What an amazing team of girls we have at Carla!
With loads of experience in fitting swimwear, these are the ladies we trust fitting our customers everyday. Come in and get to know them xx
You have likely seen her big bright smile around our Carla stores for many years but we would love you to get to know her better.
Born and bred a Newcastle girl, Cheree loves to embrace everything this beautiful town offers.
With 31 amazing years working in retail with locally owned businesses and 8 years with Carla,
Cheree likes to think she brings motivation and reliability to our
team and our customers.
“I feel I’m relatable” says Cheree, “having been a size 8 to a curvy 18 during my years here I’ve worn every style of swimwear and outerwear!
My current favorite pieces are our Milea kaftans, their patterns, colors and tassels.
When I holiday, it’s definitely a tropical destination with my husband and usually drinking a Pina colada
If you are a Carla all round shopper you may have seen her at all of our store locations over 7 years, however for the last 18 months Jacqui has been heading up our new Green Hills store.
Jacqui is such a beach bum at heart! The first thing she does when she wakes up is check to see if its beach weather! “If I’m not at Blacksmiths beach, you will find my husband and I in Thailand or on a tropical island somewhere! Vietnam, Malaysia & Philippines are next on the list, we just got back from The Top End – my motto is “follow the sun” and “live well, travel often”.
Having her own homewares stores for almost 10 years prior to coming to Carlas, she knows how to truly spoil her customers and ensure they keep coming back for her great service and style. “Our job is to make the potentially daunting swimsuit hunt not only less stressful, but actually enjoyable for our customers. I get a buzz when ladies leave our stores super happy that we helped them find their perfect swimsuit and they say “wow that was easy”. The best way to get the perfect swimsuit is to get help from our experienced fitting staff! We find that people who ‘go it alone’ don’t often find what they were looking for – but we can definitely help everyone in a no-pressure & non-judgmental way. We know our swimwear inside & out – and are here to help, so rest assured that we will not tell you ‘it looks great’ just to sell you a swimmer. Carla’s thrives on customers coming back again and again after their great experience, positive word of mouth and good vibes ❤”
“If I had to pick just one favorite from the stores, it would have to be the beautiful collections by Milea. It is currently in the window at Green Hills, and it literally stops people in their tracks! I absolutely love seeing all the beautiful new stock arrive - it feels like Christmas opening up all the boxes! I love being busy, and there is always a great vibe coming into summertime, people are excited about upcoming holidays and beach days!”
