Sprinkle Emporium

The day I found Sprinkle was one of true elation. Sure, I’m not exactly one to have a lot of spare dosh lying around, but when it comes to truly beautifully crafted clothing it’s always worth it to save out and splash out on the one that truly steals your fancy.
Once you’ve bought one Sprinkle creation it’s hard to stifle the addiction. All the clothes are locally designed by Sprinkle herself and locally manufactured, where she can keep a watchful eye on the quality, being a renowned fusspot when it comes to her precious apparel. And they are indeed precious.
The emphasis is on curves and femininity, with all the clothes knowing what to skim and what to highlight. Double breasted winter coats that make you feel like a movie star from the 1950s, brightly coloured wrap dresses and tailored pencil skirts are a few of her more notable design staples, but the collections are all unique to that season. The fabrics are all high quality, and there’s always splashes of bright colour and texture in each collection. All the designs are made on a very limited run, and for some there’s only one garment made in each size. Each season/​collection has its’ own unique theme and influence, eg. classical Japanese during this last winter, and 1950s cocktail hour for the summer of ²⁰¹¹⁄₂₀₁₂.
The staff are all enthusiastic, professional and well informed about the designs, and will never try and sell you something that you don’t feel comfortable in or that isn’t quite you. The prices are exactly what you’d expect for locally designed and produced clothing, so it’s certainly not accessible to absolutely everyone, but if you can afford it or can afford to get saving, the clothes are definitely worth it.
