Winter Sale starts January 2nd at 10 am

We have been scratching our heads for some time, trying to find a way to say thank you during sale time to those customers who support us year round. We think we have come up with the answer.

Our Winter Sale starts on January 2nd but for the whole of the month we are offering an extra 20% discount to everyone who is on our (e)mailing list. To sign up and be able to take advantage of this great offer please go to the newsletter page of our website

New Years Resolutions

At this time of year we all want to do something positive for those around us The Retail Champion shows how to help your community just by changing your shopping habits

Artichoke is coming to town ....

......or to be more precise the fine city of Norwich. For one week only (Monday 3rd to Sunday 9th December) we will be in The Eden Craft Tent which is situated outside Chapelfields, our regional shopping centre.

If you are in the city shopping please pop in and say hello. We will have great gift ideas including LouenHide handbags (see below), Dante Jewellery, faux fur boot toppers, socks,scarves and lots of sweatshirts, gilets, jackets and knitwear plus the odd Bariloche shirt.

Of course we are not on our own and the other independent traders in the marquee with us will be able to offer you lots of gift ideas too.

We are open from 9am to 8pm every day except Thursday when we shut at 10pm and Sunday at 5pm respectively.

LouenHide Handbags

Recently launched in the UK LouenHide, Austrailia's favourite handbag is for every woman every day.

A great bag at a great price (starting from £59) for the woman who likes accessories with a little bit of exclusivity - currently there are only 20 UK stockists and one in Norfolk - which of course is Artichoke.

The bags are available from this week both at our shop at Hackford and the pop-up in Norwich.

Sign Up 

To our mailing list via the ancient (and soon to be replaced website) newsletter page before December 21st and your details will be entered into a free prize draw. Not only will you be kept bang up to date with everything that is happening at Artichoke but you may also win a great Clarins Gift into the bargain.....just in case ............perhaps I should say that this offer applies to UK subscribers only.

Have a look at The Norfolk Magazines fashion pages this month. 

Some great 'old gels gear' supplied by Artichoke. can you spot the difference? Of course not because given clothes that are cut to fit properly the 40+ woman can still look a mega babe. Unfortunately the model they used is a 20 something stick insect but one step at a time ladies one step at a time - at least our existence has been acknowledged!
