Lynx has a distinctive personality and brand mix and tries to bring excitement, authenticity and uniqueness that is seldom found elsewhere and is appreciated by those of style and taste.
Guy founded Lynx Womenswear in 1985 and the business has grown over the years to occupy 4,000 square feet of space on over three floors in West Park on 'The Stray' Harrogate.
The Menswear arm of Lynx was opened in 2003 and has quickly established itself as the premier destination shop of Harrogate, for contemporary menswear.

Sally and her team working from a small farm in North Yorkshire, offer a friendly, fast and efficient service supplying quality underwear and swimwear in a large range of sizes and styles.
AmpleBosom.com initially began as a bra company specializing in hard-to-find sizes as Sally recognized that lingerie for larger ladies was not readily available on the high street. She appreciated the difficulty of finding good fitting bras and lingerie, particularly for those in rural areas, and so established the business from her family run farm in North Yorkshire.
AmpleBosom.com prides itself on its ability to provide a well-fitting items for all sizes, large and small, and recognize how good fitting lingerie can transform a persons figure and how they feel about themselves. AmpleBosom.com believes that size and shape should not limit what should naturally be accessible to all women. AmpleBosom.com now sells a wide variety of bra styles and sizes.
Once Sally recognized that not only was there a market place for plus-size bras but other lingerie she diversified even further to selling a wide range of styles: swimwear, nightwear, bridal wear, basques, bustiers, corselettes, bodies and bodyshapers, camisoles, vests, waist nippers, shapewear, corsetry, slips, hosiery, slimming items, bra accessories, menswear, a range of briefs and other styles that had not been previously catered for online.

Ann Louise’s heritage has almost certainly been an influence; raised in the North Yorkshire coastal town of Scarborough with a Swedish father (originally a clogmaker) and a Scottish mother (a trained dressmaker) there is a natural openness to her work. With her studies at St Martin’s bringing her to London this is where she primarily lives and has based the business, creating beautiful clothes that are available in over 100 boutiques and department stores around the world.
A graduate of Central St Martins College of Art & Design, Ann Louise put her First Class Honours Degree in Fashion with Printed Textiles to good use by starting her own line that debuted in Liberty’s in 1998, commissioned by the store following her degree catwalk show.
With a decade under 'its' belt, the business, which is managed by Ann Louise and her husband Nick Hartley, has grown into an internationally recognised label; exhibiting collections seasonally in London, Paris and New York alongside showrooms in Düsseldorf and Munich.
Originally known for bold, signature floral prints Ann Louise’s design ethos encompasses all of the textiles used in her ready-to-wear collections. Tweeds are woven in Scotland and Jacquard weaves are created in France where Ann Louise works directly with highly innovative textile manufacturers to lovingly produce exclusive fabrics that form the basis of her collections. By working closely with “masters of their art” Ann Louise applies intricate beadwork and appliqué to garments to create stunning heirloom pieces.
