Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year..!

To all our customers, we’ve had a fantastic year in the shop and we just want to say thank you to you all and wish you a very merry Christmas! The Mark Hearld exhibition was a great success and and I’m sure they’ll be lots of cheerful people on the 25^th who are receiving his pictures for Christmas gifts! Check our website for our Christmas opening hours and pop in for a browse after the hectic Christmas rush – we have just acquired a lovely collection of vintage and out of print books, focussing on fashion, interior design and society biography. There’s a great set of original David Hicks titles, many beautifully illustrated Cecil Beaton books and even some original Christian Dior fashion illustrations... if you didn’t get to indulge over Christmas, here’s your chance! See you in the New Year!

Chelsea Book Day

We'd just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came and supported us on our first Chelsea Book Day. It was a great success, and extremely exciting for us to meet not only Stephen Calloway, Stafford Cliff, Derry Moore and Quinlan Terry, but to see so many faces come in support of the day. 

So, thank you and keep your eyes peeled for our next event!
