BLUE KNOWS BEST<br />

Struggling for inspiration? Unsure what suits you?<br />

Hear why you should probably be taking a trip to Saffron<br />

Walden’s boutique, blue...<br />

For over 17 years, blue has been the little independent, ‘ladies in the know’ visit when<br />

they’re in Saffron Walden. blue has built a sizeable, loyal customer base with ladies visiting<br />

from across the UK. We caught up with blue’s owner, Hayley Attridge, who sheds a little<br />

light on her success so far. “My customers always tell me they love the little one-offs they<br />

simply don’t find anywhere else. I choose timeless, easy to wear, pieces which can easily<br />

be integrated into their wardrobes. Because of this, my ladies rarely leave empty handed!<br />

I believe one of blue’s secrets is that I picture four key ladies when I buy collections. These<br />

four ladies I call ‘Maggie, Mel, Emma and Megan’, and as I look at collections, I build each<br />

look around these ladies.”<br />

With its mixture of high street brands such as Sandwich and American Vintage, through to<br />

the individual chic French labels like Des Petits Hauts and SET as well as coveted footwear<br />

brands such as Ash, Hayley has ensured whichever lady you are, blue’s formula will have<br />

something that suits you. blue will be showing its new seasonal collection and the ‘four<br />

ladies’ at our forthcoming <strong>Velvet</strong> Fashion Show on Thursday 6th <strong>October</strong> so it’s certainly<br />

worth coming along to see which look is for you...<br />

Go with Megan<br />

Megan loves the jewellery pieces. She<br />

visits the boutique when she’s looking for<br />

something special to wear, or a gift for a<br />

friend. The little French frocks, tailored<br />

shorts and skinny jeans catch her eye too.<br />
