Event Description
The Museum of Fashion Malvern is excited to announce the return of Sally Trepte after the success of her last talk!
Sally is the granddaughter of Gertrude Mitchell, who ran Warwick House department store for many years. A woman before her time, Gertrude began her first business in 1914, eventually amalgamating with Cox & Painters at Warwick House in 1942. Under her ownership, Warwick House put Malvern on the map as a top fashion town, with visitors travelling across the country for their top tier garments. Sally will be sharing stories from her book, taking us back to a long-gone era of shopping.
Those attending the talk will also have the chance to see Gertrude Mitchell’s wedding veil and memorabilia from Warwick House up close, alongside garments on display in the museum.
Tickets: £10 – to book, email [email protected]
