A NEW clothes store selling high street and designer brands at bargain prices has opened near Evesham.
Bibsy Boutique, a clothes store selling a new sustainable fashion concept in the area, opened at Blackminster Business Park.
It aims to sell people's unwanted clothes while giving them a share of the profits.

Behind the business venture is 22-year-old Isabella Dix, who has a passion for clothes and sustainability.
"I have always been into dressing up, and I love fashion and the preloved side," she said.
"I have always wanted to give items a second chance and save the planet and wanted to give it a go myself."
She hopes her business can reduce unwanted clothes being thrown away and give them a new lease of life.

Each item of clothing will see 50% of the profits go to Miss Dix and the other 50% to the original owner.
She said she takes any brands from Tesco to Gucci and will sell each item of clothing for eight to 12 weeks before returning it to the owner if no one shows an interest.
All that people need to do is clear out their wardrobe and drop the clothes off at the store or ring up so she can come and collect them.
The store officially opened on Saturday (September 30), and Miss Dix said the concept has proven to be really popular with customers.
"It's been a really positive reaction, and when I was looking for a unit, I got a positive response from people wanting a clothes shop or a dress agency, and that's why I picked where I am.
"I have also had lots of positive comments on the range of sizes I do, 6 to 18, and I would like to do bigger than that.
"There are few stores like these around (in the UK).
"What is nice is that there is different stuff here and one-off things.
"Like you can see something and walk down the high street, and no one has the same."
The boutique does a range of women's, men's and children's clothes.
