Chimney Formal Menswear celebrates five years of helping grooms find wedding attire

Inside Chimney Formal Menswear in Royston

Situated in the beautiful town of Royston, Chimney Formal Menswear has bounced back from the impact of Covid-19 and is now celebrating its five-year anniversary. The company has endured a difficult time throughout the pandemic like most retailers, but the team is now looking forward while focusing on their next chapter of what has been a major success story since its launch in 2016.

The shop was built beside the original 13.5 metre-high chimney that once provided the draught for the local ironworks’ furnace and has been a labour of love for owner Sharon Cousans. She says, “Given everything that we’ve been through over the past 18 months, to reach the five-year mark is extremely satisfying. There were points during lockdown where it looked a long way off – particularly with the wedding industry being so badly hit – but we stuck it out and are now seeing things really starting to pick up again.” She adds, “We’re fortunate to have a tremendously loyal customer base who value the things that matter most to us – high-quality menswear at affordable prices, coupled with exceptional service.”

Women want a personal engagement ring not an expensive one

New research suggests a shift in how women approach one of the most traditional luxury jewellery purchases, with 75% saying they want an engagement ring to prioritise personal meaning over size or value. A study of 1,353 UK women carried out by 77 Diamonds* found that 75% say they would prioritise a personalised engagement ring over a larger or more expensive diamond. What seems to stand out is not a complete rejection of convention, but rather a rebalancing and reassessment of value. 59% of women say their preference still leans towards traditional ready-made ring designs, and only 11% want an entirely custom-made piece But the emotional drive behind preferences and purchasing decisions does appear to be changing with 30% expressing a desire for rings that carry additional meaning through small modifications, engravings or design adjustments.
