Ambiance of Colchester
Category - Ladies Fashions - Colchester
Ambiance of Colchester is the definitive boutique: 'a small shop selling fashionable clothes'. From Mother of the Bride, to Special Occasion Wear, Evening Wear and Smart Casual, Ambiance stocks an extensive range of clothing collections all united by two factors: quality and style.
Vicki Wheeler opened Ambiance on February 1st 1985 - a highly social event inaugurated by the then Mayor Janet Fulford. With 40 years experience as a fashion buyer for Holt Renfrew and The Hudson Bay Company in Canada behind her, Ambiance reflects Vicki's experience and intuition in the 'rag trade' - the ability to discern between trend and fashion never underestimated. Weddings, notably dressing Mothers of the Bride, Groom and guests are a speciality of Ambiance's - this ladies fashion boutique becoming the first port of call for Mothers of the Bride, Groom and guests in East Anglia and beyond. The satisfaction of the customer is valued above all else at Ambiance and the staff will go to great lengths to ensure this - one reason which explains the boutique's strong customer service reputation.
Ambiance continues to build a diverse and loyal clientele, many customers returning from overseas to visit the boutique and others whose loyalty Ambiance has retained ever since its first days. The boutique is a long-standing member of the community and has supported Cancer Research, Headway and St Helena's Hospice, among other charities, with fundraising events over the years. In 2007, Ambiance was officially recognised as one of the best businesses in Colchester for being a "long established business with a reputation for customer service and providing stylish clothes in a great location."
Ambiance's designer collections reflect an acute attention to detail; strong designs, striking prints and quality fabrics appear throughout the boutique:

Ambiance of Colchester endures into its 24th year as a testament to its founding principle: true style is timeless and quality priceless. The right outfit, whether it's a wedding or a casual weekend, can make all the difference to the way a woman feels and honest advice and well-designed stock are essential ingredients to this. Ambiance of Colchester's philosophy is that quality clothing merchandise can be bought; experience and loyalty cannot - these require a sincere commitment to the fashion trade and an uncompromising dedication to the customer, the hallmarks that have shaped Ambiance of Colchester for over 23 years. Established since 1985, the boutique has chronicled an extraordinary period in the fast-paced world of ladies fashion while artfully negotiating the path of true style - the one constant in two decades of seismic sartorial change. Ambiance's priority has always been customer loyalty: the boutique serves as a barometer of both lifestyle and fashion, adapting and reacting to the needs of its loyal clientele; a reciprocal relationship to which the boutique's success owes much. 23 years of excellence has brought the boutique a fluency in interpreting ladies fashion for all tastes, from weddings to casual wear, and a striking sense of style, both informed by witnessing the evolution fashion styles over two decades, while always listening to the customer.
