The store is clearly divided with wearable goods in the front half and stationary goods in the back. Everything out is display only. If you want to purchase something you indicate you would like it and the salesperson eagerly goes to check stock. Once stock is confirmed the salesperson will receive confirmation you want the item and then they will bring it to the counter. They are very particular with this process. And they are hawkish. I never got warm fuzzies from the salespeople who seemed very intense and eager for any sale. They never engaged in pressure sales but once interest was shown they quickly descended with military precision. Our salesperson was efficient and solid, but seemed quickly irritated when he couldn't close a sale immediately especially if a cash register was occupied by another co-worker. We were never in a rush but our salesperson wanted to be done. He hovered by three different machines before one freed up. The merchandise is quite nice! I especially loved the purses which were classy and unique with fantastic colors. I love them! If you want fancy paper or great purses would highly recommend!

They have jackets and designs go back 70 years, and can be seen in a number of films of the 1950s and 1960s. The quality is very high, since they use premium smooth leathers, but then so are the prices: expect to pay close to £800 for a jacket. You can buy off-the-peg in the shop (they have a large range of stock there) but they will also make small adjustments to stock sizes if you want a jacket made. This is what I had done when I purchased a jacket eight years ago. You can also order one of the standard designs in a range of colours (including white, yellow, red, and blue) as well as the classic black and brown. Some of the design is also available in suede. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly, as he would expect for a premium service.

On the other hand, I watched another woman throw an absolute fit with her store associate and that is just embarrassing. He actually handled it quite well and offered to help her, etc. She still acted like an absolute brat. Trust me, do NOT be that person. Don't forget to have them fill out a VAT form (for travelers).

I have recently bought myself a tan coloured bridle leather passport holder with the Queen's crest on the front cover and also black leather silk lined gloves. The passport cover is £45 and the gloves are £95, and I must say, for the quality of Pickett gloves, they are much better than Dents gloves and they smell nice as well. If you're looking for something, that's very English, start off with Pickett first and make your decision from there. You can forget Selfridges and Harrods for leather goods, Pickett is probably the best in the top five of British leather shops in town.

I've only been to this leather clothing store twice now. The…read moreshop seems okay. But feels very much like, by appointment only. The leather jackets are literally made on the shop's premises. The geezer who runs this store is a fully trained Savile Row tailor. Personally, I wouldn't buy a leather jacket from this store, I would rather go to Lewis Leathers on Whitfield Street in Fitzrovia. General Leather Co. do not stock leather accessories, i.e. wallets, bags, and luggages. Only leather garments, I'm afraid.

I bought a black leather sports jacket from Cromford about 18 months ago. So, this review is long…read moreoverdue! We were visiting England on holiday for two weeks in October 2017. While visiting a local tailor in London, I asked for a referral to a good leather tailor. The first name he gave me was Cromford. We visited all three referral's he gave us but, were blown away by Cromford and Pauline. I am 6' tall with a 37" sleeve length. As a result, it's almost impossible for me to buy anything off the rack. This is especially so with leather jackets. When I saw the quality of the leather, the workmanship and the names of some of their clientele, it was obvious Cromford Leather was the right choice. So, buying a made to measure leather jacket is not a quick process. We had to head back to the states in 8 days. And, the measuring and fitting process, along with the test fit can't be done within a day or so. Knowing we were on a short schedule, Pauline and team worked to have a test jacket ready for fitment upon our return to London 7 days later. We immediately headed for Cromford upon our return. They had the test garment ready for me. After making some very slight modifications, she confirmed the jacket would be ready to mail to me a few weeks later. Being a very expensive investment, it was a bit nerve wracking to leave London and wait for weeks to receive a jacket that might not fit. The end of the story is I couldn't be happier with the jacket! Perfect Fit!!! Extraordinary quality!! Fantastic leather! I get compliments on the jacket from men and women alike every time I wear it! They may be a bit pricey, but you can't go wrong with Cromford, Pauline and her team! They are worth every penny.

If cutting edge contemporary jewellery is your thing you needn't look any further than Lara Bohinc…read morein uber cool Hoxton Square. Having graced the pages of Vogue, Tatler et al, Bohinc's jewellery is stocked in Selfridges, Harrods and Liberty but the designer's original Hoxton boutique is Mecca for all Bohinc fans. If I'm honest, I've never been a fan of shops to which entry comes via ringing a bell. I think its a hangover from having worked in a ghastly upmarket boutique on Sloane Street whose relative exclusivity - complete with obligatory door-bell ringing should customers deign to want access - made it the most boring job EVER. That said, ringing a bell should hardly reason enough to avoid Lara Bohinc. Her semi-fine jewellery crafted out of gold plated rhodium, silver and swarovski crystals in at times Art Deco and other times Modernist shapes. As Bohinc's jewellery doesn't come cheap my advice would be to get yourself on the mailing list. You'll get special invites to the shop's sales where you can pick up a pair of earrings for as little as £25. A relative steal considering Bohinc's pieces look like they might just be the collectibles of the future.

It is so different on the outside to the interior; which is very white, glossy and has quite a New York boutique feel to it. The range of jewellery and handbags are brilliant too, but as a broke student I just dream of buying them. The sales assistant was really polite when i went in and totally on hand in the unlikely chance that I needed help deciding what to buy. I'm not a big fan of the doorbell though, I prefer a doorman or just open entry on boutiques but I suppose it is for security more than anything else. Its worth a look in, she's an amazing designer and her pretty East end boutique is the perfect place to see all her creations.
