A brief look at our history
Elizabeth Rose was started over 30 years ago by Rosemarie Busby when the first shop opened its doors in 1979. In the beginning it was a just small shop at the far end of the high street in Tenterden. In 1981 Rosemarie opened a second shop across the road selling lingerie, swimwear and a small amount of casual wear. The little shop, as it become fondly known, was simply gorgeous and was just like stepping into your own bedroom. In 1985 Elizabeth Rose re-located into its current building, originally a tollgate house, built in the eighteenth century – beautiful clothing and accessories all under one roof! In 1994, keeping the business in the family, brother and sister team Michael Busby and Helen Pritchard took the helm and are today keeping the passion alive for good quality, comfortable and stylish women’s clothes at Elizabeth Rose.
