Patsy Seddon’s shop
Patsy Seddon has several women’s clothes shops. She works in contact with the buyer, a woman who helps her to buy clothes for all her shops. They are going to tell us about the clothes they choose for their customers.
They sell the basic things, like trousers and skirts and shirts and jumpers, and jackets. And women will also be able to buy the accessories that go with these clothes. These accessories are: shoes, bags, gloves, hats, scarves, belts – everything you might need to go with your outfit.
Patsy Seddon and her buyer choose the clothes for their shops in the wholesale fashion shops. They choose the clothes which they like themselves.
Every season has the colour. It is the key to wearing the right clothes. Actually, colour is one of the most important points. This year, for example, pale green and pink are popular.
Clothes excite women. They are desperate to buy them and wear them because they think they are going to look good in them. That’s the key thing: they want to look flattering and feel good.
