The Personal Touch

I had been working in fashion stores for several years before I heard of personal shopping. At first, the notion of paying someone to pick out your clothes and other items struck me as a little extravagant. However, the more I learned about it, the more it began to make sense. I started to become more and more interested and eventually got involved.

The quiet location and luxurious surroundings helps the client relax [1|2|3|4|5|6|7].

I have the entire range of clothing lines stocked by the department store at my disposal, ranging from designer labels through to high street brands. I always make a wide selection [1|2|3|4|5|6|7]. I prefer this to imposing my views. The consultations are often so successful that clients tend to come back on a regular basis.
