Colne vintage shop celebrates 2nd anniversary

Owner Sandra Fernandeze, who moved from London to East Lancashire, opened the shop in 2013 and will be dishing out sherry and nibbles to mark 24 months in the shop.

“I can’t believe it’s been 12 months since this photo of live mannequins was taken at Pendle Belles’ first anniversary celebrations,” said Sandra.

“The continued support from the people of Colne during the past year has been incredible.

“I am proud to be a member of the committee which has organised Colne’s entry into the national Best High Street competition this year and have no doubt our beautiful town, with its plethora of independent shops, will be shortlisted - and maybe even win.

“The high street only survives and prospers due to Colners’ continued support of local businesses so it’s important to thank them back.”
