A team with a passion for fashion have opened the doors to a new boutique in Farnham town centre.

Blue Tiger Boutique opened on Downing Street last Friday, October 18, providing a new option in the town for women’s fashion just in time for Christmas.

The shop has taken the unit previously occupied by Farnham Wholefoods. The grade II listed building has had a massive facelift with a new blue shop front and a contemporary-themed interior with little tiger-themed items placed throughout.

Toward the back of the shop is a piece of history as a fireplace that’s more than 200 years old has been incorporated into the aesthetic of the shop.

Owner Helen Norgate has worked tirelessly for the past two weeks to get the store ready for the first customers and she has even had help from her family with her 11-year-old daughter designing the golden tiger logo.
