Being fashionable doesn't have to mean driving miles and walking for hours. For Portmore residents, this is true as they are fortunate to have several fashion boutiques in their city.
Regarded as the Sunshine City, Portmore in St Catherine is holding its own in the fashion sphere with the increase in the number of boutiques that appeal to the needs and tastes of residents. If there is one single item that is required, you will find it in one of the many stores in Portmore.
