PREMIUM ladies' fashion outlet, Image by Vanessa, held a grand opening of its new extension last week.

For 14 years, the boutique has been a draw for women from across Pembrokeshire and beyond looking for high-end outfits.

The expansion was made possible due to the Port of Milford Haven purchasing 3 Victory House, meaning owner Vanessa Hackett could increase her shop frontage.

She now offers an increased range which now includes loungewear, more accessories and a range of shaping lingerie, for ladies looking to achieve that perfect silhouette.

Chief executive of the Port, Alec Don, cut the ribbon at the opening and enjoyed an evening of food and fashion.

He said: “Image by Vanessa is a huge draw for people visiting Milford Waterfront.

"She is in my opinion, and more importantly the opinion of real fashion followers, the best fashion retailer in Pembrokeshire, drawing her customers from far and wide.

"Businesses like this ensure there is a great mix of attractions on the waterfront so that local residents and visitors from further afield can spend a day shopping, socialising and enjoying all of the activities and events that take place here.”

Added Vanessa: “The variety of collections, styles, colours, fabrics and sizes available is something that we are incredibly proud of at Image.

"We hope that our customers will enjoy the extended range as well as the very personal experience that we offer.

“Milford Waterfront is a fabulous location and I am delighted to be expanding at a time when so much more is planned for the area.”
