Pwllheli, a town on the Llŷn Peninsula, is busy becoming the place to be for shopping. And on April 8th a new shop opened in town – Rigio – a stylish new clothes shop.
Rigio
The name comes from a Welsh term for “getting dolled up/dressed up”. It’s not a term everyone knows but I’ve heard my Nain use it. A lot of work has been done on the shop and its been beautifully decorated with some great items. There’s a display stand made from an old Singer sewing machine table.

The shop sells women’s clothing, handbags, scarves and jewellery. I would class the clothes as smart casual and very stylish. I would describe them as being soft and loose fit. To be honest, I’m no fashion expert but I like what I see.

There are some lovely handbags for sale as well. I do love the black one with silver handles above. I may need to invest in a new handbag soon!
Jewellery

The jewellery on sale is a mix of silver (my favourite!) and handmade quirky items made by the owners’ daughter. They are wonderful pieces and I will admit that I am very tempted by the heart necklace shown above. Also on display on this cool wooden hand are chunky rings made from spoons.

As yet the shop isn’t online but I’m working on the owners to get onto social media! But you can find the shop at 5 Gaol Street, Pwllheli. Well worth a visit.
What do you think? Nice yeah?

How do you pronounce that word?!
It’s been a couple of years since I was last up in Pwllheli… I might just have to take a train trip 🙂
