Hop Shop

Boutique 2 You Shopping at Home

Queues. Gormless sales staff. More queues. The pervading smell of BO.

Such are the hazards of updating your wardrobe.

Next time you shop, do it at home. Boutique 2 You brings a range of clothes to your door for you to try on and buy. The service is free, and you’re not obliged to purchase anything; if you do, you pay with cash or a credit card on the spot.

Call 24 hours in advance, report your dress size, and founder Annabel Sommer or one of her team will arrive at any house or office in London or surrounding counties with designs by Alice McCall, Belle & Bunty, Milla and more — plus a heap of jeans from denim store Donna Ida.

Sales assistants will fly in and out in twenty minutes for a busy individual or serve a large group for up to two hours; and they won’t start telling you how nice you look in absolutely everything. Nor will they stand around chewing gum.

Need a new autumn wardrobe?

No sweat.
