SHOPPING for special occasions has never been easier and more fun thanks to a new service in Cork.
Coast by Appointment, from the Patrick St outlet, is the complimentary, bespoke styling service offering access to your own style advisor when shopping for those times you want to look your very best. The retail experience offers expert style advice in the luxury of your own private space — the serene surroundings of Coast’s appointment rooms.
Available for both personal and group consolations, Coast by Appointment makes an event out of shopping for such fashion moments, providing exceptional service, including champagne and nibbles to start the celebrations.
Perfect when shopping for weddings (bridesmaid, mother of the bride etc.), black tie events, parties, formal occasions or giving you the confidence to refresh your wardrobe with the expertise of the style advisor, there’s no obligation to purchase.
Booking has never been easier with the new quick and easy online booking service.
Visit the Coast website, www.coast-stores.com where you’ll be guided through the step by step process of selecting the store, time, date and what occasion you’re shopping for.
Style options can be prepared in advance and you’ll be sent a reminder text before your scheduled arrival.
