Product Description
London - alongside New York and Paris - is one of the great destinations for international shoppers. Like these two other megalopolis, its scale and the choice available could leave even the most hardened shopper feeling that they've overdosed on retail therapy. Shop London is an insightful overview that prevents overindulgence by careful selection. Unusual and inspirational, with the occasional eccentricity were the criteria for making the grade in this design-conscious guide to London's stores. From department to boutique to chain, it reveals the history, reputations and people behind some of the most sought-after items in the worlds of fashion, beauty, design, food - and even flowers. Versace, Vessel, Viaduct and VV Rouleaux are some of the stores studied in this opinionated appreciation of the most addictive shops London has to offer both locals and tourists alike.
