Dry cleaning pick and drop off service

Local haberdashery shops

Simply the Best has provided laundry, dry-cleaning clothing repairs and alteration services across South Buckinghamshire for 40 years

We, Chris and Angie, bought the business 20 years ago and began making changes to upgrade the service, in line with customer needs. We removed machines from all but one shop, to provide efficient centralised cleaning services. This left more space than was needed for customers to drop off and collect their clothes. We spotted an opportunity to branch out.

In 2013, the decision was made to diversify and optimise the shop space. Haberdashery supplies were the natural fit with the existing clothing services and it proved popular. With a commitment to quality brands, we have steadily grown our selection of needles and threads, trimmings and fastenings, and measuring and cutting tools.

Until 2020, our haberdashery sales relied on repeat customers and word of mouth. We pride ourselves on having a good range in stock, so customers can find exactly what they need. With the launch of this website, we hope to attract more creative crafters into our shops.

Sewing and knitting products, with a customer-focused service and friendly welcome

When you decide to call your business Simply the Best, you have to deliver! This means a complete commitment to quality and great customer service.

In any of our three South Buckinghamshire shops, you will be served by friendly, craft-loving shop assistants. They know and use the knitting and sewing materials, so can be relied on for practical advice and product recommendations.

As a local business, we are responsive to customer requests. If you don’t find what you are looking for, please let us know. From thimbles and threads to sewing craft kits, we can usually place orders on the same day and will contact you when your haberdashery items are in stock.

If you are a local Knit and Natter or Craft group who need supplies for a community project, get in touch. We can supply everything you need in one order.
