This was a store with a difference. Along with great clothing for both men and women, they had a small selection of furniture and household items. The clothes were wonderful. While sticking to the classics of English tailoring and design, each piece had a quirky detail that set it apart from everything else. Button holes were outlined with stitching in vibrant colours that contrasted with the fabric. The cut of each item had a bit of an edge to it, and the fabrics were wonderful.
Something that did catch my eye was the knitwear. I know that one shudders when you here of bulky knits, as they can appear very cumbersome. However with the actual lines of the piece they were not. I bought a wonderful cream bulky knit cardigan, that when put on fits the torso like a glove. It is the texture of the knit that stands out.They have a few pieces of furniture that are wonderful. The driftwood cabinet below would be equally at home in town or in the country!

I LOVE that second coat. I would love to have something like that in my closet.
ReplyDeleteYSL GUY - I want that coat too! I will have to fight you for it!
ReplyDeleteThis is a new one to me; many thanks! The prices are extremely reasonable, as well - I liked that simple grey overcoat, and was surprised to look on their website and find it listed at 189 pounds!
ReplyDeleteRe: #2...one of my fall/winter staples is a 3/4-length all-weather coat in dark, almost-black espresso brown. It appears to have a collar of sheared mink, but when you open the coat, the entire lining is revealed to be lined in the same fur. It's discreet and extravagant simulatenously, and I adore it. Actual fur coats look vaguely (or blatantly) ridiculous on men, but a touch of fur is so luxurious and fairly drips savoir faire...
