‘Off the beaten track, but well worth discovering. Expect to find vintage and pre-loved Burberry trenches, Prada bags, Miu Miu shoes and Marant dresses, with a smattering of Whistles, Barbour and Jigsaw. Outside the shop there’s usually a bonus rummage rail of lesser known labels and handmade pieces at great prices,’ says Jenny Garcia, stylist.

‘A really cool, independent store run by a former high-street buyer, it’s a dopamine hit of bright, bold contemporary designers including Dawn x Dare, Stella Nova, Fabienne Chapot, Essentiel Antwerp and Le Bon Shoppe. Shelly and her small team are brilliant at giving customers guidance and help, and it is just a lovely friendly place to pop in to,’ says Erica Davies, fashion editor, stylist and author.
