Per Una Factory Shop

A while ago I can remember seeing a thread about a per una factory shop in Leicestershire, I think it only opened a couple of days a fortnight. I will be in this area in a couple of weeks so 'ping' I thought I would do some homework in advance and with a bit of luck pay them a visit.
Does anyone have/know the details etc
Many Thanks

  • You are definatly right it is in Leicester itself. I could kick myself because I thought I saved the location on multimap and now I can't find it. I would be very surprised if anyone who knows the location and opening times will spill the beans as I think people who sell BNWT Per Una items on ebay get their stock from there so it's pretty top secret!

    However I have just searched on this site and came up with this address;Syston road, Cossington, Leicester but I can't confirm it's correct. Let me know hopw you get on and if it's worth the trip.

    Hope that helps!

    HELP! I'm going to Leicester this weekend 17th October hoping to visit the Per Una Shop/factory but there is no message on the phone about opening hours for this week - does anyone know if they have ceased trading or if there is any other outlets in the Leicestershire area.:confused:
  • It was open last Friday, but not sure if it's open this weekend.

    There's a market stall on Loughborough Market sells the Per Una stuff every Thursday and Saturday. Slightly more expensive than the factory shop but still bargains to be had :j
  • I've called them and the message on the phone says that it's open:

    Friday 17 October - 10:00 till 16:00
    Saturday 18 October - 09:00 till 13:00

    Don't know if this is of any interest but there are two shops on Watergate Street in Chester, nearly opposite each other, called 'Coco' and 'The Mill Shop' that sell lots of Per Una, as well as other high street, seconds.

    I got a gorgeous John Rocha brown cashmere jumper from there in January for a fiver!

    Happy bargain hunting,
