An eco-friendly dress shop has been voted the best in Sussex for its second-hand clothes.

The founders of Willow and Eve boutique in Rustington have celebrated the big win in The Argus's "Your favourite fashion boutique" awards.

Business duo Yvette Stubbs and Karen Skagerlind opened the shop in 2019 to "promote and encourage slow fashion" in the area.

They said: "We truly believe that buying preloved is the way to refresh your wardrobe without costing the earth."

Karen added: "Yvette and I are so happy that this award is voted for by the general public and all our amazing loyal customers and clients.

"We get so much positive feedback from both clients and customers, so we know we are fulfilling a more sustainable way to buy fashion."

They opened up their second branch - despite challenges across the board in the retail sector - in Arundel last November.
