Something blue from Astley Clarke
Award Winning Luxury Online Jewellery Brand Astley Clarke has defied the downward turn in the economy with a 30% increase in turnover at Christmas last year. A surge in sales from the female self-purchase and male gift market saw a 39% rise in own label fine jewellery sales during the second half of last year – this trend has continued as the brand announced a 63% like for like rise in January 10. The re-launch of its Second Generation Website and West London Showroom in October 09 also helped to increase sales and brand awareness in the lead up to the Christmas trading period.
“Recognising a gap in the market for online luxury, AstleyClarke.com is a pioneer in changing the way that luxury consumers shop for jewellery online. Combined with a return to old-fashioned customer service of the highest standard, AstleyClarke.com has carved a unique niche for itself; moving away from the mass approach to luxury that many big names have fallen victim to. I am very pleased with our success to date – we have a very exciting twelve months planned for further development” -Bec Clarke – Founder and Managing Director
