Lesley Gofton officially opened her second baby clothes shop, L&V Baby Attire, on Cosham High Street at the weekend – and it has been a massive hit with the locals. The shop opened on April 1, 2023 and the opening welcomed a children’s entertainer which kept the little ones occupied whilst customers got a glimpse at some of the clothes on offer at the bespoke clothes business.
The owner already runs the sister branch in Leigh Park, which was opened in 2021, and after it proved to be a success, Lesley decided to take the plunge and open a new store. She got the keys in February and she has spent the past two months perfecting the store to get it to her standard.

‘To say the least, it was extremely good – better than we could have expected. It was just smashing, we had the entertainer here and the children loved it and they also had sweet cones given out.
‘We were rushed off of our feet but it was brilliant.’
The shop was packed with intrigued locals and Lesley said that the excitement has continued into this week with business going well.
She said: ‘Hopefully here I can draw in a different type of clientele. At Leigh Park I have got my regular customers who are absolutely brilliant and I am hoping to do the same just in a different area.

‘I was here all day on Monday and it was really busy as well. A lot of people said that it was so busy on Saturday that they waited to come in, which is really nice.’
