Oi Polloi – Manchester Mens clothing store
Oi Polloi is a menswear fashion store in Manchester which opened way back in 2002.
Recently moving into a new much bigger space which has given them the chance to expand their range and let their creative juices flow on the interior design of the store.
I love their store design, graphic design, their quirky advertising and the website.
Take a look and if you like what you see have a look at their website or visit their store.

Anthropologie – Pallets make great fixtures
Its amazing what you can do with a few old wooden pallets.
The fresh flower company – East Dulwich – London – Christmas 2012
Love, Love, Love this fabulous florist in East Dulwich.
Why because they have made the store look amazing from outside in.
The exterior displays using up cycled and vintage items drawers you to it, but dosnt detract from the flowers and plants they are selling.
The neon signage in the window stands out against the other stores.
When you go into the store they have used cut tree trunks to create a great focal wall that divides the store from the work area.

The Cool Hunter – Haberdash Store, Stockholm – Sweden
Mats Sjöqvist together with brothers Mårten and Olle Eriksson-Mårtens attracted a solid following of well-dressed men to their first menswear boutique, Herrekipering (haberdasher in Swedish), on Kocksgatan 17 in Stockholm’s Södermalm district.
Earlier this year, they expanded the business by opening their second and much bigger store, Haberdash, on Upplandsgatan 50, in the Vasastan area of Stockholm. In the process, they renamed the first shop Haberdash as well.
We love the functional, minimalist interior of the new boutique, completed by Stockholm’s Form Us With Love (FUWL).
The materials and details of the store design speak the same language as the brands represented in the store, the language of timeless style, long-term value, functionality, quality and artisanship.
The underlying goal of all of the displays is to allow the customer to see and examine each item completely. So FUWL created a stylized, minimalist craftsman’s studio, with the items displayed on magnified pegboards, simple workbench-like counters and basic square shelving.
Materials, such as Silestone Quartz, Kährs ash and Tärnsjö Tannery leather are used for displays and surfaces. The “bare-bulb” pendant lighting is FUWL’s own Form for Design House Stockholm.
The esteemed brands sold at Haberdash include the French Armor Lux sailor sweaters made famous by Pablo Picasso, Brooks bicycle saddles and accessories from the UK, and Grundén raingear from Sweden.
FUWL is a multi-discipline design house established in 2005 by fellow students of product design at Småland’s Kalmar University, John Löfgren, Jonas Pettersson and Petrus Palmén. - Tuija Seipell
Clementine of Broughty Ferry
With all the news about the decline of the high street and more and more independent stores closing every week, it is so refreshing to discover a fabulous independent green grocer thriving in a small Scottish seaside town.
Born out of the frustration at the lack of a greengrocer on their home town friends Jan and Carole took action and set up their own store a few years ago.
The store has become more than just a greengrocer it’s a community store where people pop in and share their dad to day stories and try out some great new recipes provided via the stores very popular Soup in a bag and now Curry in a bag recipes.
Here are a selection of photos of the store

Firstly apologies for no post yesterday, I have had problems with my internet connection.
Todays post is about one of my favourite retail companies Anthropologie. I was in Edinburgh the other week and popped into their new store, which is their third in the UK.
As usual they did not disappoint, the store was packed full of visual features and fabulous ideas.
I’ll let the photos do the talking.
Thank you Anthropologie for creating truly amazing stores, I look forward to seeing your next one.
