About us
Plume was launched in 2004 in a tiny shop on Fore Street, Budleigh Salterton. The founder Maggie Clarke was trained as a fashion designer and buyer and has worked in London and abroad for many years designing collections for many of the high profile stores. So building on her experience and contacts Plume was launched with a very precise ethic “Fashion That Works”. She wanted to buy and also have some design input into the very best of European collections available and retains a great deal of exclusivity within the West Country wherever possible. We now are proud to attract customers from Somerset, all of Devon and as far south as Truro in Cornwall and as far north as Cheltenham in Gloucestershire.
Collections are bought to mix together, so our clients can achieve a totally individual look, which reflects their personality and the life that they lead. Clients range from professionals to women who just want a new look and some guidance, a service sadly missing in the high street. So age is no concern to the girls who enjoy fashion!
Sizes are from 10 to 18. All the collections, at the last count fourteen, are brought from all over Europe to give Plume an exclusive collection. Due to Maggie’s good contacts from her time spent in London , many new collections are offered to Plume and the best selection is made to offer you an exciting and unique choice.
Plume also offers a complete top to toe experience for that Special Occasion or Wedding. We can show you lovely silk suits and dresses, shoes and bags can be dyed to match. To complete the look you can hire or buy totally unique hats and fascinators designed by Maggie and made in London. We can even make crystal jewellery to match! Alterations can also be undertaken under Maggie's supervision usually within 7 to 10 days, so relax and have fun!
Come and enjoy the Plume experience: Informed service, wonderful choice and unique labels arriving all the time. With new collections, being added for each season, it is no wonder we had to move two doors up to number 30 to bigger, more spacious premises, just to keep up with demand. Coffee and a warm welcome await, even yachting and car magazine for the boys.
Celebrating 10 years!
Plume is now in it’s tenth year and we are proud to attract clients from far and wide with many of them traveling to shop with us and then stay over in one of Budleigh’s excellent hotels. Many also recommend us to friends which really strengthens the belief that we have the best collections in the South West and an enviable reputation for flair and service. “I have had such a great time” “You’ve changed my life” I was voted the best dressed guest on my cruise” All my friends in London have stopped asking me where I get my clothes from as they know and I even got stopped in Waitrose in my velvet jeans and an Ochre cashmere scarf with another customer asking me were I bought them as I looked great!”
Rediscover what service means and join clients from far a field, we really look forward to seeing you and welcoming you to the Plume “Club”
Best wishes
Maggie Clarke
