The Convenience Store
The Convenience Store quietly popped up in a vacant cobblers just off Golborne Road in late August. Brainchild of artist-designer Andrew Ibi, it focuses on limited and unconventional pieces from hot design talent, including Rick Owens, Ann-Sofie Back, Clare Tough, and Hannah Marshall, with particularly sought after pieces kept 'under the counter' for loyal customers on special request.

A Child of the Jago
We broke up July's heat with Joe Carre and Barnzley's Westwoodian store. Named after a 19th century novel about East End slums, Jago sells books, antiques and clothes (including the pair's fabulous Terrorist line, inspired by historical no-gooders), as well as artifacts in the basement and records from Malcolm McLaren's private collection.

Oxfam Revamped Boutiques
Jane Shepherdson revamped the once fusty threadbare veneer of our favourite charity shops back in May. Three new boutique style setups now feature donated designer fashions from Wright & Teague, sustainable brands like People Tree, and most excitingly, pieces by London College of Fashion students and big name grads who have reworked old clobber and textiles to create unique fashion finds.
