If anything injected me with the fashion buzz, that was working at Sarah Coggles in York. This truly iconic store began as a humble yet quirky market stall, back in 1974, by Victoria Bage. It has since then become two shops, one for women, and one for men. With over 80 brands in stock, including Vivienne Westwood, Fornarina, Diesel, Paul Smith and many more, this award-winning store is one of the most iconic places in York.
Their staff aim to create a unique fashion experience for whoever enters the shop. Personal care, style advice, working there meant learning a lot and fast, but it was the one of the most inspirational periods in my life. Sadly, I left the UK and that was the end of some fantastic months at Sarah Coggles.
Since then, the store has entered the world of online retailing (hooray for that) and has added more stunning brands to its collection. If you are ever in York, it would be a sin, a huge one, not to go by Sarah Coggles.
