Whiteleys, London March 25th 2010- Dec 31st 2010
We opened our new stores in Whiteleys on the 25th of March 2010 having taken over most of the 1st floor of the historic Whiteleys Shopping centre in Bayswater London. This has been our biggest project to date as we have opened not only just our next Pop Store, but 3 additional pop-up stores in the Centre! All this with a quick three weeks fit-out turn around. We also helped the centre out with some internal theming, decorating hoardings and some of the old, beautiful Victorian pillars!! Check out the store photos below and have a gander at the blog where there are Opening Party pics and some of the celebs that turned up!
Pop Store, this new store's theme is based on an Eastern European factory meets Fun Fair! We sourced amazing, 1950's reclaimed pendant lights from Fort Dunlop near Birmingham, a 'factory red' painted floor and shipping crate fixtures. In-store we are selling our usual array of great mens and womens apparel from around the world and a handful of new brands as well. New stock is arriving weekly for all you fashionistas!
The womens side of the store has original 1960's wallpaper, leather sofa, a garden shed changing room and of course beautiful clothes to get your hands on.
The mens side has our signature crate fixtures, bookcase wallpaper, Star Wars toys as well as an awesome neon 'Thrill' sign to give it a masculine edge.
The Bower of Bliss. We decided to grow our jewellery offer and give it a personality and oh yes, it's own store! Adding to this, we found some great porcelain and curiosities around the world to add to the mix. We have built a golden cave entrance to the store and created an enchanted forest panorama inside. Check out the crazy ceiling we installed by hand! Selling stunning objects from around the world it is easy to spend an afternoon looking through it all.
Tom Binns for Disney Couture is in the 'looking glass' domes and our beautiful Kuhn Keramics from Berlin are in the forefront.
The stunning 'Best in Park' dog collars and leads from Australia are also for sale as well as doggie bowls for all you animal lovers!!
Junk Food is a store dedicated to the all American licensed brand. Think an interior that is 'American Sweet Store meets Mid West Garage', transforming this once tired travel agent into a vintage t-shirt heaven! From Madonna to Kiss to the Marvel comics it really does have something for everyone. Check out how cool the store looks below.
FrostFrench has taken over the 'Transit Lounge' for a few months and have created a luxurious boutique with an original Victorian bed, sumptuous fabrics and beautiful feminine clothes on show.
Above is Sadie Frost and family on the Victorian bed.
Watch this space for our new tenants coming soon....

Our new ‘mega-store’ opened in the heart of Leicester City in November 2009 and traded through the busy Christmas. The store vanished one night early January.
