‘Escape to the Coast’ is the gift, interiors and fashion shop newly opened on Lower Street, Dartmouth, next door to Café Alf Resco.
Karen Hearn, who previously ran a similar shop in Kings Langley in Herfordshire, is the owner. Karen and her family have spent many holidays in/around Dartmouth and have now fulfilled their dream of “escaping to the coast”… The shop is the first step and finding a permanent home in/around Dartmouth is the next.
The new shop replicates the same formula as Karen’s former shop, which she ran successfully for 6 years. It’s a mixture of personal gifts, fashion items and interior products from jewellery, bags, scarves, men’s cufflinks, purses and wallets as well as fragrances and soaps, toiletries, candles and diffusers, pictures and greeting cards etc.
Karen has focused her energies, experience and retail skills on locating and selling a range of eclectic and beautiful items from popular brands such as Katie Loxton, Joma Jewellery, Jo Downs Glass, Rader, Art Marketing and The Somerset Toiletry Company as well as more unique pieces from small independent designers.
You’ll find many reasonably priced gifts from £5 to £50. Usefully, there’s a free gift wrapping service and the shop is open 7 days a week from 9.30am – 5.30pm.
