Belfast’s Iconic Design Shop Continues to Inspire
This is the 25th Christmas that Equinox inspires gift ideas even for those ‘hard to buy for’ friends and relatives. This contemporary lifestyle store on Howard Street is quite a Mecca for those wanting to find a gift that will impress.
Step into Equinox in Howard Street and you will be captivated by the displays of design inspired accessories for the home not to mention the vast range of personal accessories to choose from e.g. pens, watches, wallets, jewellery, leather goods. Shelves of stunning glass vases are found alongside stainless steel serving trays mixed with the best of cookware and bar accessorises. One will find dining tables fully set with breath-taking contemporary china and chic cutlery paired with Scandinavian glassware and Italian candelabras. One can easily imagine this table set in your own home for Christmas dinner!
Customers are not only impressed by the beautiful displays at Equinox but by the personal service. Owner Kay Gilbert takes pride in having fully trained staff with product knowledge and excellent customer service. In fact, this service has not gone unnoticed. Gilbert says, ‘We were very pleased to have recently received the Belfast prize from the Junior Chamber of Trade ‘Friendly Business Awards’ and thrilled to be short-listed for the ‘Best Independent Retailer’ of the upcoming Belfast City Centre Management awards.'
For online shopping Equinox have created a Christmas gifts section at www.equinoxshop.com. You will find plenty of unique gifts for everyone on your list and may even be tempted to treat yourself!
