Neston shop finalist for New Independent Boutique of the Year

A Neston shop specialising in womenswear has been selected as a finalist in the Boutique Star Awards 2024. 

Hilary James, originally from Stoke-On-Trent, who now lives in Raby Mere, and Sue Byrne from Altrincham, now living in Willaston, opened Wardrobe at The Cross on High Street in Neston last year.

The pair met through Hilary’s husband and quickly became friends bonding over fashion and styling before opening Wardrobe at The Cross together.

The shop which sells small independent brands including unique pieces of clothing, jewellery, candles and handbags has now been shortlisted as a finalist in the New Independent Boutique of the Year category by Boutique Magazine.

Hilary James said: “Sue and I are absolutely delighted to be shortlisted as a finalist for New Independent Boutique of the Year 2024 in the Boutique Magazine Awards.

“This recognition means so much, not only to us personally but also to the wonderful community of Neston, which has supported us from the very beginning.

This year’s winners will be announced on Thursday, November 7 at a celebratory party of London’s May Fair Hotel.
