Stylish clothing, shoes and accessories and an unerring eye for detail are the hallmarks of Allee boutique. One of the first quality women’s apparel stores in Grand Cayman, the boutique has been championing the right of women to source exclusive brands for over a decade. Located in the Galleria Plaza, the upscale fashion emporium has on-trend lines for daytime, casual wear, career wear and formal evening wear. From bead encrusted evening gowns from international fashion houses like Joseph Ribkoff, figure enhancing denim wear in an array of styles and colours by Not Your Daughters to office separates that are both fashionable and professional, Allee has it all.
“We’ve always been interested in accommodating our clients’ wishes and enjoy sourcing lines that make a statement,” says owner and buyer Angella Meggs.
To this end the store never stocks more than one dress in any size. “The last thing we or our clients want to see is someone else in the same outfit, especially when it comes to dressing to impress for special occasions.”
The boutique is also happy to assist clients in assembling a capsule wardrobe that will take the wearer from the office and then to a function with the addition of a few elegant accessories and clothing items. Day dresses, cocktail frocks, sweeping red carpet style gowns in the latest fabrics, cuts and styles are in plentiful supply and only an arm’s reach away in the stylishly appointed store. Shirts and pants including show stoppers from Lux can be dressed up or dressed down to give the wearer an easy elegance and stylish elan.
Top clothing items off with Allee’s impressive range of up to the minute oh so soft genuine Italian leather handbags and shoes in a tempting range of styles and sizes and it’s easy to see why the store has for so long been the go-to boutique on the Island. David Meistser, Joseph Ribkoff, Jones of New York and Maggy London, among other top labels, dresses will brighten up any wardrobe and leave you confident that you’ll turn heads and look your best for any function.
“We calculate that the average working woman will need at least six new outfits to see her comfortably through the holiday season and we order the very latest tops, trousers, skirts, bags, hats, jackets, dresses and accessories to ensure that all tastes are catered for,” the owner says.
Top the store’s latest offerings off with a dazzling costume jewellery piece or set and it’s easy to see why its new arrivals don’t stay in the store for long. “Women’s fashion is our passion,” says Angella.
“One of the greatest compliments is when long-time customers bring in their daughters and friends. When we make a sale we make a lifelong client,” she adds.
And for bargain hunters there’s plenty to tempt the eye on the boutique’s easy on the pocketbook sales rail. “We take our commitment to our customers seriously and enjoy passing on selected discounts whenever possible. We love finding the best products for our store and our clients appreciate that.”
With many years in an ultra competitive business, that dedication is a big part of Allee’s enduring appeal.
