STAFF at a Nelson shop have turned into "hippy chicks" as part of a week-long look back at Far Eastern fashions.

Age Concern Lancashire's shop in Scotland Road, Nelson, has been transformed, with the help of artwork by pupils at the town's Marsden Primary School.

The shop and staff were decked out in the theme, A Taste of the Exotic, to promote the charity's travel insurance business.

Traditional items were available, as well as Far Eastern and hippy-style long dresses.

Karen Fancy, joint manageress of the shop with colleague Tracey Stewart, said: "It was meant to go on until Monday but things are selling fast."
