Important update regarding school uniform orders.
Brand Savvy is fully functional to produce school uniform however we will be running slower than usual in order to work safely.
To maintain the safety of our staff and customers we are unable to allow customers to enter the store freely. This year we have to insist that all uniform orders are placed on line.
Orders will not be taken in person or by telephone.
We thank everyone in advance for their patience at this time.
We look forward to our Little Acorns returning. As you know you have been split into two groups, please follow the animal trails for the lions or the polar bears, these will be your entrance and exit points.
Roaaaarrrr’s are most welcome 🙂
