Harrison

A smart navy blue jacket in the window that still could have gone with anything dressing it up or down made me think that Harrison could be better than first impressions that indicated a very expensive, aloof sort of place.
True, it’s expensive but trendy and I smugly noted a shirt and jacket combo that sort of aped the look of my much cheaper version.
Still, I periodically will invest in a good jacket like that one in the window — it’ll last for ages and save the day from time to time. The shirts at £95 were a bit steep but there were little black dresses and such like for much less which are very good buys so altogether thumbs up for Harrison.

Ooh! Can I have everything in this shop please? I was really impressed with the range of different styles offered in this store. There was classic, elegant clothing that would suit everyone yet they also stocked unique and different styles which would suit the more alternative dresser. I found classy and professional clothing made modern with a vibrant twist. The one thing that put me off was the lack of customer service as I was in the shop for at least fifteen minutes and I wasn’t greeted once by any of the staff on duty. I’m not asking for an in depth conversation or anything, but a friendly hello or a smile wouldn’t go amiss. But apart from that all I have to report are good things. The shop was quite big, stocked lots of clothes, was well lit and the clothes were set out in an easy to find manner. The prices weren’t bad either considering the shops on the Lisburn Road. Bison is a great place for fashionable clothing that isn’t the same old High Street fashion you find everywhere.

When you’ve ambled past so many boutiques that they all start to merge into one, you know you’re on the Lisburn Road. Peering in through the shop windows, I sadly noted the exorbitant prices and swiftly moved onto the next shop, until I got to Harrison that is. Something immediately captivated me, and I stopped in my tracks. Perhaps it was the fact that many of the beautiful clothes appealed to someone of my age, rather than being specifically for ladies in their 30s, 40s and older. Or perhaps it was the sale posters. Either way, that was me in. No questions.
Everything in Harrison is extremely eye-​catching. The dresses are particularly striking, with their deep, bold colours and stylish cuts making them perfect for formal dos, weddings and the like. There is also a vast range of denim wear, kitsch tops and eclectic accessories, as well as beautiful shoes… it really is 7^th heaven.
The store currently has a sale on, which makes this stock very affordable. I came across a gorgeous owl print tunic which was originally £52, and is now £26. The stock that isn’t in the sale is obviously pricier, but not quite as expensive as I thought it might be. The gorgeous dresses I was referring to cost around the £100 mark, but they really would be a heck of an investment.
Harrison have done a fantastic job of blending designer and high street, and it’ll be one boutique I will most likely be heading back to.
