A LAUNCH party was held to herald the opening of a new fashion store in the heart of Whalley Range in Blackburn.

Babu’s Collection is based at the bottom of Blackburn Street, on the corner of Randal Street, and provides a range of party wear and casual wear, as well as material.

Owner Rab Nawaz said: “A big thank you to everyone who came to our opening.

“Our aim is to be able to supply clothes to the community at affordable prices as we know wedding season can be very costly. Here at Babu’s Collection we can guarantee you quality outfits for a very affordable price.”

The launch was attended by family and friends from across Blackburn.
