Elite Dress Ageny has been around for decades. 4 to be precise. That kind of longevity means they must be doing something right. Starting life as a warehouse all those years ago, its founder Richard Makin began selling all kinds of wares from furniture to bric-à-brac. Later the main emphasis became clothing, but not just any clothing: only designer brands. Working on consignment, you bring the clothes, they vet the clothes, then they sell the clothes to the eager locals looking for a bargain. From Gucci, Marc Jacobs and Lanvin, to high street favourites like Karen Millen, there’s something for every budget. I myself have my eye on the red and black check dress in the window for £80. Now I just have to convince someone to buy it for me for Christmas.
