The owners of Ipswich's newest independent shop says the first few days have "surpassed all expectations".
Threads for All has opened in The Walk in Ipswich, offering customers a wide range of affordable gender-neutral, unisex clothes.
The shop also stocks homeware, furniture and products created by local producers who can sell their items from the shop.
The shop has been vacant for a while until business partners Will Hamer and Jenny Needham decided to take over the premises and renovate it to revitalise the area of Ipswich.
The shop opened on Friday with a soft launch and traded throughout Saturday in what was a successful opening.
Jenny said: "Everyone was very complimentary. They loved the feel of the place and liked the products we are selling.
"People were impressed by what we have achieved and I think we made more money throughout the opening than we had planned."
On the ground floor of the shop, there is a variety of clothes, some from a supplier and others made in-house.
There is also children's clothes on the ground floor and a pick n mix area where children can get three items for £1.
On the first floor, there is a wide range of products that are being sold through the store, produced by external creators who pay a monthly fee to stock their items in the shop.
These products range from paintings, photography, knitted items and creams.
Jenny continued: "A lot of work has gone into this but I think it has surpassed our expectations.
"You work so hard to get something ready so we are really pleased with it and grateful to everyone who has supported us so far.
"We can't wait to see people who come to our shop.
"Local businesses need support and there is so much to be positive about with the town, things are changing for the good."
