We Are An Online Independent Ladieswear Boutique, Run By A Family Team.
Our journey commenced in 2009, offering pop-up events and personalised at-home shopping experiences across East Midlands. In 2012, we opened our inaugural boutique in Flying Horse Walk. Since then, our path has led us through charming alleys and arcades across Nottingham, including Bridlesmith Walk, Cobden Chambers and Bridlesmith Gate.
In addition to our carefully curated collection of garments and accessories, we offer a personal touch. Our team is well-versed in colour and style analysis, ensuring we provide that extra touch of guidance to help you discover your ideal piece.
We celebrate individuality, understanding that each person possesses distinct style preferences, body proportions, and colour preferences. Our aim is to work with you to accentuate your finest features and elevate your personal style.

As Seen On...

At the core of our styling ethos lies the understanding of our body proportions, a perspective we value more than conventional body shape classifications like an 'apple' or 'pear'.
As part of a style consultation, we include body proportion analysis.
We look at 3 elements:
- Whether you have long or short legs (in relation to the top half of your body)
- Whether you have wide or narrow shoulders (in relation to your hips)
- Whether you have a long or a short waist
To do this we use a STICK and a RIBBON!
Once we know your body proportions, we can give you some clear guidelines as to where your hemlines should sit, sleeve lengths, style of jackets etc - all with the aim of rebalancing your body (and ofter making you look slimmer and taller!)

Stick & Ribbon is more than just a place to buy the latest fashion.

Testimonials
I love everything about Stick & Ribbon. The staff are wonderful as they give good advice about what suits me, always tell me if something doesn't, and will find me outfits that I would otherwise have missed.
The staff are friendly and helpful but not intrusive or pushy, the range of clothes and sizes is extensive and I recently went on holiday and packed a capsule set of outfits all from Stick & Ribbon and felt good everyday.

Super liaison with the retailers, great speedy advice about size and fit, and immediate dispatch. Wonderful range of clothes which you don't see other people wearing. I'm always asked when I'm wearing Stick & Ribbon, where do you shop / where did you find that?
One of my favourite go-to places.
Lisa H.
I bought 2 scarves after they had sold out everywhere online and was delighted to receive them within 36hrs, all prettily packaged. It's definitely a nicer experience to shop from a small UK business rather than give my hard earned money to Amazon!
A. Macarney
#1 spot for independent shopping in Nottingham. Sally & Ellie are the most wonderful team and have such unique, special pieces that you won't find everywhere that end up being real highlights of your wardrobe. I always LOVE paying them a visit & always leave with a smile on my face after a great chat too.
Romy D.
Absolutely love this shop. Always something different. I get a lot of compliments about my clothes. I don't bother shopping anywhere else as I never go home disappointed at Stick & Ribbon. Great honest service.
Dorothy A.
Great quality products and always beautifully wrapped. Posted quickly and always excellent service. Probably just as well I don't live locally or I would have no cash whatsoever by now!!
Jaime H.
Amazing ladies, if you are planning a Nottingham shopping spree, you must visit!!
Elle M.
Great advice from Sally and Ellie. A great selection of designers. Lovely little shop if you want something different to standard high street.
Helen.
Essential Antwerp is my favourite brand and to have a sale treasure is also wonderful. High quality customer service. I ordered a jacket that was too small and needed the next size. I received the exchange the next day. Thank you Sally and Ellie.
