Velvet Loves... Nicola Sexton
Nestled in the heart of Bury St Edmunds' historic quarter, Nicola Sexton is an independent boutique offering exclusive statement accessories from the continent. Luxurious leather goods are Nicola Sexton's speciality, from handmade Italian shoes and belts to Spanish handbags.
The boutique is also the exclusive UK retailer for Nicola Sexton's favourite designer, Luciano Padovan. Luciano even offers a bespoke service to Nicola Sexton clients, personalising their heels to reflect their individual taste.
Believe it or not, Nicola Sexton only opened its doors in April 2010 - to much enthusiasm from the fashionistas of Bury St Edmunds and beyond. But for Nicola, the brains behind the boutique, shoes are a lifelong obsession.
Whilst working in the south of France, Nicola discovered rare Italian shoe brands. On her return to the UK she was constantly complimented on her own shoes that she felt there was a gap in the UK market, and from there the dream of Nicola Sexton was born.
Nicola personally met with each of her designers and put together an original collection that reflects her passion for beautifully made shoes. She sourced Italian designers with no representation in the UK and has now secured an exclusive supply of several prestigious brands.
The star of Nicola's collection is Luciano Padovan, whose super-sexy stilettos have been spotted on celebrities such as Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson and even Miranda of the ultimate shoe-worship show, Sex and the City.
But Nicola Sexton isn't just about killer heels - there are certainly all the fierce stilettos and sandals you could dream of, but the boutique also showcases an extensive range of boots, ballet pumps and Nicola's own take on the classic wedge loafer.
And to set off your new shoes, Nicola has selected Pavoni and Cat handbags crafted from the softest Italian and Spanish leathers, Barbara Easton's range of elegant, but edgy jewellery and, to brighten up the office, there are even laptop bags in glossy, berry-hued patent leather. Whatever your personal taste, a trip to Nicola Sexton will set you apart from the crowd.
