Stockist Series: Madame Fancy Pants


Claire Terry is the lady you'll find running this fancy-pants store full of lovely things. In amongst them you'll find Extra Curricular, teensy porcelain animals, Kester Black nail polish in delicious colours, and that awesome cuckoo clock. Claire kindly took some time out from minding her pretty shop to answer our nosey questions. 

What will customers discover at Madame Fancy Pants?

When you come in to Madame Fancy Pants your nose is greeted by a waft of lovely aromas (thanks MOR cosmetics!) an array of textures and colours to look at and touch and a smiling person to have a yarn with or help you find that special something and then wrap it all up with vigour and love (even if perhaps it's just for yourself!)



What's the best thing about coming to work each day?
Chatting to lovely folk who pop in throughout the day, designing my own range of jewellery and knowing that this is a space I can call home... away from home!



What is one thing you have learnt from opening your shop?
That being self motivated is really hard! Sometimes I have to get my helpful shop girls to give ME jobs and help me stay on task. To not be afraid to ask for help when it all gets a bit much.







What's the best-kept secret in your local area?
Hmm well I love food and there is some sweet food around Cuba Street. I LOVE the spinach, feta and caramelized scones up at the Italian cafe just two doors up. I was actually addicted to them for about 2 weeks and HAD to have one every day. Fidels do a super great thickshake perfect on a hot summery day. YUM!
