A Decade of Making Women Feel Special at Genevieve
It’s a very special occasion for Genevieve’s in Carlisle, as they celebrate 10 years of providing an extra special shopping experience.
Over the last 10 years Genevieve’s have been making women feel special on those all important occasions, offering stylish collections that come with an exclusive, friendly and personal service.
Owner Susan Dowes, has successfully stayed ahead of the game, keeping up with current trends and the latest fashion labels each season. Brands such as Ronald Joyce, Condichi are always favourites and Susan has recently introduced new labels with a younger, more modern feel, such as Sonia Pena.

Particularly exciting is the new collection from Spanish brand, Javier Simorra, which includes casual dresses, trousers and jackets, that give an effortlessly fashionable look, meanwhile Marble have a stretch jean that fits practically everyone perfectly and comes in an array of gorgeous spring colours.
Dressing many mothers of the bride over the years, Genevieve’s pride themselves on making women feel confident, not only on the special days but every day.

Susan said: “I often hear from ladies that they don’t want to like mother of the bride. This is always a difficult one, as they also don’t want to look like a guest, so I do get my challenges throughout the seasons, but we can always find something suitable.”
Over the last decade, Susan has secured Genevieve’s place in the heart of the community. Through holding her ever-popular charity fashion shows and lunches in Carlisle, she has raised over £25,000 in total for Hospice at Home. A truly admirable achievement, that Susan will no doubt continue to build on for at least another 10 years.

Susan said: “Over the last 10 years we have had many ups and downs in the trade, with the recession and The Carlisle Floods but we have pulled through and are very happy to still be trading at Genevieve.”
