Renes was established in 1955 when England was still bearing scars from a world war, Churchill was still in office and housewives queued on chilly pavements with their ration books in hand. Renes is a designer ladies clothes shop based in the centre of Lancaster and sells a wide range of womens clothing and fashion accessories for all occasions and all budgets. The 50’s changed and shaped fashion forever as the 50’s moved Britain from the austerity of the 1940’s to the prosperity of the 1960’s. Style and spending was developed. 1950’s glamour arrived and naturally so did Renes, the rest is history! The first shop was established in 1955 by Irene Newby along with her daughter Pamela and soon to follow Brenda, more shops followed thereafter, finally residing on King Street in Lancaster spanning three floors with a quadruple frontage. Renes adorned the latest fashion and bridalwear in the region. Ask any local girl and you can guarantee Renes is where they bought their wedding dress or first teen outfit. It was so popular during Sale times that a queue formed around the shop before opening time. Over the years Renes has never lost its pizzazz and is now based on Common Garden Street in Lancaster which is a stones throw away from the original King Street store. The business is still a family run affair with Amanda and Tiffany taking the business forward with each year that comes.
