Fair Isle

Haberdashers are a rare sight, given the rapid expansion of out of town retail parks but Marlborough is fortunate enough to have a wonderful independent haberdashery shop right in the middle of the High Street.

Fair Isle, is one of the longest established shops in Marlborough and has an enormous selection of knitting equipment, sewing, trimming supplies, children's wear and a great range of gifts.

Ribbons, buttons, needles and threads in many styles and finishes fill one side of this friendly shop - with every colour and style of wool imaginable on the other side, by Sirdar, Wendy & Rowan.

There are patterns and help books, for everyone from beginners to experts and if you need something just pop into the shop and browse through the many products they carry in stock.

You can also choose the perfect christening gifts from a selection by Wedgewood, dolls house furniture by Streets Ahead and an assortment of teddy bears, including the famous wellie-wearing Paddington Bear!
Expert advice and helpful personal assistance is available for all customers.

Venture a little further into the shop and you will find clothes for babies to eight year olds including silk christening gowns, dresses by Sarah Louise, and Emile et Rose and hand- made sweaters in beautiful traditional designs.

A latest addition is a range of children's swimwear with a built in UVF50+ a wonderful invention for peace of mind in hot weather.

This shop is what independent retailing is all about, individuality, choice and expert advice.
