New arrivals at Chatterton's plus exciting NEW Online Store!

Online Store

We have launched our new online store with a selection of pieces chosen from the extensive ranges in our branches (visit www.chattertonshop.co.uk). We will be growing our online offer season by season. Let us know what you think (email: enquiries@chattertonshop.co.uk).

April Showers!

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous for the last week but with April is here. Luckily at our Amersham store we have some extremely stylish ways to keep the rain at bay. From Marithe et Francois Girbaud, there’s the ‘Frisk’ mac as well as the ‘Super-sonic’ water repellent jacket. Also, from High, we have the ‘Goodbye’ mac and the ‘Jackie’ jacket. The latest arm candy comes in the shape of the ‘Overnight’ bag from Pauric Sweeney – oversized in beautiful tricolored leather.

For those of you who want to keep it casual, Cambridge, as well as Amersham, have a new delivery from the fantastic Wildfox collection featuring sweatshirts, sweatpants and tees. At Southwold, there’s more European Culture just in – lovely peddle-pusher style trousers in shades of sage and apricot as well as a beautiful cotton jacket in soft dove grey.

Other news from the Cambridge store is that the new Belstaff jackets have arrived; key pieces are the ‘Skylark’ jacket and the ‘Quilted Blouson’ which are both classic Belstaff cuts in summer-weight materials. 

Summer style

Looking forward to warmer weather, there’s also new Marc by Marc Jacobs flip flops at Cambridge, boasting a wedge heel as well as some seriously stylish heeled clogs and loafers in butter soft leather from Michael Kors. With a quick visit to Barnes, you can finish your look with one of the new clutches, also from Michael Kors, available in a range of tempting nude creams and vanillas.

And if that’s not choice enough, a new delivery from Velvet will soon be arriving across all our stores.

Get Ready For Wedding Season!

The ‘W’ word has already reached our ears here at Chatterton’s and we don’t plan to disappoint. Whether your mood is glamorous/dressy or casual/elegant, we have a choice of dresses and two-pieces that will take your breath away. 

First off, there’s a gorgeous selection of Paule Ka shift dresses and bolero jackets which you’ll find at both our Amersham and Woodbridge stores in a beautifully soft summer palette of pinks, corals and taupes. Or, for the bang on trend fashionista, how about a pretty peplum dress from Project D and some truly fabulous Repetto shoes? – great for dancing the night away at the end of the big day.

At our Barnes store, you can deliberate over the new Libelula collection. Stand out pieces include a full length empire-line dress in stunning patterned silk and a heavy silk twill dress coat in indigo which our lovely new manager at the store has described as ‘regal’. 

If your taste is for something more relaxed, Southwold have a new delivery from Graham and Spencer’s Velvet, including some maxi dresses in the finest jersey material known to woman.

Away from the frantic preparations for the wedding season, you can keep it casual at our Cambridge store. Back in stock are a luscious collection of Wildfox tees sporting a new twist on the floral No.9 design. Marc by Marc Jacobs is doing fabulous things in variations of navy – elegant but simple dresses in structured jersey - great for day wear, great for impromptu evening wear, as well as some funky splatter-print design tees which are just the thing to brighten up a day full of (March and) April showers.

The hot tips this week are that Amersham have got the long awaited ‘Rascal’ straight leg jeans from Mother and that Cambridge is expecting a delivery of accessories from Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs and Armani – handbag queens form an orderly queue please! Also, both the Cambridge and Barnes stores are expecting a second delivery from High any day now...

That’s all of this week’s news, apart to let all the hard-working fashionistas know that the Amersham store is now open on Sundays from 12-5pm (AND Ladies, have your got your fashion show tickets for the 22nd March? apparently they’re selling fast!) So much to buy, still so little time...

New Deliveries – New Reasons to Fall in Love

We’re getting so many fabulous new pieces delivered every other day at the moment, it’s hard to know which trend to follow first.

At Amersham, accessories are the big news this week. There are some fabulous pieces from the SS12 Marc by Marc Jacobs footwear collection: white pumps, flip-flops or how about a sparkly rose-gold peep toe shoe? Of course, you can’t think about new shoes without thinking about new bags – the question is do you go for something that’s effortlessly cool but casual from Belstaff, such as the Tessa in tan or grey leather, or do you go for a seriously smart piece of arm candy from Diane Von Furstenburg such as the colour block Harper in red, white and black or the mini Harper in Chalk Python? Decisions, decisions.

If accessories have got you in a bit of a spin, why not settle on one of the latest trophy jackets from High, namely ‘Theatre’, which comes in a beautiful peach shade, or ‘Kindly’ in tailored stripes. Or it could be back to the Belstaff collection for one of their ever-covetable jackets. Whatever you chose, the lovely girls at Amersham will make sure you leave with the right choice.

Elsewhere, the keyword is ‘more’. At the Cambridge store there’s more Michael Kors – some fabulous summer dresses in the hottest prints – more Alice by Temperley – dresses and blouses in lightweight cotton that don’t take up any room in a suitcase – and more DKNY in the shape of flip-flops in the classic signature print and some pumps in a mouthwatering Clementine colour.

We’re keeping it bright at our Barnes store too, with some gorgeous tops from Duffy, simple classics in citron and coral as well as some fabulous exotic bird tees and jumpers from Marcus Lupfer.

Whatever else happens, one thing is for sure – this summer won’t be boring!

More news soon!

Kick off Spring / Summer 2012 in style with Chatterton's!

Many exciting things are happening at Chatterton’s to kick off Spring/Summer 2012. New collections are already appearing across all our 5 stores: lots of luscious DKNY, Marc by Marc Jacobs, High, Wildfox, 120% - and that’s just for starters.

This week, at Chatterton’s in Cambridge, we got a fab first delivery from European Culture featuring easy-to-wear yet luxurious, instant classics from the label in this season’s icy pastel palette colours. As if that wasn’t exciting enough, a box of super-summery scarves and ponchos from Missoni turned up shortly after. It all makes winter just that bit harder to bear - the instant cure is to start creating your SS12 wardrobe now in anticipation of a great summer!

STOP PRESS.... Diane Von Furstenberg and European Culture has
also just arrived at Old Amersham!

Also, the news from our flagship store in Old Amersham is that Chatterton’s will be taking part in a Designer Show to take place at Lancaster Jaguar, London Road on Thursday 22 March at 7:30pm. It’s going to be a fantastic evening featuring a fashion show, live jazz, champagne and canapés, goodie bags and a prize draw – and it’s all for a good cause too, as it’s in aid of Scannappeal, a charity which is hoping to raise funds for two mobile breast screening units based in the local community. Tickets are £30 (ring 01494 734161 or go to www.scannappeal.org.uk/events). Book soon and join in the fun!

But the action doesn’t stop there – our Woodbridge Store is also taking part in a fashion show at Woodbridge School, Hasketon Road on 8 March. The catwalk will feature Spring/Summer 2012 collections from local boutiques in aid of the Hunger Project. Tickets are £12 for adults and £6 for pupils. Call 01394 615015 for more details.

Of course the other exciting news at Chatterton’s is the redesign of the website and the fact that you will soon be able to buy online – perfect if you’ve only got a five minute lunch window but are in desperate need of a fashion fix!

Bye for now!
