Spring is finally upon us, making it the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe and treat yourself to some new pieces for the summer season.

Temperley Somerset is holding a sample sale at their Ilminster store from March 16-20, where you can try on and buy their vast collections from across several seasons.

We chat to Alice Temperley, founder of the celebrity-worn, Vogue-acclaimed brand, who shares four benefits of shopping at the sample sale:

1) Quality, unique clothing for everyday wear

In an industry dominated by fast-fashion, Temperley Somerset is offering a local-turned-international brand of luxury, high-quality pieces, designed for anyone, for any occasion.

“The sample sale will include a variety of unique and distinctive items that embody Somerset and country living in a fashion-forward way,” Alice says. “You’ll be able to browse ready-to-wear and evening-wear from past seasons at reduced prices.”
