But the best thing about this small shop is that they turn over their stock at lightning speed, which means for a regular like me there's always something new to fawn over. It's obviously as popular with the other Milford locs as it is with our family. The other fabulous thing about Arazzo is that, compared to many other independent home decor stores, it's affordable. I love candles and so they have become somewhat of a price indicator for me and at $40 (they have quite a range), Arazzo's are an absolute steal! Try their beautiful handmade ones from Devonport. I forget the brand name but they come in a stylish black and white box and are stunning. They also currently have some fabulous christmas decorations, which the owner tell me are flying out the door. Cute wee reindeer and fairy lights galore - it certainly put me in a festive mood!

Claire caries a myriad of labels including Helen Cherry, Equipment, Paula Ryan, Not You Daughter's Jeans and recently new addition Frank & Eileen, who makes shirts that fit like a glove and are a huge hit in Tinseltown. Mention must also be made of the fantastic people who work at Claire. Whilst in some high-end shops you are lucky to even be acknowledged, at Claire you are always greeted with a smile. Furthermore, the staff are fantastic at recommending clothes that fit your shape and style and aren't afraid to tell you when something doesn't suit.

I didn't have much time to fully engage myself in all the wonderful stock, however I will be sure to keep it in mind for future reference and will recommend it to friends. Please note that the range is made up of designer samples, seconds and end of line items. Serendipity is open 7 days week, no website unfortunately.
