UK Information

We are open 6 days a week. Only a fraction of our stock is displayed in the shop, as we feel this lets us offer a more personalized service. Our aim is to treat every customer as an individual and offer a luxurious, enjoyable shopping experience. The changing rooms are equipped with comfortable settees and complimentary tea and coffee. We feel this adds to the relaxed informal atmosphere.

We also have a personal shopping service, so if you work odd hours or have family commitments, just give us a ring on (44) 01947 604702 and we will arrange to open just for you, anytime of the day or night! Our dedicated team of staff are also happy to do home visits, if you are unable to make the trip up to us.

History

On moving to Whitby from Melbourne, East Yorkshire, Olivia Wells spotted the lack of a really friendly shopping experience for intimate apparel and thus Fishnets Lingerie was born! She had spent the previous eighteen years in Oriental Carpets and textiles as a broker, her love of textiles shows in the stock at Fishnets Lingerie; which opened in 2002 with a bang. Owner Olivia Wells and daughter Louise Wells greeted their first customers with free champagne and live models in the windows (causing more then a few near car accidents)!

Since our first few months we have gone from strength to strength; building a strong foundation of excellent customer service and adding nightwear, hosiery, swim wear, gloves, shoes, accessories and designer make-up to the already exemplary range of stock.

With the addition of this web site, bringing the convenience of online browsing and shopping, with next day delivery, we are reaching more customers nationwide than ever before.

sister shop Soul2Sole opened in 2006 just two doors away where they sell a wide selection of shoes and accessories. For more information visit their website.
