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.

It is that time of the year again; the mad rush to buy the last few Christmas gifts for friends and family is well under way. But whilst millions flock to overcrowded shopping centres, a much more peaceful shopping experience can be found at independent outlets like our very own Kilver Court.

We have made a special effort to provide unusual, well priced gift ideas for everyone you could possibly think of: quality clothing, delicious organic food, tasteful homewares, beautiful perfume and unusual furniture are just some of the things you can find in our Emporium and Farm Shop here in Somerset.

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.
