Palava started life in 1894 as a small department store called Strickland & Holt. Having passed through generations, each has made their own stamp on the brand to create the Palava we know and love today. Each one of their prints now begins its journey in their London design studio. The creator of Palava, Bryony hand draws each element of the print.

Fantastic stock. Always great for gifts. Staff are very helpful and friendly in an nonpushy manner. Delightful. Sister shop across the road Gig also a little well set out gem. The lady in there is wonderful and again very helpful. Lovely welcoming place for tourists

Ordered a dress in the webshop. When it finally arrived after almost 3 weeks it was the wrong size, smelly and with a default belt. I returned it, got my money back - but I still haven’t got the postage refund (£10.40) as they promised.

Staff were really pushy. Wouldn't leave me alone to shop in peace. Jewellery is tacky & cheap. Not a pleasant experience
