THANK GOD IT'S 'GOOD FRIDAY'!
SPIRITS AND DONATIONS WERE RAISED AT OUR ANNUAL CHARITY EVENT.
The sun was smiling on the South Coast this Good Friday which clearly created a convivial mood among the guests at our annual Invited Easter Charity Event.
Fine wine was flowing and delicious canapés from Patisserie Angelique were dotted around to provide suitable shopping sustenance!
Everyone was on fine form and spirits were not dampened by Sunday's impending rain!
The new Spring/Summer Collections evoked the hope of hot weather to come and gave our guests plenty of inspiration and in some cases amusement!
Team member Tom Barker's ever so brilliant idea was that the staff members should all be bright and bold in fun shirts from Eton of Sweden...
Prints and patterns lurching from vintage Robots to Evil Octopuses were the order of the day!
However, Sam Old was probably secretly relieved that his multi-coloured Leopard Print shirt didn't arrive in time for the festivities.
Robert Old was pleased to be raising awareness and donations for Bournemouth based Youth Cancer Trust as part of the event.
The Youth Cancer Trust provides support and free activity holidays for young people living with cancer or any malignant disease from the UK and Irish Republic.
Thanks to the generosity of our invited guests we raised over £600 in just a few hours.
Holidays are also available for young people who have been in remission for up to five years or who are living with the late effects of having had cancer as a teenager or young adult.
As days go it was certainly a great success and highly enjoyable to see everyone enjoying themselves (even if in some cases at the expense of the colourfully clothed Robert Old team!)
Our Spring and Summer collections this year were hand selected from many and varied sources including Ermenegildo Zegna, Robert Old 1909, Zegna Sport, Hackett, Armani Collezioni, Robert Graham, Eton of Sweden, La Martina, Orian Shirts, Paul & Shark, John Smedley, Polo Ralph Lauren and Gant with Shoes from Santoni, Alfred Sargent, Crockett & Jones, Zegna Sport and Timberland.
A finer selection of menswear we believe is not to be found in the South West of England and it was certainly well received on Good Friday by our visitors from far and wide!
