APRIL UPDATE – Fashion, Food, Private Dining & More

Glorious new shopping experience with cabi!

A colourful evening of glorious fashion was attended by over 50 ladies at Charters’ Village last month. Generously hosted by Frances (pictured above), all the ladies enjoyed the presentation given by Julia and her team (also pictured above), and had the opportunity to try on the entire Spring/Summer range!

Delicious nibbles provided by Second-Helpings were enjoyed with wine and laughter was in abundance :)

cabi is a women’s clothing brand which is based in Los Angeles. cabi has been thriving in the US since 2002, with 3000 Independent cabi stylists who share a carefully curated designer collection with women in an intimate personal shopping setting – at home or at work – giving women the opportunity to touch the clothes and try them on without any pressure to make a quick decision.

cabi’s design team create two collections each year; spring/summer and autumn/winter and each collection is carefully designed to ensure it mixes and matches with past seasons. Their designers take into account current trends without being trendy – cabi clothes are meant to be in your wardrobe for seasons to come.

Another strand of the cabi business is The Heart of cabi Foundation, which is dedicated to empowering women entrepreneurs in under-resourced parts of the world. cabi wants to do well so we can positively impact the lives of families around the world.

The autumn/winter collection launches on 1st August and Second-Helpings will be hosting an evening soirée in September this year.
