Dear Patron, Customer and Fan…. 06 February 2009 S.D.H.Q London

Supersite under construction. Online shopping, business as usual…

and then some…

Okay, no complaints about the weather this time… we are learning to love and embrace the snow, a rarity here in London. The purpose of this email is to firstly squeal our absolute delight at the awesome accolade that is the 2009 Doty Awards. We are delighted to have received an Industries Choice Doty once again this year for Queen B; our MarlB exclusive.

In celebration of this, the ‘girls’ needed a new gown… and it seems one of them won! Reef, a gorgeous slithering concoction of transparency, hand beading and shades of coral, pink and red….. Available from our site later today! Be there!
