Eclectica

Well there I was sitting on the bus minding my own business after a tiring day of bargain hunting when a window display caught my eye. So I rushed off the bus, pushing pregnant ladies and OAPs out of the way and dragged my weary self back up to what can only be described as a goldmine! Very reasonable prices, an eclectic mix of old and new, clothes and electrical makes this my new fave place to shop. A number of retro shops are closing down because of their need to jump on the celebrity bandwagon and chaerge ridiculous prices. But this place has been going for 3 years and is keen to keep its sense of identityIts a 10 bus journey from Clapham Junction so no tube is the only downside but the owner Sam and his fiancée Chrissie are so helpful that it makes up for the extra effort. A boon is that they also do alterations for those of us that failed/​didn’t take Domestic Sciences at school. The clothes are a mix of vintage, trendy and just plain cool. Is is cool to say cool again? Check it out. I walked out with a polka dot skirt and a fabulous dress for £15!
