Opening Weekend

THE GRAND OPENING

On Saturday 5th September we opened the doors to our newest shop in Bournemouth, and what a welcome we received. We already loved this town after visiting for Päivi's birthday in 2025 - when we decided to open a new location here, and after meeting so many friendly dressmakers, crafters, knitters....and just friendly locals, we know this was the right place to bring Cloth Control.
