Why did we choose lavender as a Dunoon Goes POP botanical flavour? The answer lies in an Anglo-Parisien designer who once had a shop on Argyll Street in Dunoon.  🪡 👗 Our lavender lemonade is inspired by Margaret Parker (c 1847 to 1916), a local entrepreneur, dressmaker and designer who owned and ran an outfitters shop for women and children on Argyll Street, where the shop Allsortz is now.    🧵 The POP shop is a design and enterprise facility, supporting local freelancers and entrepreneurs. Margaret Parker’s entrepreneurial spirit and design skills intrigued us! She was a businesswoman and a Royal Letters Patent holder for Anglo-Parisien dressmaking.  As all of our Dunoon Goes POP soft drinks are inspired by local people (People of Place), for a drink inspired by Margaret, we needed a botanical flavour which is synonymous with both France and Britain. Lavender was the best-fitting option!  Read more in our latest blog article 👉 https://lnkd.in/egRNBSix
