Flannels' huge new flagship store finally opened in Liverpool's city centre today - but I got a sneak peek before the crowds ventured inside.
I adore fashion and spend too much of my wages on clothing, shoes and accessories, with my spending habits getting so out of hand in the first national lockdown, I embarked on a year-long 'no shopping' challenge where I didn't buy any clothes at all throughout 2021. Though I've tried to keep my shopping obsession under check, the arrival of a swanky new Flannels store was still cause for much excitement.
The flagship store is based in the Owen Owen Building on Parker Street, which once housed a Tesco Metro store, though all traces of its history as a supermarket have been completely wiped clean. The vast site, which spans six impressive floors, has been completely transformed to offer Liverpool shoppers a true taste of luxury.
