We have an extensive range of experience & knowledge. Our family work ethos is highly regarded & we enjoy being a part of your special events & shopping experience.

With what started as a humble little idea to expand in 2002 trading from a tiny space inside our Mothership store expanded into a
Division of its own in 2009 – D E S S I N I STYLE BOUTIQUE.
