Velvet Loves... Anne Furbank
Anne Furbank's classic fashion never goes out of style. Anne opened her first boutique back in 1981, in the Cambridgeshire village of Buckden, near St Neots. The shop has since grown from one to eleven showrooms and Anne now heads a veritable fashion empire with a second store in the centre of Newmarket.
These days Anne runs the business with her daughter-in-law, Rebecca. Together they thrive on fashion and share an eye for quality. Their clothes are handpicked from across the world - evolving labels are stocked alongside established brands such as Gerry Weber, Moschino and MaxMara.
Anne and Rebecca say, "We are passionate about style, individuality and special personal service." Customers at Anne Furbank can expect not only a carefully selected collection of looks, but the ultimate in personal styling.
In particular, Anne Furbank specialises in dressing the Mother of the Bride (or Groom!) so that you can look your best on your son or daughter's big day. The stores carry an extensive range of occasionwear with accessories chosen to accent each outfit.
Whatever your taste, you'll find that special something in Anne Furbank's occasionwear collections. If you're looking for classic silk in luscious gem colours, there's Linea Raffaelli. If you're after something with a twist, try Mireia or the Spanish line Luis Civit. Anne Furbank also offers an in-house alteration service so that your clothes are just right.
Most importantly, the staff have years of experience dressing women for one of the most important weddings of their lives. A personal stylist will help you to put together the perfect outfit to compliment both your personal taste and the theme of the wedding.
You can also pop in and pick up casual pieces. Anne and Rebecca's taste for classic cuts and eye-catching prints ensures you'll always find something flattering. And as well as shoes, there's also a range of jewellery and even fragrances for you to browse.
They stock cool new brands such as the quirky Spanish label Desigual and the playful Moschino Love alongside well-loved designers like Joseph Ribkoff which provide reliable wardrobe staples.
You’ll soon understand why this mother and daughter-in-law team have picked up awards including the coveted ‘National Independent Retailer of the Year’ from clothing industry magazine, Drapers. Visit Anne Furbank in either the Buckden or Newmarket boutique and you’ll be treated to exceptional choice and personal service.
