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.

Order online before July 24th for guaranteed completion before start of term in September. Select home delivery or safe collection: http://brandsavvy.co.uk/littleacorns
Receive order confirmation and order number.
Wait for a text notification of your collection day or dispatch day. This could be 3-4 weeks. Please do not call the store before this time.
On your collection day arrive at the store with your order number. 1 person will be allowed in store at any time. Check before entering or wait outside at 2 meter distancing from other customers.
We will place your order on the collection table for you to safely remove and take away.

We thank everyone in advance for their patience at this time.
