The quiet town of Falmouth came to life last Tuesday when the Fashion’s Night Out Road Show made its way into Water Square. With only two weeks until the Jamaica OBSERVER CELEBRATES FASHION’S NIGHT OUT, the retailers are anxiously awaiting their biggest fashion extravaganza yet. Here’s what they shared…

World-famous Luxury Swiss Watchmakers Breitling and our own Bijoux Jewellers donated four clocks to the historic Port of Falmouth to make sure everyone is on time for their scheduled activities. Their high-end Swiss chronographs, bearing Breitling’s tag line ‘Instrument for Professionals’, are exclusively available at Bijoux Jewellers — one of our key participating stores for Fashion’s Night Out on September 8.

Right Collection

It’s the first time for Fashion’s Night Out in Falmouth so I can’t wait to see what will happen. The concept is a great one as it provides the opportunity for retailers to increase sales and customers to get what they want. I will be offering sales of up to 50 per cent off. –Donna Clarke, proprietor

I’m looking forward to the difference that FNO will make for the otherwise calm Falmouth. From what I’ve seen the experience was great last year for the participating parishes, so we are glad to be on board this time around. — Vinnette Messado, proprietor

Betta Trend Fashions

I have never experienced FNO before but I have used the media as an indication of what to expect. Based on what I have read and heard from other retailers, FNO seems like a successful venture. I was more than happy to be on board for this grand market-like affair in September. I think it is an excellent way to get exposure for my business. Customers can expect heavy discounts on selected items in the store. I look forward to seeing new and old customers alike! — Cynthia Vanzie, store owner

I think FNO is such a good concept. Retailers get to sell items they wanted to put on sale that were perhaps taking a longer time to sell. We will also have new stock, so persons are invited to come in and take a look. We will have up to 80 per cent off on selected items, so we are looking forward to an influx of new customers. I am also very excited to see how the residents of Falmouth will respond to FNO as it is our first time participating. — Sherille Hemmings, acting manager
