If, like me, you haven’t stocked up on your Autumn/Winter wardrobe yet then perhaps a trip to Bryl’s Boutique, on High Street, Barry can satisfy your desire for designer fashion.

STYLE STAR!

Owner Ann Bryl has recently celebrated two years on the High Street in Barry and we caught up with her to talk about the exciting new brands that she has introduced in celebration.

How have things been?
Business has been fantastic actually. Much better than I could have imagined. It was our second anniversary this July and I’ve had great support from my local customers in Barry but I’ve also had lots of new customers coming in from right across the Vale, Cardiff and beyond.

Do you have any new brands?
My regular brands of Nougat, Sandwich, French Connection and Ugg Australia have always been particularly popular but I’ve recently introduced Ted Baker, Not Your Daughter’s Jeans (NYDJ), Darling and Traffic People as I wanted to broaden what I was offering. The response so far has been amazing so I know I’ve made the right choices.

Why these brands in particular?
They are fantastic brands which I know will suit my customers. Darling are a show stopping brand with a vintage feel but affordable prices. Ted Baker focuses on quality and attention to detail, while Traffic People appeal to the girl or woman who longs for old time glamour. The new UGG Australia range are now in and I know that these will be really popular, especially as I’m also stocking accessories including bags and gloves from the range. These would make the perfect Christmas present.

What’s happening on High Street?
There are some lovely shops on the High Street and more opening up. We are lucky to have good quality gift shops, a fantastic deli, hair salons, café’s and restaurants. The High Street attracts good quality businesses which turns a trip to one particular shop into a good few hours. As there has been a demand from shoppers for a late night opening, many of the shops are now open until 7pm on a Thursday. I’ve now introduced this as I realise that a lot of my customers either work late in the local area or need to travel to get to me.
