“Liberty is the chosen resort
of the artistic shopper.” – Oscar Wilde
Established in 1875, Liberty
is a fashion landmark weaved into London’s history. The shop’s founder, Arthur
Lasenby Liberty, had a vision of what home wares and fashion could be, so he
selected individual items from his travels around the world to be sold in his
store. Liberty is still true to the founder’s vision, with a selection of
exquisite items from a round the world.
“Tim and Fiona Slack are
married to each other and to their love of creating shoes.” – The Cool Hunter
The Slack couple describe
their designs as modern classics with unusual combinations of colors and
textures.
With shelves of books
covering all the walls, Magma Bookstore is heaven for art and design book lovers. They stock contemporary visual arts,
fashion, photography, graphics, design, illustration, typography, advertising,
art and architecture, and original t-shirts.
