    Women’s fashion retailer Best Kept Secret will open a new Harrogate store tomorrow.

    The shop, which launched in 2016, was previously based in Kirkby Overblow.

    Owned by Fiona Martin, it sells a wide range of women’s clothing, including evening wear, shoes, accessories and everyday items. It also operates an online store.

    Ms Martin said the new store presented an opportunity to expand the shop's personal shopping experience.

    Groups can book private shopping evenings and there are also plans to hold more fashion shows at the new venue, she added.

    Ms Martin told the Stray Ferret that after seven years of trading in the village it was “time for a change.”

    She added:

    “The Best Kept Secret social media account was hacked in August this year and we lost 10,000 followers.
    “It had a real impact, so we thought it was a good time for a change and we decided to move into town.”


    Best Kept Secret closed its doors in Kirkby Overblow yesterday. The new Harrogate store can be found on Cheltenham Parade.

    Ms Martin said:

    “We’ve already got gorgeous, loyal customers and we can’t wait to meet new ones too.
    “Being in town will be great and will be easier for people to travel to – especially groups that book a bespoke shopping evening with a glass of fizz!
    “People can expect even more affordable and stylish brands - we’re just so excited.”
