Store Tour: Vicky Martin
Helen Tither11/ 8/2008
WHAT: Vicky Martin fashion boutique
WHERE: The Triangle, Manchester. Tel: 0161 832 8234
WHY GO?
Prestwich-based fashion designer Vicky Martin creates fabulous frocks for Manchester’s best-dressed celebrities.
Including Coronation Street stars Kym Ryder and Helen Flanagan, and Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallett.
Offering a made-to-measure service on her partywear and new bridal collection, designer Vicky has a hands-on approach to the business. With regulars running back time and again to get the perfect party gown.
The Triangle outlet, in Manchester city centre, has a chic boutique feel. Packed with dresses you may have spotted in the pages of celebrity magazines.
Plus a corner devoted to wedding wear, and plenty of glitzy accessories to finish your look.
Prices, starting at over £100 for a dress, might be higher than some high street stores. But bear in mind that you are paying for a designer piece, hand-made right here in Greater Manchester
