We are excited to share that Doodie Stark has been shortlisted for two of the prestigious Drapers Independent Awards for 2024! We are proud to be recognised in the categories of Womenswear Independent of the Year and Best Store Design . This is an incredible achievement and a testament to the passion, creativity and dedication that our entire team brings to the table every day.
The Drapers Independent Awards celebrate the achievements and creativity of the UK’s best independent fashion retailers. They recognise excellence across a range of categories, from women’s and menswear to marketing and social media use, and highlight the dedication that fuels the independent fashion sector. Every year, the event brings together leaders in the industry and showcases the talent that will define the future of fashion retail.
Womenswear Independent of the Year
Being shortlisted for this award is truly an incredible honour. It celebrates our constant commitment to offering a carefully curated selection of women’s fashion that is all about empowering women to express themselves through ‘grown up’ style. We pride ourselves on offering pieces that are not only beautiful but also versatile, comfortable and made with the highest quality materials.
This nomination is also a reflection of our dedication to creating the perfect service for our customers and the environment we provide. We are constantly striving to bring you the best experience in store, having extensive product knowledge, going out of our way to tailor every service to a unique persona and providing a warm, happy and safe environment. Being recognised in this category has inspired us to continue pushing the boundaries of what an independent womenswear retailer can be.
Best Store Design
Doodie Stark has always been more than just a place to shop - it’s an experience. We have always tried to convey this, ever since the opening of our first Lindfield store. Now, with our bespoke Old Bakehouse, we have created an environment that feels welcoming, inspiring and reflective of our brand’s identity from the moment you walk through our doors. Being shortlisted for Best Store Design is a recognition of how hard we worked to create a brand new destination store that blends the Doodie Stark aesthetics with function and excitement. Whether it’s thoughtfully curated displays, an innovative use of space, or truly impactful details, every element of our store has been designed to enhance the overall experience.
