About Us

Swanky Rags started in 2006 and after 3 successful years in Broadway Peterborough we needed to expand. So in late 2009 we relocated to a more spacious premises with our own private access, but still in Broadway. Which is where you can find us today, above Fireaway Pizza, opposite The New Theatre Peterborough.

We offer a unique collection of gowns, they are all very different from the high street. We aim to bring you fresh, new looks each season, with an emphasis on luxurious fabrics, stunning hand bead work and excellent designs, all at surprisingly reasonable prices.

There are always at least 200 dresses in stock all year round, from sizes 0 – 30+ all styles, all colours and a lot more choice than any other local store.
