejected and anything they are interested in won't net you much in the way of cash. I usually exit again with many of the books unsold and then go straight to the nearest charity shop and dump the rest there. The staff are friendly and helpful and this is a great shop to have in Hitchin town.

You can even sell your own items to them - though check the website for further details. Everything is set out according to colour so it is easy to find the shade of your choice. There is a changing room upstairs and this store also does make-up tutorials and colour analysis. They sell shoes, bags and hats (They are also a millinery) too so you can buy an entire outfit here. Prices are pretty good, much better than the only other clothing store for dresses.
