WE shared the news that a boutique shop that looks to address the lack of options available when it comes to shopping for women’s clothing in Carlisle has recently opened up.

The Closet on the Bank has sprouted up on Scotland Road, offering a unique blend of preloved, new, and ‘nearly new’ high-brand ladies' clothing and accessories as well as catering for special occasions from weddings to Christmas parties. 

The shop aims to fill a gap on Carlisle’s high street while promoting sustainability by reducing waste.

Kerstin Colliander-Metzler added: "This is great that a variety of ways to shop is getting popular. Can also recommend a fantastic preloved shop in Brampton, called Label. Check it out too. The more the merrier!"
