Yes, alongside our website, Papena operates a physical boutique. We welcome you to pop in and browse our latest collections in person. You can find us at 26-28 Northgate St, Chester, United Kingdom. For your convenience, a map and directions are also available right on our homepage and our Google Business Profile.

We are a premium womenswear boutique stocking a highly curated selection of sought-after European and international labels. Our key designers include Marc Cain, Joseph Ribkoff, Betty Barclay, John Charles, Naya, Veni Infantino, Carla Ruiz and Couture Club, offering a splendid mix of premium everyday pieces and formal wear.

Yes, we have a dedicated Occasion Wear department tailored for wedding guests, mother of the bride or groom, and formal race days. If an item isn't quite right, occasion wear can be returned within 14 days of delivery. Please note that all occasion dresses are fitted with a Papena security ribbon. You are welcome to try the garment on, but this ribbon must remain attached. If the security ribbon is removed or the item is handled beyond what is reasonably necessary for inspection, we reserve the right to make a deduction from your refund in accordance with UK consumer law.

If you have spotted a piece you fancy but your size is no longer available online, please get in touch. Depending on the designer, we may be able to specially order it in for you or let you know if a restock is on the way.

Because we stock premium fabrics and tailored occasion pieces, we highly recommend checking the specific care label on each garment. Many of our specialist dresses and silk blouses will require professional dry cleaning to keep them looking their absolute best.
