A women's clothes shop has moved to bigger premises in Boroughbridge after customers flocked to support independents in the town during coronavirus.

Espada Boutique, which opened its flagship store on St James Square around nine years ago, has now relocated to a new unit on Fishergate next to G Craggs Ltd.

The independent clothes shop, which is owned by Wendy Hepworth, also has a branch in Wetherby.

Alison Auckland, manager at Espada Boutique, told the Stray Ferret the move had been planned for a while but the extra customer support during coronavirus helped move it along.

She added:

"We have just outgrown the old shop. Everyone has supported us and Boroughbridge on a whole during the coronavirus lockdowns.
"At the old shop we had lots of new brands coming in but they were going straight off the shelves. We could not stock enough.
"Already we have a lot more stock coming in. It is heaven here. We have plenty of room but I am sure we will soon fill it."


Espada Boutique Boroughbridge reopened yesterday but it will hold a big launch on Saturday with prizes and prosecco up for grabs.
