Whispers is a wonderful fashion agency that stocks new and nearly new designer clothing. Much of…read morethe clothing is for slightly older women, and they stock much that would be suitable for weddings and more formal occasions. Their new stock includes brands Kirsten Krog and Zele. However, they also operate as a concession selling others peoples never, or hardly, worn designer pieces. They accept recent clothes from brands such as Gucci, Karen Millen, Jaeger and Planet. Items should be seasonal, of current or classic styling (less than 2 years old), in perfect condition, freshly laundered or dry cleaned, all buttons and zips intact, no staining or signs of wear - in fact, nearly new, hardly worn. Full terms & conditions are available on request but basically they operate on a 50/50 sale or return.

This isn't the usual shop I would go to for clothes because of their extortionate prices but I…read morethought I'd give this place a try when there was a sale on. I was pleased to find they sell clothes for ladies aged twenty to forty who have modern lifestyles. I have a keen interest in fashion and after seeing their collections a few times I can see they keep their trends up-to-date. I found out that they spend eighteen weeks every year buying clothing for niche collections and these clothes aren't available online or in department stores. So you can get an individual look, isn't that great? Like I said earlier I avoid places like this because of their high prices and even when this shop had a sale on the prices were still way out of my budget! This is definitely a shop for women who can splash some cash. However, the shop offered a nice and friendly atmosphere and customer service. If I could afford to shop here I would.

This shop reminds me of the Cash and Carry store in Leicester. I'm not someone who is a regular…read moreshopper but there are plenty of useful items people may want to purchase. From saris to god statues to kitchen utensils, these are some of the things you will find at Milans. Although there are some nice saris on sale, I'm not entirely sure whether future brides would buy saris from here. There are other shops on Soho Road that offer more in the way of bridal saris. And to be honest you will find better bridal saris elsewhere. Having said that the saris at Milans are good but not excellent and you might want to buy some saris from here anyway. That's just my view. I did like the god statues and I am into them. The majority are Hindu gods and they are well priced. I haven't actually brought any statues but I might just return here to do so. The shop is pretty clean as you would expect it to be and I may well come back to Milans in the near future.

Although this is a great shop, they always seem to have a sale on whenever I visit. I visited the…read morestore about a week ago with my mother, and was told that they will be having a closing down sale and moving away. OMG. They sell a good and varied selection of Asian clothing in here, and is the ideal visit if your shopping on Soho Rd. Everyone knows about this place and they have decent and reasonable prices. Over the years my family, especially my mother, have spent a small fortune in here buying Saree's and accessories that come in the most delightful of colours and fashions. It's nice how they've branched out to also include shawls, kitchenware, fashion accessories such as bindis, and items that you may need for religious worship. Overall a delightful store. Good prices, and they'll be surely missed if they were to ever leave.

Khushboo Textiles is opposite Khushboos by Chand on Ladypool Road. Although they have common names,…read moreI'm not sure whether they are under the same management. However, they specialise in completely different products. Khushboo Textiles offers unstitched Asian outfits and fabrics. I first came here over a decade ago after rummaging through nearby fabric shops for a unique design. And since then this boutique has never failed to impress me. They have the latest designs in quality fabrics. They are one of the few boutiques I have come across that have heavily embroidered dupattas (scarves) with their outfits, because the embroidery is usually concentrated on the tops instead. Given the intricacy of their designs and quality in their fabric, they are understandably pricey. But you pay for what you get. The staff are polite and welcoming. They can usually be twisted to offer a slight discount so bargain away!

There's a moral to the following story. And that moral is…read more.. ...actually, I'm not sure anymore. Regardless, my visit to Glam Boutique was almost fruitful if not exactly conventional. I'm an A-grade snob, one of those snobs who makes out like I'm really not a snob because I sometimes travel by bus and eat Pot Noodles. Due to my snobbery, I wouldn't normally buy my clothes from a shop in Old Hill. Yet in the name of Yelping, I decided to visit Glam Boutique. I wouldn't wear about 98% of the stock, but I was surprised by how trendy some of it was. There was 2% that I would wear and had been looking for for some time. I'm very particular about my leggings - they have to be made out of a specific fabric and have a seam free waistband. I'd been looking everywhere for them, only to find them a 2 minute walk from home and for a fiver. Glam Boutique sold the leggings I'd been looking for! Hurrah! I got really excited and went to the till only to find that they don't take card. It was all fine, there was a cash point next door. I got the money out and returned to pay, then the woman said that they hadn't got change for a £10 note. She then sent me to get it changed. By this point I was slightly miffed, but at least I still had my perfect leggings! I got home and they were too small. The moral to this story is: try on your perfect leggings before buying them, take cash and make sure that you have five pound notes.
