Maybe It's Because I'm a Londoner - Luna & Curious

I hope you are ready for this because I certainly wasn't.

Luna & Curious, 198 Brick Lane

Situated at 198 Brick Lane in the East End of London this gem of a shop - Luna & Curious is something else. I found no other shop that had such a variety of amazing designs by such amazing people. Near Spitalfields Market and The Trueman Brewery this area rocks. I absolutely fell in love with it.

Their promotional material gives a clue to how imaginative they are.

A collective of designers run this place some of whom are stylists - can you tell?

Polly and baby Mabel in Luna & Curious

One of the founding members of the collective is Polly George (above with her adorable baby Mabel) who many of you will know for creating fabulous ceramics which are incidentally now all made in bone china in Stoke on Trent (the home of bone china) by the very last factory to make hand made china flowers.

Clinton Lotter's reworked vintage clothes - I am speechless....

Clinton Lotter a new collective member was the recent winner of Project Runway and after seeing his work I fully understand why.

I could go on and on about this shop but follow the links I have left for you and you can see it all for yourself.
What I loved most about this shop was how happy everyone was and how excited they all were about each others designs. My visit was THE BEST and I mean THE BEST.
