Forget the mad boxing day sales – here at Kilver Court we like to do things a little differently. With up to 75% off our brands at the Emporium, you can expect big discounts, but in a much more relaxed setting. Our lovely staff will be on hand to help you find that special post-Christmas treat, whether it is a soft cashmere cardigan, a sparkly Isabella Oliver dress (New Year’s Eve parties are calling!) or some relaxed Sunspel loungewear.

Then unwind in our Harlequin Café with a mug of hot chocolate and a cake… perfect.

We sent Stew, our talented visual merchandiser, off on a mission to find the best deals.

We are delighted to have Hawick, one of the finest cashmere producers in Scotland, join us at Kilver Court. This is the cashmere company that all the top designer brands choose to make their own designs, and one that I have known for over 30 years. There is something very special about the fine cashmere garments the company produces, often with several generations of one family having worked at their nineteenth century mill in the town of Hawick.

The cashmere used in Hawick pieces is especially selected for its exceptional softness, with each fibre being no wider than 16.5 microns. After being hand combed from the undercoat of the Hyrcus goat, the fibres are separated using a method developed by the Scottish manufacturer Joseph Dawson, a process that helped to create Scotland’s reputation as the leading producer of luxury cashmere.

A Hawick cashmere jumper would make an extra special Christmas present for a loved one, (me please, Monty!). Luxury cashmere is made to last a life time; it’s what I choose time and again. We now have both mens and womens knitwear in stock, all at 50% of the original price. We also have some amazing value cashmere scarves at £37.50 (originally £75).

I’m delighted to announce the opening of our new AUBIN  & WILLS outlet.

AUBIN & WILLS, the ‘sophisticated sibling of cult label Jack Wills’, was launched in 2008. Jack Wills is one of the great latter day British fashion success stories. The company lives by its motto ‘inspired by the past, living in the present’, which translates into unique items of clothing that expertly combine British heritage style and sophisticated modern design.

I first met Pete Williams, the founder of both brands, back in the summer as we were shopfitting the Designer Emporium at Kilver Court. He instantly understood what we were trying to do and said, 'I want to bring Aubin here!'. The industrial design of our 19th century textile mills and the whole regeneration theme perfectly fitted with the ethos of the brand.

Some four months later, and with a really great team, we are now open. Interestingly, the face of this Winter’s Aubin & Wills campaign is Alex James (Blur musician), who also happens to be an organic cheese farmer - so fashion, food and music are never far away. Another fascinating link is that Aubin have used Fox Brothers, a wonderful old textile mill in Somerset that we used to use at Mulberry for our Covert cloth for coats, for their own Winter campaign. Our Somerset neighbour Deborah Meaden (of Dragon’s Den fame) has recently invested in this beautiful mill.

At Kilver Court, Aubin & Wills are offering both womenswear and menswear at discounted prices. With beautifully merchandised displays and knowledgeable handpicked sales staff, you can expect a very pleasurable shopping experience.

Our second Grand Designer Sale took place last weekend, seeing large numbers flood through the gates at Kilver Court to pick up some designer bargains in time for Christmas. With discounts of up to 80%, delighted shoppers left our sales marquee with bags filled with beautiful clothing, accessories and homewares.

We were very excited to have several new brands joining us over the weekend, including Joseph, Edit Blue, Crumpet cashmere, Hartford, Rotary Watches, Ilse Jacobsen and Les Prairies de Paris. We also welcomed back our best sellers from the summer sale, including Isabella Oliver, Duchamp and Pedlars, as well as the ever popular Toast which once again occupied the Jardine’s Ballroom.
