Fancy a little shopping trip? Well of course you do. A favourite in Winchester’s fabulous independent scene, Pavilion Fashion is right in the heart of it all close to the Cathedral. Convenient, of course, for skipping off for a long lunch afterwards at one of the great restaurants nearby.

Super friendly and always happy to help, owner Mandy Macartney and her friendly, clued-up, fashion loving team offer a fab choice of men and women’s fashion. On the rails, you’ll find loads of quality brands that aren’t available on the high street. Among them are Danish brands like the ultra-feminine Minus and Knowledge Cotton, a pioneer in ethical sustainable clothing.

Smart or casual, there’s loads here for the guys, too, from jackets and ties to jeans and shirts for all occasions. And there are more brilliant international brands like Holebrook (Sweden) and Bavarian jeans brand Mac Mens (which also make women’s jeans, if you’re in the market).

And oh – let’s pause for a minute to enjoy the cool, quirky and oh-so beautiful Karen Mabon pyjamas… Go forth and explore, ladies!
