The Business Fashion is an award winning independent boutique based in Leicester.

Our store brings together fashion, art and culture under one roof. Surrounded by carefully selected artworks, we stock a mix of established designers and harder to find independent labels from around the world.

Everything in the boutique is chosen by us, from the clothing, footwear and accessories to the artwork on the walls. We buy pieces because we believe in them, not simply because they are popular.

You can visit us in Leicester, enjoy a coffee at our in-store Kafeneo, or explore our latest collections online.
