CoGoGo are pleased to welcome to the market Cahoots (Ladies).

This stylish boutique has been operated by the current vendor for over 20 years in which time it has built up an enviable reputation for quality and service within the City for style, elegance and expert advice on all aspects of women’s clothing and which due to retirement this rare and exciting opportunity has now become available.

The business currently sells a range of designer women’s clothing which includes evening wear, formal wear, dresses, jeans, jackets, shoes & accessories plus a fabulous range of underwear and swimwear. The business has long-established supplier arrangements with the likes of Maria Bellentani, Lauren Vidal, Hanro, Marie Jo, Maryan Melhorn, Gant, Sbelt-Jeans and jj Garella to name just a few.

This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to take a respected and long-established business to the next level by developing a strong on-line presence creating an additional selling platform as well as introducing new product lines to further expand the existing customer base.

This is an excellent business opportunity which will have a wide appeal and would suit either an individual or partnership looking for a fresh challenge with a keen eye for style or for an already established operator looking for stylish premises or an additional site with the opportunity to travel to shows and suppliers creating their own style.

The current vendor is also happy to work with the new owner over a transition period to make the necessary introductions to suppliers and existing customers to enable the business to continue to flourish and to also offer sound advice when required.
