A family-run high street boutique has won two national awards including for its landmark fashion show at Lancaster Castle.
Renes is celebrating the double success at the Boutique Star Awards 2026, held in London on November 10.
The fashion store on Common Garden Street won Resilient Retailer of the Year and Retailer Event of the Year, recognising both its ability to adapt through changing times and its ambitious The Devil Wears Renes fashion show at Lancaster Castle over the summer.
The award recognised an evening that made history in June, when Renes staged the first fashion show in Lancaster Castle's 1,000-year history.
Eight professional models presented 160 outfits, entertaining around 100 guests and raising more than £2,500 for St John's Hospice, with additional donations on the day.
"To win both awards is wonderful, especially because they recognise two different sides of Renes," said Tiffany Moore of Renes.

"The castle show was something I'd wanted to try, although there were certainly moments when I wondered what we'd taken on!
"Seeing everyone enjoying themselves in that setting made all the work worthwhile.
"The resilience award is particularly personal. When you're looking after a business that's been in your family for generations, you carry the responsibility of that history as well as the benefit of it. You have to keep making decisions and moving forward."
Boutique Magazine's Star Awards recognise the independent retail sector's most outstanding stores, brands, suppliers and individuals.
Renes has previously received Boutique's Outstanding Business Award in 2023 and Drapers' Independent Icon of the Year award in 2025.
The latest recognition comes as the business continues investing in its Lancaster boutique and expanding its online reach.
Founded in 1955, Renes has been part of Lancaster's high street for 71 years and is now led by third-generation owner Tiffany Moore.
