3 Weeks to go and George recommends……


What would George like to find in his stocking on Christmas morning if he were human?!  That’s the question we’ve put to him this week and as ever, he’s certainly got sophisticated taste with a little treat from the luxury brand, Creed, topping his Christmas list!  And, in the county of Cumbria, Abrahams is the only retailer stocking this elegant range.  It’s a beautiful product with a superb history.
More than 250 years old, ‘The House of Creed’ was founded in London in 1760 by James Henry Creed and rapidly became the fragrance of choice for both Queen Victoria and the European Nobility.  In 1854, the House of Creed moved to Paris, from where it operates today.  For many years, it remained the best kept secret of the perfume world, known to but a few, yet patronised by the seriously rich, chic and famous.

From Heads of State to film stars, Creed’s client list has reached all areas of affluent society.  Over the years, the Creed family has produced more than 200 fragrances, all original, hand-made and testifying to a unique creative spirit that has been passed down through seven generations.
Come in and see us and we will be delighted to take you through this extraordinary collection.

4 Weeks to go and George recommends……


Our new puppy George has certainly got an eye for the elegant and has been taking a good look around the store for his next recommendation in the countdown to Christmas.  As usual, Abrahams have come up with a very unique product, ideal for the perfect stocking filler.
New in-store are these fabulous men’s cotton handkerchief’s from British company, Spencer Bryson.  The business was established in 1891, and today, over 115 years later, they remain the UK market leader in cotton and linen handkerchiefs, as well as exporting around the world.

Priced at only £2 each, it’s a small price to pay for an accessory as beautiful as this and as you can imagine, interest is high!  Not only are these wonderful for use as handkerchiefs, but also for neckerchiefs, with one of our customers actually buying one as a neckerchief for her dog! 
It’s little wonder therefore, that George selected these as his ‘recommendation of the week’.  I suspect there might just be a Spencer Bryson gift in his stocking this Christmas!

With products carefully formulated using the very best that nature has to offer - beeswax, botanical and essential oils, herbs, flowers and minerals, this range of products is totally natural.

News Article in the Manchester Gazette!


London-based designer, Tamara Fogle, chooses ‘Abrahams’ as sole Cumbrian Stockist

Family run boutique, ‘Abrahams’ of Kirkby Lonsdale has announced the arrival of an exclusive new range of bags by distinguished London-based British designer, Tamara Fogle.

Established in London’s fashionable Notting Hill in 2007, designer Tamara has combined a love of British, French and American Vintage to create the Tamara Fogle design ethos behind her brand. Combining leather and textiles, the semi-aniline Italian leather gets better with age and the antique textiles are re-used for their unique patina and aesthetic. Therefore, Tamara’s bags are completely individual, not only rendering them unique, but leaving a smaller carbon footprint with less waste. With the bags created in a family run factory in London, she is able to ensure the very finest quality and heritage of British design and industry.
Commenting on the new range, ‘Abrahams’ owner Mark Carney said; “Not only do we love her products, but also her ethos behind the brand. Following a summer of Olympic sport with the eyes of the world on the UK, it’s a great time to be championing everything British and we are thrilled to be stocking this exceptional collection. Tamara’s bags are inspiring, different and beautiful, the very same qualities that we aspire to here at ‘Abrahams’.”

‘Abrahams’ recently reported buoyant trading conditions at a time of continued economic uncertainty across the country, with a significant increase in trading figures in comparison to 2011 and owners Mark and Anne Carney are keen to continue this growth in a difficult market. Outstanding customer service and unique, refined pieces such as the new Tamara Fogle range, continue to attract both new customers and the loyal clientele for which ‘Abrahams’ has become renowned.

It's a wrap at Abrahams!

A little effort goes a long way and it’s the small things that make a big difference.  Here at Abrahams, we are continuously championing the value of good customer service and it’s one of our greatest qualities.

So, for those of you who aren’t aware, we provide a free gift-wrapping service throughout the year, not just for Christmas.  It’s one of the little extra’s that we are happy to provide for our customers.

However, for this service and for those who would like to, we happily and gratefully accept any small donations to a UK based charity very close to our hearts – ‘New Beginnings’, aimed at providing food, shelter and safety for orphans and street children in the Ukraine.

Now, that would make a very big difference.

The Olympic torch is delayed….by the Abraham’s Sale!

It has been reported that the procession of the Olympic torch has been delayed by a significant stop-off in the beautiful and historic village of Kirkby Lonsdale.

According to local witnesses, the Abraham’s half-price sale, which began on Saturday 21st July, appeared to be the cause of the interruption in proceedings, with the torch bearer unable to resist the lure of a bargain.

With savings of more than 50% on all clothing and accessories*, the Abraham’s sale has been a firm fixture in the calendar of their discerning clientele for more than a decade, and is a favourite for those who appreciate products that are beautifully made and classically designed.

“We were surprised that the torch-bearer was able to carry the torch under the weight of so many bags of goodies” said a local by-stander. 

*Sale excludes ‘Creed’ range.

Daisy goes Crazy for Creed!

It would appear that it’s not only our two legged customers who are enticed by the scent of our delicious range of ‘Creed’ perfumes.  

Our gorgeous four legged friend, Daisy, a Lancashire-Heeler cross, visited Abraham’s recently and found difficulty in choosing a favourite from our extensive range.
The famous Creed brand is now more than 250 years old and has graced the necks of the most affluent individuals, from Queen Victoria to Princess Grace of Monaco, who wore ‘Fleurrisimo’ on her wedding day.
Available exclusively at Abraham’s in the county of Cumbria, the Creed brand represents the values we hold so dear at Abraham’s – individuality, elegance and a timeless quality.
You’ll have to be quick though.  I have it on good authority that Daisy is spreading the word…..
