Lingerie specialists Rigby & Peller have expanded into the North of England for the first time with a new boutique in Harrogate. Rigby & Peller chairman Dirk De Vos says: ‘It is an exciting time for the business as we celebrate 75 years in the lingerie industry. We have listened to demand from our customers to open in the north and are thrilled to have found the perfect location in the beautiful town of Harrogate.’

June Kenton, corsetiere to the Queen, adds: ‘I gave a talk at Salts Mills for a Marie Curie fundraising event a few months ago and there was a standing ovation from the audience when I announced we were planning to open a Rigby & Peller in the north. We are proud to introduce the skills and expertise of our world famous lingerie stylists to the ladies of the area.’
