The pieces featured and the designers are less well known, making them more unique and slightly different to anything else on the market. I love the large, spacious yet homely layout of the shop. However, the prices are Kensington prices, the only cheap thing I found in the shop was a £6 child's ring but when the identical ring is being sold for 50p in my local sweet shop it is not really that cheap at all.

This beautiful boutique with its several floors feels like a mix of homely style with good quality, vintage detailing and a dash of quirkiness. All the products feel handpicked and handmade. Products range from children's wear to home pieces. Wooden floors, wooden hangars and wooden vintage furniture mixed with new collections all create a general look - as if from a different era. They also carry lots of labels - Sigerson Morrison "belle" shoes - which I am a big fan of and downstairs is the men's shop called "The Garbstore" with more designer lines. A total united vision - everything looks as if it should be there -and somehow relates - not easy with so many products but done in such a more-ish way

It is located on Regent Street in London. It is close to Underground Stations on near enough every line, being just a short walk away from Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus and step-free Green Park. Despite being larger, the store follows traditional Superdry decor, a slightly dark and cool vibe but it has unique twists to warrant the flagship location including large writing with the brand name going across the escalators and multiple floors. The store layout was pretty straightforward, but do be careful of "steps" which might separate different parts of the shop floor. The Lower Ground floor wasn't too welcoming from the lift, I felt like the lift had dropped me off at an abandoned building, it was quiet with no people or signs, it felt quite scary until I went along to find the toilet and a passage lit up by the other part of the store, so this could do with some work to implement the same vibrance the store has across all areas. The staff could have been all friendly and for a store of its' size, there doesn't seem to be enough lifts which is a shame. Slightly higher pricing in some areas is also worth noting. A cool, large Superdry store, albeit not without its' faults but this flagship Regent Street, London branch does warrant a three-star rating.

Once I entered the store I was not only warmly greeted but it was genuine. In fact it wasn't one sales associate but all of them. That alone made me want to shop. I tried on several items and left with a pair of black python looking straight leg pants. Also wanted one of their signature vinyl bags but which one I loved them all! So I got a black with their signature floral print. Signature as ai tried a blouse and t shirt with the print but of course it looked better on the bag than on me. As I hurried to the register quickly in fear of missing my flight home. Note they check your boarding pass and you are not charged duties if you are traveling out of the country. I asked the associate a favor please go through my British Pounds and I will pay the difference on my credit card. Little did I know BP expire so my $5 and $10 need to be exchanged on my next trip to the UK. Would definitely come back next trip.

I escaped with a lovely scarf and tore myself away from some amazing shoes that were half a size too large for me. A real steal of a shop with Chanel, Prada, Miu Miu and some higher-end high street...and definitely not as packed with weary-looking rich kids like some of the other vintage giants around Camden/Covent Garden. Highly, highly recommended. I took a star off mainly due to the fact that there were toddlers crawling all up in some amazing leather bags. Mental thoughts included, do NOT puke/poo/pee (like that alliteration action?) on that, thanks.

I so enjoyed my conversation with them regarding the history of different design houses, and where these houses are now under the current design teams. Be sure that you visit both the top and bottom floors. I found that the best items seem to be on the top floor, but the bottom floor is worth the trip, especially if you have any children in your life who you might like to gift some lovely designer pieces. Unfortunately, I didn't walk away with anything during my first visit, but I did find a gorgeous Chanel jacket that was priced fantastically (it was just not in my size), and an MIH shearling jacket that I may have to go back for that was also priced reasonably, as well as a cute little Burberry coat in the children's section that was an absolute steal. If you become a regular customer, I was informed that then they will offer to add you to their email list to be alerted when special pieces in your size come in--they do narrow it down to meet your specifications (size, designer, etc). Currently, I was told that the list is about 1000 persons long, and that pieces fly out the door, so it is best to visit often and not wait for the email notifications in any case.

The Designer Warehouse is one of my favourite London discoveries…read more Not far from my home, and just off Seven Sisters road is a monthly sale for designer clothes - having heard from it from a colleague, I didn't really know what to expect. It was great and would definitely recommend giving it a visit. When getting to the warehouse, you have to leave your bag and coat (including your phone) in a cloakroom, and may a small fee of £3 (or 2?) to be able to get in. The sale is over 2 floors, and organised by designers - some are really well known, some are smaller names I've never heard of. It's not a posh environment, it's just rows and rows of clothes on hangers - and you have to take the time to go through them to find the gems, and also your size. There aren't any changing rooms, but there is an area where you can go and try them on at the back of the venue - it's closed off to men, but you do have to accept getting changed in front of other women. I am myself a massive fan of Vivienne Westood, and this was also the opportunity for me to try on a few pieces of her clothes - and yes, I did cave in and buy a top (1/3 of the original price) and a scarf. Good to know: they separate their sales between womanswear and menswear - their schedule is updated on their website.

We visited on a Saturday while the market was in full swing so the store was crammed with people. The Mister was taken with their men's messenger bags and settled on a very stylish model that was waxed so it's rain resistant. At under £40, it was reasonably priced and it's good quality too. Kelly couldn't resist a smaller purse - again, stylish, sturdy and a great souvenir! The staff, despite being so busy, was lovely and gave us some good recommends for local places to grab a bite. Worth a stop!

It's the shoes; such wonderful shoes and not too many of them so it feels manageable to take a look. And best of all, there's nearly always a sale so you can justify why you're checking again - you know, just in case they have your size, and whilst you're there why not, of course, check out the new stock? It's like Office with some of the slightly off-key, trendy brands common to it- Sugar and Vagabond to name a couple. There are also clothes at the back, of the same ilk as its shoes, fashionable, quirky and a little different to that which you normally find on the high street. The only downfall is the price, which can be pretty high. But there are, of course, the sales.
