Bron-ja of Wigton – where they take stress off finding a dress!
After 15 years Bron-ja of Wigton is under new ownership. Linda Smith who owns an accessory shop in Whitehaven hopes to keep Bron-ja’s brilliant reputation alive.
Linda was a previous customer of Bron-ja and when she heard they were selling she knew it was an opportunity not to be missed, she said: “It is such a lovely shop and I knew how much of a shame it would be to see it close forever. It all just seemed to happen at the right time for all of us.”
Bron-ja of Wigton specialises in special occasion wear and focuses primarily on mother of the bride/groom outfits. They stock a range of high-end products with names such as John Charles, Luis Civit and Ann Balon.
Offering a bespoke service, the staff at Bron-ja will take away any stress that comes with finding an outfit. That’s because not only do Bron-ja sell outfits but they also stock a range of hats, fascinators and bags so you wont need to go to three different places to complete your attire, they have everything you need right there.
And with their alteration service you are guaranteed the perfect fit, Linda said: “Our alteration service means that you don’t have to worry about anything, we will do a fitting for you, send it to our seamstress and all you have to do is come back for your next fitting. We will always make sure our customers are happy when they leave, we understand how important it is for them to feel good on the big day.”
Having been open for 15 years, the shop has become a popular and well known business in the area and it seems, in true Cumbrian style, Linda has been welcomed and accepted all over the town, she said: “It’s been so overwhelming, I really didn’t expect as much support as I have received. I have had other local business owners popping in and congratulating me and welcoming me to Wigton. It really has been lovely.”
Linda wants to ensure that Bron-ja continues as it has for over a decade, she said: “The previous owners worked really hard to make sure they were giving customers a quality experience, I want to keep that going. I’m not coming into the business to make big changes, I just want to keep it alive and up-hold the fantastic reputation that Bronja and Jane have built over the years.”
