The launch of Cilla’s Closet, a ladieswear boutique in the world renowned MetroCentre, went off with a rather elegant bang on Tuesday.  Guests sipped rosé and nibbled on chocolate truffles while browsing the gorgeous array of unique clothing, handbags and jewellery the boutique has to offer.

Cilla is the stylish lady behind this brand new addition to The Village area of the MetroCentre.  She says, ‘It was wonderful to be able to show everyone what we have achieved with the space.  The reactions to the stock and the whole shop were fantastic…that means a lot to me because I hand-pick everything that comes through the door.’

Cilla’s Closet can be found just next to the red phone box in The Village at the MetroCentre, Gateshead.
