The famously colourful brand that’s well-known for its bold offering of dresses and loungewear will be offering a stunning selection of womenswear and children’s fashion. Founded in 2016 by Jo Tutchener-Sharp following a lengthy stay in hospital undergoing brain surgery, the brand reaches far beyond fashion with a focus on giving back. For each Superhero Sleep Buddy sold, another is donated to a child who has lost a parent or is seriously ill themselves. Similarly, for every Super Scarf sold, another is donated to a woman with cancer or the mother of a child with cancer. So far, Scamp & Dude has donated over 5000 Superhero Sleep Buddies and 5500 Super Scarves. The new Marlow store creates a space for the local community to come together and enjoy a range of events throughout the year. Marlow is local to Scamp & Dude’s birthplace and is intended as the brand’s new home for continued growth far into the future. Jo tells us, “Marlow seemed like the perfect place to open our flagship store, partly because it’s our local town, but also because it’s such a vibrant place to be. The Scamp & Dude shop will be so much more than just a retail space, it will also be used to hold regular events too, bringing the community together. We can’t wait to welcome customers into the world of Scamp & Dude.” To shop, visit https://scampanddude.com YOUR STORY BRIDAL BOUTIQUE OPENS IN MARLOW Exclusive bridal boutique Your Story opens its doors in Liston Court, Marlow this August.
