Barnardo’s manager Eduardo Martins

CHILDREN’S charity Barnardo’s has launched its first boutique store in a bid to attract top-end customers in Marylebone.

The store, in George Street, reopened on Saturday following a two-week transformation.

It is now selling designer clothes, accessories and gold and silver jewellery.

Manager Eduardo Martins said: “We have a really good understanding of designer labels and what shoppers are looking for. People know that Barnardo’s is a really good cause and when they donate goods to us, they’re confident that we’ll get the best value from reselling each item.”
