A TOY shop has branched out and is now stocking uniforms for Cockermouth School.

Jonty and Fiona Chippendale will be the sole supplier. They have taken over from Livy Bremner, who previously owned Riff Raff, on Main Street.

Jonty said: “When Livvy closed her shop, we bought her stock.

“With the start of the new school year, we have ordered some new stock.

“It’s been difficult due to the uncertainty about what’s going to happen. A lot of the clothing suppliers have had delays with manufacturers.”

The couple are grateful to all those parents getting their orders in early. Children can try on samples which will then be disinfected before going back out in the shop.

Jonty said: “It’s been a steep learning curve but we have enjoyed meeting parents and children.

"Our children went there. The sooner people put their orders in the better.”
