Pockets, the independent premium boutique trusted by style-conscious men across the Midlands for almost three decades, has expanded its Shrewsbury store with the launch of a dedicated womenswear collection. This curated edit is available exclusively in store and features standout pieces from renowned international brands including Max Mara, Herno, A.P.C., Paige, and Ralph Lauren, with a Mulberry range arriving soon. 

 

The collection offers a blend of premium casual, smart-casual and occasion wear. 

 

Paul Platt, Founder, comments: “It’s been a long time coming. We’ve had a lot of customers – their wives, partners, daughters – ask if we’d bring in womenswear. This felt like the right time, and Shrewsbury was certainly the right place. It’s where we started, almost thirty years ago, and I’m overjoyed with the response so far. It’s incredible.” 

 

He adds: “We want to create the same experience for women as we have for men. Our boutiques are known for their carefully chosen brands and exceptional service, and I’m proud to have kept that ethos with this launch. Pockets is very much the kind of place you want to come back to, whether you’re shopping for menswear or, now, womenswear.” 

 

Founded by Paul Platt in 1996, Pockets has built a loyal following of style-conscious men seeking impeccable service and high-quality garments. Pockets currently occupies over 10,200 sq ft of retail space and employs a team of 30. The range has just launched, but early signs point to growth across other product lines, such as Aesop beauty and wellness. 

 

Pockets Shrewsbury is open from 9am–5.15pm Monday to Saturday, and 11am–3pm on Sundays. The womenswear collection is available exclusively in store at 7A The Square, Shrewsbury, SY1 1LA.
