Marianna Boutique on St Peter’s Street had a day of celebration with guest designers, exclusive collections, music and Danish inspired cocktails, all in aid of Macmillian Cancer Support.
Owner, professional style consultant and mother-of-two, Emma Lloyd said: “I couldn’t have wished for a more successful day.
“Not only did we have a fabulous party atmosphere throughout the day we saw our best day’s trading ever.”
Marianna opened in 2005 and stocks a catalogue of hand-selected Scandinavian designers including By Malene Birger, Aiayu, Hofmann, Kristensen Du Nord and Becksondergaard.
The store is amongst other thriving independent businesses in The Saints area, which incorporates St Peter’s Street and St Nicholas Street and is situated between the town centre and the waterfront – including florists, restaurants, hairdressers and gift shops.
Mrs Lloyd said: “We are all striving to bring our customers something unique and rather special.
