The Crombie Store

A tip from my mother who first took me to Crombie on King Street. Its an independent chain of women’s and men’s clothing (they have about ten stores including a concession in House of Fraser).
Most of their stock is workwear and well, clothes that your mother would wear. Long skirts, tailored jackets — that kind of look. But when they have their sales, do rummage. Particulary their block colour cashmere V necks and ‘sweaters’ — isn”t that what they call cashmere jumpers in the fashion pages?
Plus for just £10 I got an amazing wool plaid scarf that I wore all winter long last year with no fraying whatsoever. And this is yours truly who accidently ruins even the highest quality clothes somehow.
The ladieswear is on the lower floor, with the menswear on the ground floor as you come in. The staff are friendly, possibly too friendly. Maybe they have high targets that they are not meeting because it always seems fairly quiet.
