Diamond Boutique is the brainchild of Sadie Powell, whose shop was recently located in Risca.

Her new store opened on June 18, stocking brands such as AX Paris, The Fashion Bible, Honeyz and Rare London.

Voice got the chance to speak to Sadie a few days before her opening night and here’s what she had to say:

“I got bored shopping in the same stores on the High Street,” Sadie told Voice.

“I’d see the same clothes every season – there was nothing really that stood out, plus you would see lots of other people wearing the same thing, which in a woman’s world can be a terrible thing.

“I started my clothes shop in the hopes of offering ladies something different, you won’t find any of these lines in high street stores, but you can find them online.

“Shopping online isn’t as good as shopping in real-life, as you don’t get the chance to feel the quality or try the item on to see if it fits. A lot of time is wasted having things sent to your home, only for them to be sent back again.

“At my new boutique, you can browse through a wide range of designer clothes and also get to try them on.

“I’ve personally hand-selected a wonderful summer collection, with ladies in mind who want something different and to stand-out from the crowd.

“Clothes sizes range from 6-16, and are priced from £14 to £50 – our clothes have a designer feel without paying a designer price tag!

“Looking towards autumn and winter I’m hoping to expand and offer shoes and accessories, so watch this space!

“To show off the clothes I’ve asked to local models, Laine Blakesley and Georgia Phasey (Ms Newport), to wear a few items for Voice Magazine. And as you can see from the photos, both girls look amazing!

After trying many options, Laine’s favourite is the Yellow dress from Honeyz at £45.99 and Georgia’s is the snakeskin dress at £27.

Both models were amazed by the quality of clothes and also the very affordable price tag.

So, if you’re looking for a unique outfit for a night on the town, party or special occasion, why not pop into Diamond Boutique, located at 177 Corporation Road, Newport NP19 0BJ.
