Pat's Drapers

Pat's Drapers Pat's Drapers has been trading in Lordswood for 40 years, described by its customer's as "the shop you can get everything you need in, and Aladdin's Cave"

Pat's Drapers originated in Gillingham in 1982, a small shop near the strand, selling knitting patterns, yarns, cards, haberdashery and a whole lot more. It was the dream brought to life by my Mum Pat Surridge, the founder of the shop. Pat is now wanting to retire and I have been lucky enough, with the support and finance from my partner, Sister. Children and of course my Mum and Step dad to take over the family business and continue in the way my Mother would. Within a year a second Shop was opened at Bearsted, Maidstone and soon after followed the Lordswood, the only remaining shop, where the business has been for the last 29 years. There was also a premises behind Maidstone prison for a while

Priding itself on the friendly atmosphere, personal touch and most importantly, only stocking items at affordable and competitive prices, but keeping quality at its best. Yellow pages have advertised Pat's for many years stating it as being an "Aladdin's Cave" and its customers often state "It's the shop where you can get everything you need". Pat's Drapers stocks an endless supply of items, for more information please contact us or look at this page for regular up dates.

Yesterday we had a group of younger people in the shop. One was a young girl who I know shops in here with her parents. Sadly I am not great with names so I hope her parents see this.

She was buying some of our Rattpe magnets. Her manors were exceptional but what stood out more to me was she was constantly apologising for her friends. I did say to her that she wasn't responsible for them or what they were doing and thanked her for showing me such respect and consideration. For me this just showed how well her parents have brought her up. If you are her parents please thank her again from me for being such a lovely young lady who I am sure will go far and achieve her goals in life.
