The Sunday Edit: Edition 4
We talk about it a lot, but our customers are the reason we do what we do.
From choosing our seasonal pieces, to curating new and exciting additions outside of fashion, every day we focus on our customers and loyal community around us to help them with confidence and to bring a little wardrobe joy to their lives.
This week we had the pleasure of catching up with one of our incredible OG customers, Rami, who’s what you could call a true Style Attic superfan. With over 50 pairs of our famous magic pants (yes 50), from visiting us in the original attic way back when, Rami embodies everything we love about our special community of women. Here’s what she had to say:
"I can remember all them years ago being in a house and walking in thinking ‘am I in the right place to shop for clothes?’, then my friend said ‘keep going’ and I walked through the most beautiful house and upstairs to a loft where everything was on display, and then that hooked me forever more.
I also remember being a little nervous at the time, as I wasn’t sure if they had my size (18), but Leigh’s mum Lisa made me feel so comfortable and showed me around the attic - making me feel welcome and speaking to me like I was a lifelong friend - which is something I will never forget to this day.
It’s because of these small gestures that I can easily say that this brand is completely different to shopping on the high street. The Style Attic caters for all sizes, it’s unique and I always feel like it’s like a personalised shopping experience. With the ladies going out of their way to help you, check stock and advise on what’s new and would suit me and my style, I can’t think of anywhere else that would offer this kind of service for free and do it so gracefully at the same time too.
But mostly I love The Style Attic because it’s different. It's a family run business, which I absolutely think is amazing, they cater for all sizes and make us ladies feel included with their 2 social lives per week to show what’s new and how it looks on! So from sizes 6 up to sizes 20/22, we know how to style our clothes and see what’s new, without even having to leave the house. What’s not to love about that?"
"I would definitely say to other women who are feeling a little lost with their personal style and identity, to ask for advice and watch the Lives on Tuesdays or Thursdays for ideas.
I have recently lost 2.5 stone and finally feel comfortable in my own skin. Having returned from holiday a few weeks ago, I took so many #StyleAtticSelfies of everything I wore on our break, because EVERYTHING was in fact from The Style Attic, and the best part was that I felt amazing in it all too."
"If anything The Style Attic has taught me over the years is that every woman's body is different, and we should love ourselves no matter what size we are."
She finished our conversation by saying that "over the past year I’ve been working on myself, on my health and then treating myself to some wonderful clothes - oh and trying to hide the parcels from my husband. Everytime the door knocks I am running to get it so the hubby doesn’t see it", and we think it’s the perfect way to end our chat - because we can all relate to that feeling!
Just like Rami (above), superfan’s Louise and Rachel (below) travelled from Sunderland to Leeds to see us in the shop last weekend and it’s another reminder why Leigh started The Style Attic in the first place - because we are a brand built by women, for women and we love every single one of you!
