Source

Very, very cute shop! I stayed and browsed for ages, trying on clothes in the large and comfy changing area. Bought a super-​inexpensive handbag and a gorgeous sale necklace of an oversized butterfly. I could easily have stayed and bought more but I had to rush off in the end. Service was courteous and there’s lots to look at! Can’t wait to go back :) Really lovely x

The source is a boutique in spitalfields that sells a range of stuff similar to shops like Joy and has some nice things such as gifts, clothing and a more homeware section next door. The reason I have gave this shop 2 is because there are some nice things in the shop. But my big issue is with the pretentious staff, as we came in we were stared and watched to the point I felt uncomfortable walking around the shop. If I was little school girl I may understand but im a fully grown women! They took it turns to follow us around the shop, as my friend went out of the changing rooms, one of the sales assistants from the till came into check the changing room and then sneered at us, so we left. I know security is important but that was a horrifying experience. It is truly shocking that the customer service can be so bad and that in this day and age people still behave like this…

Source is a nicely presented shop located in Spitalfields market stocking ladies’ clothes, accessories and the odd bric-​à-​brac. It’s a little like a light version of Urban Outfitters in this respect as I found quite a few things I would have picked up as random gifts for acquaintances if I had a birthday party or a gift exchange coming up.

A cute, mid priced store of clothes, paraphernalia and less-​than-​standard tacky London memorabilia. I found a gorgeous frilly shirt in here that was similar to something I found in Oliver Bonas but a much better cut. Another little gem in the heart of Old Spitalfields, worthwhile to pop in for a browse.

| find myself in Source whenever a birthday is on the horizon and I’m struggling for present ideas. This little shop is a treasure trove of goodies and their range of jewellery and home furnishings are all very pretty. It’s a very girly shop full of very girly things which explains why my boyfriend is instantly bored whenever we walk in. Boys aside then, this is a lovely shop.
I bought a jewellery box from here not long ago (a present from me to me). It was gorgeous, lacquered gold with little flowers all over it. Sadly however it chipped very quickly and it’s already starting to look a bit old and worn. This experience has made me question some of the quality in Source although everything else I’ve got from here has lasted quite well. I would still recommend Source for a present shopping excursion but I would encourage you to buy carefully and not everything here is as good as it looks.

The perfect little shop for buying the best gifts! Either small little gesture’s to large expensive presents. Cute costume jewellery rings and necklaces in a range of colours and shapes, perfect for the friend who has everything — as no one has enough funky rings. Recently I bought my friend a beautiful white flower coat hanger — also available in gold and she just loved it! Fun kitsch containers and boxes for the kitchen or bedroom, coasters, notepads and paperweights — everything for the perfect present! They also have a little range of fun quirky clothing mainly skirts and dresses.
The shop assistants are very friendly and know their products therefore just ask if you are looking for something particular. Afterwards you can pop nest door to the colourful world of Chica!

Source has, like the other shops in the same part of Spitalfields, a very feminine vibe to it. They have some cute clothes and girly home furnishings. I love the gorgeous chandeliers in here and they have some great accessories for the house like pretty welcome mats, nice clocks and frames, trinkets and other treasures. It’s a great place for gifts and a good place to go if you’re decorating and you want some finishing touches for your living room or bedroom. It’s definitely a place for the ladies but if you’re a fella looking for a gift for the girl in your life I’m sure you would find something here. The prices are quite reasonable as well.

Source is great for picking up quality unusual leather goods such as bags, purses and gloves objects that make great gifts. There are always lots of things to look at, they carry a lot of stock and display it in really ‘girly’ display cases like chests of drawers, vanity tables etc, so it’s a nice place to shop at with girlfriends. The staff don’t seem to pounce or be over friendly, just tend to let you browse and get on with it. I’ve seen more unusual items in some of the other boutiques on this street /​market area, however, its one to pop into just for the sheer ‘girlyness’ appeal.
