Returning to the subject of the slow fashion movement, I decided to investigate old haunts of which agnès b was once on.
The shop in Covent Garden in Floral Street is light and airy with a great selection of clothes and accessories to browse. 
I felt an old affinity to the logo and would love to have bought a named shopper - that's before I spotted the most gorgeous white faux fur jacket. Oh well. Luckily in my price range is a great slogan tee - perfect for me.

What's one of your favourite old shopping haunts?
Hi there-if I'm around Regent Street and Oxford Circus, I love to go to Zara and Mango on Regent Street-they both seem to have a great selection of stuff!
ReplyDeleteI looove agnes b. you can always tell when something is made by them.
ReplyDeleteYou ARE lucky to have 3 laura mercier palettes! Now I am curious to know which ones :)

How fun to reignite an old shopping flame! My favorite old shopping haunt is in my hometown - a little family-owned boutique called (of all things) The Mexican Shop. Great cheap jewelry, accessories, and duds ... I stop by every time I visit my folks!
ReplyDeleteI never got the obsession until I bought one of her sweaters.... lovely stuff...
ReplyDeletei love agnes b pieces, so simple yet so stylish. quality is great.
ReplyDeleteI love the Agnes B. store in L.A. I pretend I am in Paris while I am in there. I treasure any store that can allow me to feel like I am in the city I love the most.
ReplyDeleteThat tee fit's to you a t!! C'est parfait!!!
There's a place in Mtl. called Lola & Emily that looks like someone's bedroom (full of all the best clothes!)
ReplyDeleteThere was a cute little shop near where I went to school that I liked to frequent, but I live so far away, I could never get there now. It's in Illinois!
ReplyDeleteI love that t-shirt, I'd love to get my hands on one!
I was thinking about the slow fashion movement yesterday and how it's more suitable to the slow moving world of men's fashion.
ReplyDeleteMy fav is in Paris and I will never reveal it's name for fear that ruthless thrifters will decent from the sky life vultures and steal all me 'just been worn' designer items.
I love Agnes B too. Jigsaw is probably my longest running love,I started shoping there when I was 12 (from their sample/old/damaged stock rail) but the current collection leaves me cold, which is a great shame as I haven't been in a jigsaw for nearly 4 years so I was really looking forward to it. :-( I'm going to look in Agnes B soon - haven't been there yet.
ReplyDeletei remember the first time i was in paris and visited agnes b. it was cutting edge at that time, selling clothes that were like well worn old friends.
